any chance pickett will slide?

Who would you take between Cockie, Garlett, Duggan?
Duggan, Cockie, Garlett for me.
Adam Cockie is a good VFL player at best.

I assumed by Cockie he meant Cockatoo. Cockie just won his 2nd best and fairest for Sandringham so could be worth a look as a rookie, but I wouldn't do any higher than that. Reckon he'd be nearly as good as Thomas with more upside

Yes, but riddle me this, is there another Newman? Surely the club would be all over this.

edit - maybe we've got him hiding away in the Swan Hill Veterans?

cockles >garlett agreed.

But Smokey / YBB I'd be interested in your opinions as to why you rate Duggan. Is it his outside run and carry?

Hoping form Pickett but not followed the draft closely for some time.

I had assumed we'd be past the stage by relying heavily on 17/18 year olds by this stage

Good question Dooks. I can only think of one word, composure.

Fair call. I have a minor doubt as to his size and whether we need another 180odd cm player but I guess if the kid can play then he can play.

you blokes have it wrong. the real interest has to be in who the stack of  recycled hacks that we take in the nd and rookie draft will be. cmon people are considering this possibility surely, that is  given their record.

I think he will fit our game plan best, providing run and carry with good long left foot kicks from the back flank or midfield.  He's quick enough, has good judgement and tackles well.  Not much difference in him or Cockatoo but his form is against Div 1 opposition so it rates a tad better.  Would be happy with Cockatoo but happier with Duggan.
