Difference maker.  Seriously though we must have rated him at some stage in his draft year.

Reckon Ugle-Hagan will be very handy for GC.

Assuming pulls the finger out

Do we actually think Grlj is up to AFL standards I've seen him play in the VFL the GC alot off kicks were in the back half and pretty basic ones to me just a thought i still think he is a risk specially at that high pick...
Robey has come along way his main games were this year against two average teams calder and jets but his GF was good and did get dropped earlier in the year from them to only come back in later in the year so he could be another risk taht high

And Sharp could be too slow for AFL…

They are ALL at risk of being a bust.

I’d be happy if the picked him up, if you get a genuine mobile  ruck or plays like a ruck rover it’s something we haven’t really had. Our rucks have been able to compete at the bounce but no good on the ground or visa versa , CDT does both and plays forward .
Also for a ruck to show so much early is a winner , the often take years to develop.
