It’s almost impossible to compare Pickett's path to the draft as a “reach” with a player who’s been in the Coates League for years, playing APS footy - managing diet, training, game structure, approach since 13 years old. These kids are known for years they are potential AFL. Pickett is from the Tumby Bay league outside Port Lincoln - he's on a rapid rise. This worked for Kozzie - may or may not for Latrelle. But geez I’m Excited to go to the footy next year - which amazes me as my favourite ever player is now a Giant.

My mum is a mad insane Saints fan - goes every week and has for 50 years or more. She’s gutted. This is fabulous for quality and depth.

Guess 4 pick 7 5 Steele 9 Jiath 13 pick 8 14 Mihocek 27 Heath 33 pick 37 34 White

I’d heard Scarlett coming also

Could he do what Jack Martin has done in 2 finals for the Cats after years of injury mixed with flashy brilliance. Of course he could. Let’s back him; only needs to play 12-15 games - and 3 finals!

Alternative view; this is very good succession planning that you tap into IF needed. We need it now. Even better than if this has occurred it’s been done without any media leaks.

He was a good fun teammate though Howie - could take a hanger in his day; played like Fritsch

Agree with this view of Jeffo. He looks really comfortable at VFL - now play him for rest of season and see if he can become same at AFL.

The athletic profile is so good for a young tall. He really is like his dad in so many ways; lots of development to come. Raw. Worth a spot on the list for 3-4 years to let the talent come through. Well done Kalani.

Not even an ounce of breeze all night. Perfect conditions just cold. Great last quarter

Yes; plenty. Decent choice

Here watching live. Liking Jeffo tonight; looks comfortable As “the guy” up forward. Cross likely also. Fullerton not liking. Needs to crack in more. We have ALOT of similar mid size types - need some more X factor. Smith handy, Laurie amazing goal, Hendo ok in bits, Bonner gets a lot of it - sweet kick. Liking Verral game also. Using his body well. Young White is a bean stalk - very very athletic. Hope he makes it as a ruckman/3rd tall. Adam’s got done a few times that quarter. Bombers having a real go. Go Dees

Hoyney did some great stats last week on SEN re backup ruckman. Message was don’t bother, pick the best forward. Back up rucks avg 4 centre bounce a week; 15 ball ups and one goal for and against, so basically a nil all draw. Pick Jeff if he’s in best form.

Thinking: Out: McDonald (managed), Sharp (omitted) In: Lever, Viney Sub: Fritsch

Having watched both games yesterday I’d go: In May and McVee Out Turner and Sharp Melky sub Emerg; Fritta, Adam’s, Laurie
