We should have added him as a cat B as soon as we got assigned the Tiwi as our zone

And thus if not picked up in any of the 2018 drafts we’d have gotten him yes?
No space with Lavendar & putting McNeice back to it though… or could we have 3?
In the Tiwi games I saw, I was really impressed by Alistair Darcy. No idea how old he is.
If Marlion is going to miss two months, I’m not sure he makes much sense to draft tonight.

The only currently playing (and available) Tiwi player that we have on our NGA list is Jeffrey Simon, at least that has been published.
Unless the idea is more long term, settle him in Melbourne, get the support around him, rehab him and have him ready for a few games at the very back end of the year and firing for pre season.
Given our draft position this year, I wouldn’t be against it.

It was either him or Jetta, and I thought Franklin was the more surprising one given his media exposure.

Lots of kids though like 14-16 year olds.
I’m tipping the Tiwi fountain of norm Smith’s is going to start producing for us really soon tbh.

Pickett turns 28 in Jan next year as well
Against the under 24yrs recruitment policy they been generally sticking to, rucks the exception
If we actually were in genuine contention this year we’d have maybe considered if he wasn’t injured.
It really looks Marlion’s last chance at AFL tbh, at his age recruiters tend to look else where.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we’ve struck him from our list and will only take him as a fall back should the cards not fall our way.
Between the F/Ss coming through and the impending influx of Tiwi kids via the NGA, I feel you’re gonna be in a constant state of euphoria.
Jeffery Simon any chance this year?

I think we should pass on Pickett. At 27 he’ll be 89 by the time we’ll be in our next premership window

I wouldn’t say that after watching the seniors play.
Have any EFC VFL players nominated?
Does your crystal ball tell you which club we will be trading with to ensure these players can win a Norm Smith?
Per an earlier post, see link below. Note that some people are listed regardless of their current opinion because they tried to be drafted or were cut “recently” (i.e. Hocking).

Have you searched the EFC site for any references to Jacob Atley?
