Good article.

Lot of hype around James Jordon.  Didnt see anything to warrant it in the two preseason games to be honest.

Excellent read. I’m very optimistic for Jackson and Rivers.  Both were impressive last year. 
I’d have Laurie and Bowey on a par for talent and execution. But they are young and didn’t play in 2020. Jordan could be very useful and his skills/kicking are very efficient. Might get a go in the first few rounds.

So a player (Bowey) who you wouldn't have drafted ahead of the third and fourth last players taken in the entire draft last year, in addition to a totally undrafted and unlisted player, is now miraculously,  in your view, as talented as our highest draft pick in the last six years?

But Bowey did play well in the VFL scratch match ......

??  I was not comparing Luke Jackson with Bowey. I was comparing Bowey and Laurie. 

Jackson and Rivers will be regulars in the red and blue.  Very very optimistic about them.  

Both Bowey and Laurie should be given probably get the first 6-7 games at Casey at least given they didn’t play last season. My opinion.

There was a moment where he burst away from the pack to receive a handball from the congestion on the boundary wing, he ran and kicked it to half forward. If he can do that often, it's just what we need.

Jackson will be an incredible player. 
 

Let’s hope he remains with the club for years to come.

I happen to believe that our 6 draftees from 2019 Draft ( Jacko Kossie snd Riv) snd 2020 ( Bowey Laurie and Rosman) are just as important In development as our Top  6 AA boys for our Club.

Mist we're selected because if their skills in the game which we are deficient in.

Disposal is our Achilles heal and Riv Kossie and Jake and Bailey are very skilled and smart small men who will add pace and cleverness to our playing stocks in the next fire years.

Jacko was a No  3 draft pick too good to Ignore and has really exciting ball skills pace and handball for his size and age.

Riv is a very rounded player off half back for his youth s as Nd plays like a 100 gamer on his composure and minding his opponent.

I witnessed his magnificent almost BOG game vs GWS last year at the Gabba and no way would we have won without this young Tyro performing st such a high level. I even believe Riv ( and Jake and Bailey ) are kids who could end up as Captain of our Club or Vice in the future.

Fraser Rodman has aN upside in size at 194cm, pace, marking and his endurance and tank plus he's not a bad kick and at 18 yrs had an AFL body to develop quickly on the wing especially. He will develop once he pickS up all the things on how to  play st AFL level.
 

Kossie is an excitement machine running tackling and performing at a high pace and enthusiasm and once he adds composure he will start to fulfil his potential and be a consistent goal contributor and assister in Ours our attacking plans for the next decade or more.

All very important each one snd this group are vital for our future and I have high hopes for all which could add the pieces of The puzzle for our next long awaited flag.
 

May they all have long and successful careers at the Dees.
