Geewiz, he’s elite at dropping the knees to get headhigh contact.

Zac would be happy take him under your wing captain

Pressure forward?

He is going to annoy opposition supporters. Knows how to play for frees. Can set him up to play small forward long term. Has a fierce kick, not accurate but I think he will come ahead. I’m not a fan of this draft haul overall but this kid is going to be a star.

■■■■ yes. While you lot go wacko for kako I will be watching Unwin

Another,

Must be highest AFL players per capita of anywhere by a country mile.

This is not a typical Essendon pick. He is an annoyingly fast competitive player

You said that about J. Davey

Since JDavey is now gone, young Unwin fills that list need. He doesn’t look like he is scared of his own shadow.

Their Hampden league rivals Koroit would be close, now with O’Sullivan as well

Both about 2-2,500 people.

Although there are a couple of extras Cobden claim i.e. Sam Walsh who didn’t play for the Cobden bombers but was a local.

Hope he continues to be the chumps’ darling. Able to draw free kicks at will. Opposition fans will love to hate him.

Maybe, Unwin = To win a match of no importance only to finish mid table and lose valuable early draft picks.

Anywhere??? You must have not heard of Tiwi, where Michael Long and Tippa came from.

Tiwi Islands must have the highest per capita production of not just AFL players but Norm Smith medallists and not by just a country mile but by a light year.

Needs to be at another club like Collingwood for that to happen.

South Warrnambool would beat Koroit on recent form.

Jamarra, George Stevens, Lual

Koroit had Marty Gleeson and Willem Drew

But Cobden has Rohan, Cunnington, both Merretts, Sam Walsh, Sean Darcy

Future upgrade on Gresham, more speed, similar midfield ability, slightly better kick, and improvement on scoreboard pressure.

Going to have to get used to not getting free kicks in the red and black
