Last pick

Its funny I was speaking to his grandma the other day and he hoped to get to us even though he doesn't follow us. If anyone is east Bentleigh people you will know his dad and his mothers side, the cathcarts.

He is our future small forward.
At 174cm he can't play in many other positions.
He will be roving to McCartin

Mainly chicken

Thats rubbish. Hes a pork boy, you know its true

[HitTheBoundary]

Very happy about this.

His video highlights on the afl draftmachine show him winning the ball and either kicking a goal or hitting McCartin on the chest.

On SEN today the champion data people said he would be one of the steals of the draft. Has pace and elite kick, and x factor.

[SuperDuper]

As a player.. I think he likes blondes over brunettes

Not a fan of this at all - IMO the 1 position small forward (Milne role) is too 1 dimensional. If he can't go midfield what's the point??

Don't get it at all - Petracca plays mid AND kicks goals resting forward (think what Ablett adds for Suns doing this).

[Solar]

will be interesting to see if they can develop a mid/half forward role for him, even if it's just 30% of game time. Champion data suggests he has the skills and agility to go top 20. Not a bust at pick 41 but could be very good replacement for Schneider.

[Wrote for Luck]

may mean we don't require Saad.
the video of this guy looks like a nifty smart player who looks to create and use his accurate left foot.
on the radio they said he is an in your face type. we could develop a rather hostile forward line.

[Old Mate]

He's not just a 'small forward' he's a forward 50 distributor, the type of guy you want kicking it inside 50 - Similar to Schnieder. Skills are exquisite and had very good chemistry with McCartin for Country. Also won the award for Vic Countries best player throughout the championships. Good get, Saints.

And did this ever matter with milne? If your a good enough small forward you don't need to be able to play anywhere else..

[stinger]

beautiful left foot kick good pickup..with size being his only drawback....knows hiw to kick a goal..worked xtensively with milne a couple of years ago.....

[Megamaguire]

Welcome to St. Kilda Jack.
We're ready for some fwd zone excitement .
All the best with pre-season and the rest of 2015.

GO SAINTS!

[saintbrat]

Milney worked with him at the Stingrays..

Oh so true, didn't matter with Tony Lockett - how many as good as him you seen since???

[noob]

I know It's only highlights that I saw but jeez he has great game sense, and a very lovely kick of the football. Something that St.Kilda lack a lot.

[cwrcyn]

Adam Schneider is 175cm. There have been a few drafted lately who have been 177cm. Does one inch make all that difference when we're talking about a small forward?

Lewis Taylor, the young gun from Brisbane is 173cm. Didn't stop him from being a star in his first season, and he did a lot of his work in the midfield.

[saintbrat]

Jack went straight to work


might need a uniform

[Munga]

haha awesome, I think he's from around Seaford way

I didn't follow the draft that closely but I don't think Petracca was available at 41.
