One thing we know for sure is that Taylor is the right name to have on draft night..

I think Pickett is a punt in that most would have had Dovaston in their sights but this is where JT earns his money. A punt but a very healthy punt. Plenty of upside, not disappointed with the pick at all.

Ah the difficult 3rd choice.. Patriots Seahawks Eagles FWIW I think the bookies went a bit short on Buffalo. Texans could surprise.

"StickitoutinfrontofPickett!!"

Nairn to Hawthorn. Damn

Lindsay fell to 19? Good kicks still not valued enough?

Absolutely stoked with Xavier Taylor. Same feeling I had with Lindsay last year. I think he's got the lot, hybrid defender to take us into the future. Pickett at 12 is exciting but definitely a reach. Yes, Kozzie was a reach too so that is comforting. If there's a year to reach at 12 its this one though.

Love it Pennant. Father in law is from Scarborough, I stay there often. I wear my Scarborough Surf Club jacket to the MCG in winter all the time 🙂 On Farrow he's one of the harder ones to get a read on in this draft. The athleticism is definitely there and would hold him in good stead but I'm not quite seeing the Hayden Young in his play. Looks a little one dimensional and really wants to get onto his left. Not necessarily a bad thing but the next question I'd have is does he have the tank to get to as many contests as possible? Could go either way this one but I wouldn't be reaching with a top 10.

Has he got much of a leap?

You're probably right but for the youtuber market I reckon he's filling a void. There are some good 10 min punchy videos for the layman that wants to keep up without having to wade through 30 minute+ motion picture length and frankly boring discussions about the draft loaded with terms that most people don't understand. It may work for people like us but I'm constantly talking to people who don't bother getting into it because most of the content like this is way too hard to understand. Easy to consume and fairly concise, even if it is regurgitated. I also didn't realise Zerohanger had a YT channel until now.

It never works for me, I have to delay watching till at least lunchtime.

I actually just got onto Pommy in oz's youtube channel Turner. Actually pretty darn good! One of the better resources on YT outside of Gettable for draft reports etc.

That's smarts Macca! Think fans got a bit too giddy about our performance against Real..

Hawks-Rams will be a belter. Might actually watch it in full.

Alright, but your reputation is on the line..

Rankings and phantom drafts are different things.

Seasons in the abyss? Might end up being pretty accurate.

Underrated but something off Invaders Must Die like World's on Fire would be cool.

Was thinking the same thing. When the report raves about kicking I tend to study the action, especially the set shot action. It's pretty good but there is something happening in that ball drop that I wouldn't call perfect. I hear you on the jarring to the eye thing. The fact is though it seems to be very darn effective and you just have to go with it till it stops working.

Seriously when was the last time we doubled up with Essendon? Probably going back to Bailey years.

They also seem to have a lost a lot of rhythm in the passing game since some of their receivers went down. I guess it's better to have these problems in November but you'd want to see improvement quite sharpish.

It's such a fall, he really is a joke now. For 5'11 he had one of the best deep balls around. Now he's the punch drunk boxer who thinks he's still got it. Yes he shredded the 'boys but their D is garbage. His one day contract in Seattle is coming sooner rather than later I think.

I had the Bills as my SB favourites this year. I felt it was finally lining up. That was a horrible performance, you're allowed one of those in a season but all eyes will be on their response now, especially in an even competition like this one. He's got runs on the board but if younger guys ie. Daniels, Purdy, Stroud, Young put up a performance like that? Well, coaches don't forget those.

I wholeheartedly agree, in a developing team it counts for a lot more than getting trounced each week. The offense was doing enough I reckon. I would like to see them manage Dart a bit better going forward. The guy is aggressive by nature but they don't want to RG3 the kid. Russell just can't get a gig anymore..
