My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 10, I Remember Bluey

How on earth did he last till pick 26!

 

[Whispering_Jack]

He's farking great.

You're loving the 'farking' aren't ya benny?

 

[yodellinhank]

Love the pic of him with TBC, he looks like one of those mascot kids.

Hope he goes on with it and isn't just another over-hyped because they are young Essendon favourite newbie.

Kid is a freaking fun

 

[Pweter]

I love how his tackles stick. He's half the size of some of his team mates, has half the strength of some of his team mates, but some could do plenty to watch him tackle. Priority number one: grab the hips. Priority number two: If can't get the hips, grab anything else. Priority number 3: Hang on and don't ****ing let go.

 

[Paul_Barnard]

Thank god we picked him up considering our draft sanctions. Essentially turned a mid 20 pick into a top 5-7 as things stand.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Like him a lot.

 

[Kakkle]

Where do people rate him if you were to rank him in players who have made their debut this year after being drafted last year?

I'm sure I could've asked this in a more concise way.

You mean where does he rate amongst the Dunstan's, Langdon's etc?

 

[Kakkle]

Yes mam.

 

[eth-dog]

I'd say:

Langdon, Dunstan, Kelly, Aish, Koldjashnij are ahead on form, and he's in the Billings, Bontempelli, McDonald, Taylor group.

 

[Autobahn]

6 goals and 0 points.

What's everyone else's excuse?

 

[daffo]

Gun player, very happy with him. We'll look back on this draft and see that he is a top 10 player from it. Bontempelli may be the best.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

He was the only player chasing back with purpose in the dying minute and tried to tackle cross or viney. Showed up all the other jokers.

The kids a winner.

 

[blitzer]

There's a lot of good players already from last years draft but I reckon he will be top 10 when all is said and done maybe even better. Also this has been a fairly disappointing year in many respects but I would say his efforts have been one of the positive highlights.

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

Game saving steal at the end. I ****ing love this kid!!!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Natural born champion. What a ****ing gun!!!!!!

 

[daz17]

Could have gone all the way!

 

[Ben the Gooner]

How smart was the pass back to Stanton to slow it all down?

 

[Autobahn]

Can we just recruit these private school kids more often. At least you're almost guaranteed they'll make the right decisions.

I read a book once but didn't finish it.

Opposites attract.

To be fair Stanton was the one begging for it. IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
