Doubtful given he was 18/19 at the time. Kids make mistakes, and he’d be far from on his own in that regard.
I’m still amazed he’s only 25. He looked that old when he debuted for the Suns in 2018.
198cm ruckman Is a little on the short side, but hes definitely a competitive bloke. Loves a tackle.

It was 6 years ago and we only need to sign him for six months. I’d lean towards giving him a second chance.

That was in 2019. if he hasnt gone near it since it shouldnt stop us from drafting him
Long shot but If we do draft him and he happens to become just as good as Draper it will be intresting to see wether we keep Draper
what about Mirkov from blues.
only playing park footy now, and had heart issues but hopes to return to afl.
would be funny to grab a ex blue and he turns out good.
210cm, picked ahead of Sam Durham
25 years old.

If our biggest need at the time is a ruck, we take the best ruck before others grab him.

I’d hope we didn’t pick a park footballer with heart issues that’s a huge risk

Might be an idea to give some of those we drafted this year a go before grabbing more.

Do rucks get knocked out more than other players? They don’t hit the ball out with their head.

Especially since our players give fans heart issues every single week.

I think a wing would be a good idea for us as depth.
In order I’d go:
Key forward/ruck
Ruck
Wing
Considering he’s knocked himself out just trying to spoil then I’d say yes Ruck might be a fair risk of concussion.

If there is another potential Durham or Massimo, then it’s negligent not to draft.

The Essendon draft red herring?

If there is a Newvome or Durham sitting there, you just have to get them.

Take the best player with first pick, and a big evil ruckman with the last pick.

And what do you suggest for our middle pick, an in betweener?
Not sure we will take 3 that is all. If we do then the second best player.
Cats took O’Sullivan (14) in the draft plus our other draft pick to allow us to take Caddy. O’Sullivan is very tall, a good mark, mobile and promising, They take Bowes plus an unprecendented draft pick from Gold Coast. Chris Scott saying the Cats are talking to juh. We are so consrvative.
Let me guess we should have taken O’Sullivan instead of Caddy
