I don’t think we rate Grij for some reason 🤷

Robey is the one And to add insult to injury it was us who first interviewed him before all the hype I know we’ll get two solid players at 7 and 8 but it’s definitely an underwhelming crop right when we need more star power coming through

We’re really going to take a player ranked in the 20s/30s over this guy aren’t we…

I think it was Emma Quayle man - she’s on the GWS recruiting team

Yikes Thank [censored] we didn’t do that 🤣

Apologies - you’re correct on Pickett Reading that he has scope for wing or even midfield minutes makes this a more exciting pick for me (if it does happen) but geez what a jump it would be compared to what the media is reporting at the moment

Yes but none were rated as low as Nairn this late Nairn would be the biggest reach we’ve ever had I usually back JT to a fault but this would be a massive swing and potential miss based on who else would be available

Lmao in what world are we taking him with 7 or 8

Grij and Farrow yes please Edit: and Greeves!? 🤯

It would give us some versatility for sure, and I suspect that’s something King would rate (based on how Geelong like their players to operate)

Are we locking in the Cumming + Farrow double?

Strong agree Honestly it feels like we fall just outside the top end of this draft (and even that isn’t as inspiring as previous years) I trust we’ll get two solid players but it’s chalk and cheese compared to Langford and Lindsay last year

Hey that was my question 🤣 Reading the tea leaves I was getting the sense that we didn’t rate Grij as highly Disappointing if that’s the case as I feel he has the tools to become a mid in the Butters mould But as always in JT we trust

It’s Kentfield season

Now that it’s getting more likely that we draft Farrow, I’d like to apologise for calling him a poor man’s Harvey Langford and say I’ve always been a big fan of his work

Maybe it’s just because he’s also a left footer but Farrow gives me ‘poor man’s Harvey Langford’ vibes

Concerned that we don’t rate Grij for whatever reason I have no idea why we wouldn’t take him at 7 or 8 if he was available

I mean that’s sort of my point though - none of the key forwards in this year’s crop did what either Cadman (playing himself into top 10 consideration) or Walter (being the dominant forward from the start of the year) did I just personally think taking KPFs early in the draft is a much bigger risk than just about any other position That’s not to say that he or Shubert won’t become good players - it’s just that I feel there are far more bankable options at 7 and 8 that I hope we take (that still fill a need for us and are likely to impact more in the short term)

MFCSS after Cook, Weid and (potentially) Jefferson Personally I’m just not a fan of taking KPF’s in the early first round unless they are absolute standouts like Walter or Cadman in recent years

To be fair he’s definitely not rated in the top 5 But still I agree - no disrespect to the kid but I hope we stay away from him like the plague Wouldn’t be surprised to see him slip into the late teens on draft night

Is there any chance we wouldn’t take Grij if he was available at 7 or 8? It’s probably just my MFCSS talking but I haven’t heard him linked to us in the same way Cumming/Schubert/Dovaston has Other than Robey he’d be my #1 target

Starting to look like we’ll be picking him if he’s available at 7 Even if he’s not my first preference he does look like the type of player JT would love - and that’s never a bad thing

That’s the dream 🤞

Because Dovaston is a better prospect

Just out of interest - who do you like at 8 if not Dovaston? I’m guessing we take whoever slides out of Robey/Taylor/Grij/Sharp/Cumming at 7 and use 8 on a needs based player (with Dovaston as a small fwd making the most sense to me personally)
