Pick 27

[one-eyed]

Based on history, we shouldn't get our hopes up too much with pick 27  .

Barely a handful have made a long career out of AFL footy. We can say we've had two of those that made it with Benny Gale [1987 draft] and Kane Johnson [traded to us].

In comparing all of their abilities, Ted Richards is clearly the pick of that lot as he has played in a premiership.

Was it just one or multiple premierships?

Multiple, that makes him two times better than the rest?

Begley & Cox out of those four for me....Rotham & Ridley are defenders but they both just look like  potential Batchelors to me....so no doubt FJ will be trying to talk Williams & Clarke into giving one of them the first rose...

[Eat_em_Alive]

So we're getting a jet 

[Diocletian]

Yes - another Western Jet hot on the heels of C.Ellis, Menadue & Post...

[MintOnLamb]

Begley looks good, solid boy as well

Don't we need someone with a surname beginning with Mc. We've lost a few lately.
