I’ve been to 20 junior games this year so maybe I qualify.

I thought Gresham was decent at the Saints comes to Essendon and he’s not the same player infact went backwards
Wtf happens to them when they come here?

Previous posts said that we would not be that interested in him. Why should we choose him over Cumming or Dovaston or Farrow or Grlj, who have been talked up more?
That has been the major talent of EFC. Over the history of the draft, no-one is better at burning first round picks than us.

This is surely the worst case scenario?
Duursma, CDT, Robey and Sharp taken by WCE and Richmond.
Terrifying.

Would be great to stop drafting players with low footy IQ or propensity for eternal injuries.

no chance they take Sharp, they would way rather have a Grjl/Cumming or even Farrow imo
Xavier Taylor & Cumming is a pretty good pairing with what’s left. I’m very comfortable with where we sit tbh.

I’m still betting on the tigers taking Taylor, trading their second to Melbourne who will take Robey and Richmond will slide back for Grjl and Dovaston (if Melbourne give up both picks).
I think Sharp and Cumming rounds out our onball division well; adding them to Durham and Caldwell will give us 4 genuine competitors that we can surround with outside class that can be targeted with future drafts. Most importantly by the time Bewick is at the club they should be an established quartet, alongside a likewise experienced Bryan or Visentini, which will help ease him into the big time.
As for the later picks,
I really like Oskar Taylor as a prospect but fitting him in the backline with Nguyen, Roberts and johnson will mean some tough decisions would have to made if a few of them don’t learn to play up the field. And I’m not sure if Taylor has shown he can play up on a wing, maybe one of the watchers has seen him do it though.
It makes me wonder if a natural wingman or HF like Barker or Phillipou might be an easier option to fit in.
I also think we should be trying to make some moves to bring Pickett in after the Sweid bid.

Mostly I have questions about players improvements.
Annable has a weakness in flair. Is someone that wrote this taking the ■■■■ or explain to me what flair is on a footy field?
If Prindable has same weakness flair as Annable…why don’t we bid on this one sooner than later. Make the Lions pay.
What is a players rawness?
What is it when they are talking about a players exposure?
What can a footy club fix easilly?
Is footyiQ an easy fix? This is a big question. If we take players that have endurance already, they can build upon that endurance in an AFL system. It is 1 part of the game ticked.
A player that can run all day has a huge advantage over the rest.
I like Emmett, Philipou, Allen, Dalton.
