My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 10, I Remember Bluey

Think Zac will be sub this week. Two weeks as sub will prime him for the rest of the season.

 

[Loonerty]

Yep.

 

[yaco55]

Found gaps in heavy traffic - Makes me excited !

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This bloke could be scary good in 3 years time. Definate worth as a top 10 pick equivalent!

 

[Chambo]

So impressed by Zac.

 

[eth-dog]

I've said it before, I'll say it again, the kid's a Sam Mitchell clone

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'll say it again too how did he slip to 26

Probably failed the 20k medical test.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

We need to draft more two footed players.

Reminds me of a young quicker version of Sam Mitchell. We might have hit the jackpot with this kid.

No doubt.

Really like that he fought his way back into the game after being found out by the pace big time in the first quarter.

That tackle with a couple of minutes left, I think it was Pittard was awesome Port were out. He must be a strong fella

I thought that was Jackson?

I will go and check the replay, either way they both strong buggers

Zach laid a strong tackle with 1min to go, Jackson with 20s just left.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Cracks in hard and is smart around the packs like him a lot.

 

[yaco55]

Bruno is right - Struggled with the intensity of the game in the first half - Improved in the second half and he can find the footy.

 

[Kong]

His and Joe's repeated sprints are great to see, especially from two kids who presumably aren't that match fit.

They are the sorts of players that will change the culture of this side.

 

[Schmidty Chut]

Super impressed with young Zach's burst of pace and ferocity around the contest. Has a lot of things you can't teach and by all reports is willing to practise the things you can train. Have a feeling he will be hearing a lot of Sam Mitchell comparisons for the next few years at least. Exciting times to think of the likes of Zach and Jackson, Joe D, Ashby, Gleeson and Ambrose developing over the next few years, not to mention Heppell who is becoming an absolute jet.

Dogs get a front running forward......we get an elite midfielder...thanks!

 

[Zach Package]

He's the chosen one. The one the prophecy foretold*



Prophecy may or not have been my own drunken raving after our finals lost to carlton 'one f***king day we'll draft a smart footballer who can kick with both f***ing feet'

 

[JDavey]

Outside change for Rising Star I think - if he can keep up this form through to the end of the year he may get the nod.

Who else is gunning for the award?

 

[Loonerty]

Bontempelli would be up there.
