So if Essendon would have taken Robey and Sharp rather than risk someone doing a deal with us to take Sharp, would we have taken Taylor and Farrow?

The opposite, my interpretation was if Farrow, XT and Pickett were on the board, we still wouldn't have selected Farrow

Great content except they missed night 2 of the national draft...

Does JT not literally say if Essendon take Sharp, we'll pick Taylor and Pickett? Or am I going crazy?

Onley is a big lad, love that. Built. Hope he gets bigger and breaks packs like Tom Hawkins

Nope, our order of the 5 players left in our tier of players (perhaps our second tier behind the Eagles guys and perhaps Cumming) was:

Robey (unsure where but likely first), Taylor, Pickett, Nairn, Farrow.

And as explained by Twomey had Essendon gone Taylor we would’ve picked Nairn at 11 just to get Pickett in the 12 slot.

Top 3 insights:

Taylor: best on ground with the wrong boots! Plus confidence that he’ll mature into a leader and finals type player.

Pickett: Love the line from Lamby that if his name was Latrelle Richardson they’d still pick him. The belief in his talent being obvious even in 2023. And the confidence that he can play wing or even on ball.

Matthews: exciting to hear about how good they think he is athletically and how he complements our other small forwards.

clearly they were beyond thrilled that xavier 'nephew' taylor fell through to our selection while latrelle pickett was always going to be selected by us

the wraps on matthews are strong; exciting to hear

I've been waiting for this video and feared it wouldnt be produced this year. Fantastic insights into the process. I enjoyed the banter between the team.

Kingy was very complimentary...

That was my takeaway too. It’s highlights and edited, but Kings looked so poker faced until he was talking about Pickett
