If anything it will come in. Maybe 32-35

Henderson? Mentha? McAdam? Please🤦🏻‍♂️ Kozzy and Watson did pretty well in their first years. I’ll back a kid over the three of those you mentioned combined.

Think Nairn is a lock no matter what happens. But yes the Pickett situation opens up more than it ever has if Taylor, Cumming, Farrow is gone.

Dons getting 9 could scupper our chances of Farrow. Given they would be aware we won’t pick Sharp, so they pick Farrow before we do. That would suck (if you’re a fan of him😂)

My read is Farrow and Nairn because Taylor/Cumming/Robey likely won’t slip to us

Essential. The neglect of the small forward at Melbourne is a concern. Sure we have Kozzy, but if Chandler is up the ground again we severely lack a small pressure crumbing forward. Especially when you consider our forward like having the lack of pressure with JVR, Melksham, Fritsch, Mihocek…

Agree with this. Was recontracted for 2026 when Goody was. Really unfortunate.

All I know is 2026 will be Richo’s last in his current role. So maybe this is just to get the right man in a year early which is perfect for Steven Kings first year.

He’s one of the players I’d love most. Damaging kick, strong body and tough/competitive as anyone. Can see him being much more than just a half back.

Essendon in Gather Round again? Why is this a thing?

Baby Bont in number 4. Meant to be

Waverely

By no means am I saying he’s terrible but he’s not what we need. Even with the hole left by Oliver and Trac. I’m sure he’ll be a fine footballer and have a long career, I personally just don’t think a slow inside accumulator is what we lack.

Lacking speed and kicking skills? BIG pass under all circumstances.

Charlie Spargo’s old jumper too small for Jack it would seem😂

Nope

Totally agree. Glaring hole on our list.

Wouldn’t be a surprise if we threw 7&8 at West Coast on Night 1 for 2&13 and take Robey and one of Nairn/Pickett. But whether or not the Eagles bite (to ensure they get Farrow) is another question.

Doesn’t seem so. Pickett priority I reckon if it’s any small forward.

I would like to think we would do that or at least try, but not from what I know. There was conversations of trading GC’s future first to get Pickett in the first round but unsure if that’s gone anywhere… yet.

Feels as if it’s gonna be 2/3 of Nairn, Farrow and Pickett. With Robey, Taylor and Cumming all to go beforehand (unfortunately).

Nairn and Pickett. Funny part is we could likely trade 8 back and still get both of them. Anyway. In JT we trust.

We have Windsor. That’s one of the biggest reasons.

He came off the cat b list last year.
