Only one of two guarantees of the night, the other.
If we draft a back, he will replace Kolo in every ones predicted best 22

How long before someone calls one of the draftees a spud or sinks the boot into Wells/Mackie for the selections...7 oclock?
I'm fairly confident it will be me at around 7.25pm.

deep down did we really expect anything else?
Jackington
Back Flank Battler
Always nice to get one right every now and then.
Reckon we see Neale as a forward
Not disappointed with the 1st 2 picks, known quantities with scope.
Willis was a bit of a surprise but looks to be a good user and can take a nice grab.

Hadn’t heard any talk of Willis so did a bit of research. Sounds promising.
"Willis is a well built, hard running footballer who possesses a blend of speed and explosiveness which is quite unique for his size and frame. He combines these physical tools with an appetite for contested football that makes him a threat to impact every contest. Willis offers a balanced skillset through the midfield, capable of winning ground balls and contested possessions but equally effective on the outside where he can accelerate away from the contest and deliver to teammates. His wins at stoppages are typically high impact because of his ability to take possession of the football, exit the contest at pace, and deliver the ball with speed inside 50."

Willis seems to have good support from draft experts so always good to have a quick, powerful young mid especially one who wears glasses

Boy, don’t want to be negative but either we are are the only ones in the know or the only ones not in the know. A lot of good players we could have picked, according to the experts, but we have gone for others. Maybe 1st and 2nd selections ok but the next 2, I don’t think we can say we have heard of them. Anyway both apparently injured so no one saw them so a throw at the dartboard for me.
Just on drafting Conway, this is what I found on Greek Freak in an U18 match this year:
Paul Tsapatolis
Each stoppage was like watching a clip on repeat. Tsapatolis’ body work and strength was too good and his ability to plant his leg then protect the drop of the ball to palm the pill wherever he wanted was a standout. Once he had his body positioning, he was unmovable, and his set play which was a tap behind the head to Reynolds a few times was good. He won a free kick inside 50 in the first term but it drifted in the wind, then clunk a strong contested mark at half-back. The clear dominant ruck on the ground, the AFL-listed Cats rookie is progressing nicely.

I had read that and dismissed the need for Conway...Wells et al obviously rate the kid highly to tske him first up....he's been working with Brad Ottens, so maybe he impressed in his work with Ottens and got the nod accordingly...
Even the now player we have brought has plenty of life left on the tread.
No 30 something Josh Jenkins.
And the way we have loaded up picks for next year, we may go again.
