I'm just preparing Jacket's answers atm. First dot point is:
- He’s a man of great character and a future leader of the club
Anyone got some others?
complete package
comes from just a great family
due diligence
ticks all those boxes
we see him moving into the midfield
These 4 for sure!!!
Someone needs to do up a bingo card.
Connors has probably spoken to about 8 clubs about a trade for McGrath next year.
I suppose I’ll enjoy the “Oooh - aaaahhh, Andy McGrath” chant.
I feel for McCluggage.
Not being picked is almost like a death sentence being sent to Brisbane.
Listened to the Dodoro interview. It does strongly give the impression that we will take McGrath. Even ignoring the part where Berry mentions McGrath and Dodoro says we think he is the best (whether he is talking about McGrath or another option is not crystal clear). He talks about the fact that the player they chose is a leader and can lead the football club similar to Hodge.I’m 99% certain we are picking Andrew McGrath.
Yes it is. He’s not talking about McGrath specifically. He said “he” as in the player we will select tonight, and the next sentence clarified that.

You got it.
Just heard from a source I trust that it is McGrath who we are taking at 1.is he cutting shapes at billboards?

Hahaha yeah muzzing like a mad dog as we speak.
Hearing the same thing… in the media
And no I wasn’t haha
For those (including myself!) who might be tempted to treat tonight as a disaster if EFC doesn't pick their preferred candidate, here's a bit of perspective.This is what a REAL draft disaster looks like…

OJ. Simpson, #1 draft Pick 1968. How bad was he?

Should of went to Brighton instead of Ballarat.
If we draft mcgrath surely everytime he gets the ball the crowd goes ‘ooh ahhh’ ?
Is McGrath too short?
It’s McGrath.
Is McGrath too short?
Perfect height for CHF

Should have. The kids at Brighton would have known that.
Quality young man
We think he can slot in to the side from round 1
Just a natural footballer
Takes the game on
I feel like GSW are sucker punching is coz they really want McCluggage

To play alongside Curry? Didn’t know he was good at basketball too.

I read the first part of that and expected a KD or 3-1 jibe.
The outstanding footy player at our school at the age of 18 was “head boy” (called them “prefects” in those days) physically precocious ( mans body) at 18, good at all sports played centre for the school footy team then tried out for StKilda Under 19s in 1967 . Played 2 games. Not good enough. The surprise package was the slow to mature kid in the forward line who went on to play over 200 games at AFL level kicked over 250 goals, spent a couple of years in the backline and played full forward in a premiership team. Just sayin.

I’ve been meaning to point out that something in the way he moves reminds me of Hodge but I thought that’d sound lame - especially if we didn’t pick him.
But now that he’s ours. Yes he reminds me of Hodge.
He doesn’t seem flakey. Not sure I like flakey at No1. I want a dead set certainty to be good and consistent and strong.
