Jack Petruccelle. He is lightning quick. Shame as we could have used his speed

Saints continue their obsession with tall defenders in the last 5 years....

Delaney, Roberton, Carlisle, H Goddard, Coughlan, N Brown, Logan, Clavarino.

how can a club not have their selections already chosen? took an eternity to choose - surely they have contingency sheets drawn up?

Clavarino?
Imagine that fool Brian Taylor trying to pronounce it!!!

:evil: :oops:

He might just call him Stretch

They were contemplating if picking a tall defender was worth putting up with Con's feedback. F*** him they said. :lol: :lol:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Here's Oscar Clavarino's showreel.



Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

I have no issues with it.
But Nate Brown should start thinking about life after professional football and Hugh Goddard would be feeling nervous....

Just throwing darts at the problem now.. hoping one will hit the board

The draft team has a list of each player's Pros and Cons
:mrgreen: :evil:

(somebody has to say it!!)

I agree with the fat little Greek, Nat Brown should be jumping on seek.com
or checking out his investment portfolio...about an alternative income stream

Nice in the air. Nice leap. Nice kick. Nice size.

Clavarino does look like he can take a grab and is an interceptor... and apparently can negate as well

Pick 46 Ben Patton (DEF)
Height: 186cm

Medium defender who provided great run from defence and used the ball well by both hand and foot in the NAB AFL U18 Championships for Vic Country, winning All Australian honours. Has an impressive natural leap, allowing him to play on a taller opponent when required.

OK, now Goddard is happier than before.
His rival is like a tractor

If they room together, look out, Hughie will be giving the Clavicle
extra helpings of mashed potatoes, very fatty beef and sausages.

Hugh will do the Maccas runs and insist on getting 3 burgers for OC
but only eating salads himself
