Shenton or Murdoch??

How does Stanley compare to other 200cm athletic forward/ ruck players in the comp at his age and with the amount of senior games played? Are there better players in a similar package, or is Stanley ahead of the competition. I personally think he is a GOP who can take a good mark and is a nice kick...

You would hope any of top 30 picks are good prospects.

I find these discussions pointless, everyone has an opinion. Who cares?

From a list perspective we are nowhere near port of 3 years ago.
We need more a grade talent

Murdoch the other one I wanna see commit for a while as his cameo v crows in last game of about 10mins got me really excited. Rate him highly

Starting to get a little Petracca fever myself.
We have many key forward options at moment (sure many might not make it) but a goal kicking explosive mid who can win his own ball. Oh did I mention quick and goalkicking?

Use the psd to our advantage and we don't have to do anything silly.

Looks like we are officially chasing Jaksch http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-premiership/kristian-jaksch-will-be-hot-property-during-trade-period-as-st-kilda-joins-trade-fight/story-e6frf3e3-1227057012952?nk=5c850d6c4268b91c8d638851bda2d2d0 We need this type of player, would be great to use the ...

Pierce is not on the rookie list!

I still need someone to tell me how we are going to get 3 picks in the top 20? Trading pick No.1 for two early selections would appear the Saints' best chance of securing three picks inside No.21. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-05/saints-to-trade-hard Yes but how? maybe im thick but give me som...

This is close to the dumbest thread ever.

The only reason to get him would be to guarantee we finish last for more draft picks.

So we need a slow inside mid over 30? One who turned on the club? Yeah great idea.

Anyone who thinks Ross Lyon can't coach or he cost us flags is absolutely delusional.

Would anyone swap pick 1 for pick 4 and 20 from GWS? (assuming Frawley leaves and Melb get compo (pick 2+3)

Would you swap pick 1 (or hove mentioned pick 4) for Gold Coast Pick 7 and 15?

Leaving us Pick 4, 20 and 21 (approx)

or

Pick 7, 15, 20, 21.

Just a random thought

Instead of 1 and 21

To answer the OP.

Its called having a red hot crack, with lots of mids.

No secret formula, lets be honest, we aren't very good in these 2 areas.

Seriously, we have played many insipid games

Hes 19 and has zero proper pre seasons to his name due to broken scaphoid that required two operations. He is raw. Will be let loose next year. Exactly zero pre seasons so far The problem is everyone wants ripe and ready these days. Tall forwards need time. I wish he was kicking 50 goals a year, bu...

I just don't want to rule out getting Petracca if he is going to be the next Judd or something. We could really use a great midfielder to compliment our young developing midfield. Grab a forward through FA later on once Roo retires. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2014-08-15/phantom-draft-form-guide Petra...

It doesn't always have to make perfect sense. GWS is a whole new beast with amazing concessions that allow it to do things no other club can. Why the hell did they draft the WA KPF McCarthy at pick 13ish last year after taking Boyd at 1 and having Patton and Cameron? Maybe to 1) to piss the swans of...

It makes sense from GWS perspective. They have Patton and Cameron along with 4 other lesser known forwards (all first rounders by the way) Part of their thinking would have been 'how well will Patton come back after the knee?' Well he has been really good. If they keep him on the list in 2015 and he...

That article is spot on. Going to the footy will never be like it used to be. Not only stadiums have been sterilized, fans have too. I never thought the day would come where you get strange looks for yelling out at the footy. This. when I was between 11-15 venturing out to Moorabbin, I looked up to...

Seriously about 5 times we have ball in oust hands 10 m from goal and ends up turnover and goal to gc

Terrible miss. Longer

clearly not, but looks like a win after good comeback.

Yep if it is GWS last, then they won't take kp player.....unless they trade 4 or 5 out

Not welcome back in my book.

May be harsh but he had a3 year deal on table and walked to scum and wins a flag against us.

Should have worked hard to regain respect of coach and earn spot back in team.

In my opinion this thread is a disgrace First year, no preseason, missed most of 2013, and is playing in worst team as a forward! He is a gun and will make people look very silly, but what would you expect from the morons on this page. This site is now full of wanker sooks who can F*** off as far as...

Even if we wanted him with pick 1, Sydney just offer their first pick at say 19.
