Pick 26, which was after Port Adelaide bid pick 7 on him, as he was highly rated by many clubs in that draft.

This information is pretty freely available, but I hope that helps.

No worries. Can you look up ‘rhetorical’ for me?

Zero chance we use 7 or 8, his highlights show flashes of kozzie-esque movement but not too much else.

Imo it's not between him and Dovaston - Dovaston an early first and Sumner Pickett a more speculative late first/early second.

Dovaston cake Latrelle cherry on top.

Good summation. No disrespect to the kid he looks a quality player but it sounds like we're being baited to use a higher pick on him. Clubs know he'll be a carrot to keep Kozzie happy, so others slip through.

If he's there at our pick 37, sure you'd take the risk. Picks 7 & 8 need to be guaranteed 200+ game players, and hopefully stars. I don't see that with Latrelle, and there are other more proven small forwards who have stronger athletic attributes. If his surname wasn't Pickett, I doubt he'd be getting any attention.

i think whilst similar enough dove and pickett are very different players, afl teams even our shoddy team of the neeld/bailey era have space for electric forwards. latrelle has a wicked side step and the type of goal sense u cannot teach likewise his balance. he can take a game away from u in 5 minutes with 4 goals and you wouldn't even be surprised, whether the timing for him is right with where our list is at now, think liam ryan and willie rioli as cherry on top mature age selections who got 6ish years out of themselves, or could he be a tippa, stengle, cyril and has that prime at 25-26 but then loses it a bit sooner too

Kysiah was a pick that we reached for. I am sure it took our ‘grade’ in the draft from the experts down to a ‘B’.

Pretty glad we had such poor judgment at the time tho

weightman went at 6 too, it is quite a similar connundrum to the dove v pickett debate on our hands this year in some ways, although weightman is more a leadup then a genuine small.

i think latrelles forward craft genuinely is a step above say a jesse motlop, he has lighter steps and quicker movement than jesse did in his draft highlights i just went back and watched them

A month ago this draft was so bad we traded out of it, now it's on our doorstep we're selling the future to have more pics in it...

We have to make up our minds 😂

a month ago robey and pickett were rookie picks and JT was laughing and he had already sold our first round picks so could sell to the members that it was so hence our exit, now not so much, those players are first round locks and we have to make two prominent choices

Weightman went pick 15 in the draft.
