In hindsight given Burgoyne played for nearly another 10 years it was a very shrewd pick! The more similar one to Kako was when Jack Higgins went pick 1 to @ivan.
I’m actually don’t think it’s too much of a reach. Forwards who are consistent scorers are getting harder to find and it looks like Kako will kept forward eligibility for his career.
Higgens u18 fantasy numbers were just bonkers and I couldn’t resist. The health issues were unfortunate.
I Agree I don’t think Kako was a crazy reach at 1. I was considering him at 2 along with 2 others but in the end I’d resolved to for engine room players. Would love another really early pick. We doing line trades? Jokes
