That's a shocking list. Richmond have that and they just went 2-19Rivers just turned 23 (last week) and Pickett 2 months ago.
In my head I thought Petty was 23 but is actually 24 (promising defender) but young enough I think.
I think Kolt, AMW and Woey show promise too.
Too early to tell with Kynan and Verrall. Turner maybe as a defender.
Jefferson, prob not but key talls can look really average until their suddenly not with how long their development takes.
This guy gets itWe're looking down the barrel of a decade long rebuild at this rate.
They all could be role players, but they aren't even guaranteed to reach Hibberd/Brown/Harmes/Brayshaw levels let alone the Trac Oliver Gawn May etc levels that wins you flags.Firstly, he said players under 23 going into next year so I didnt count Rivers and Koz. Kolt has looked extremely ordinary outside a game vs the Eagles. Could he improve? sure, but bit of blind faith required. Can make the same argument for Jefferson as a first round pick too. AMW seems fine but dont think hes ever going to be a star. The rest outside Windsor, JVR and McVee look like fringe players at best right now. Havent shown anything to suggest they could be best 22 in a decent team.
The dees list in thier 23rd year or younger. Not bad I reckon considering we’ve been up for a few years.

An yet you want us to get Houston, mind bogglingThing is though we’ve probably done as good as we could with drafting. Remembering we’ve have not had access to a high pick since 2019 except the Windsor pick from Freo. And the couple of years before that we traded picks away.
The elite players usually come from the pointy end of the draft. I think the way the system is set up it is very hard to stay up like Geelong have. But we potentially have a couple more cracks at it despite what a few around here think.
I’m happy to get him but not with 2 firsts.An yet you want us to get Houston, mind boggling
Even our top 10 pick this year is suicide. Lucky for us we'll get another next yearI’m happy to get him but not with 2 firsts.
My thought on Houston:
For 6-7 this year and our first next year (and I assume their 2nd round back) will depend on if we make finals next year or not.

Look at this fanboy pumping up ClarryThey all could be role players, but they aren't even guaranteed to reach Hibberd/Brown/Harmes/Brayshaw levels let alone the Trac Oliver Gawn May etc levels that wins you flags.
AMW looks capable but I'm not seeing bloody Lachie Whitfield there
When it suits me he is one of the all time greatsLook at this fanboy pumping up Clarry![]()
Realistically, how many of these players look good or likely to be good?
Pickett - yes
Rivers - yes
Turner - maybe
Laurie - no
Bowey - probably not
Woewodin - probably not
Howes - maybe
JVR - yes
McVee - yes
AMW - maybe
Farris-White - no
Jefferson - maybe
Verral - maybe
Sestan - probably not
Adams - maybe
Brown - maybe
Windsor - yes
Tholstrup - maybe
Kentfield - no
I'd say that's pretty bog average overall.
Very generous to Adams here. Bloke struggles to get half a dozen touches for Casey when they get bombarded most matches.
I have him more in the bust column. Laurie I see a bit of Baker in him and think with games he can add something. Just needs to adjust to the speed a bit.
Sheesh, I thought he meant Oskar Baker - the spuddiest of spuds.Laurie compared to Baker, you mean Liam Baker ? Lol if so.
