Re: Live draft thread
Not another White guy can't we pick a Black guy.
Guys named Black are invariably better.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

We picked that quickly that I doubt we wanted him.

We might get White Rice.

Promisingly, matho and tucker both have go-home factor. Plus they are both saints fans so we hopefully have dibs

Re: Live draft thread
I'm not......apparently a FIGJAM and we don't need that. Tested badly at draft camp as well which is why he is a slider most probably.... welcome Brandon Whitejoeyjohnw wrote:Still disappointed we didn't get Mathieson

110% certain our next and last pick will be RICE.

Re: Live draft thread
Brandon White (13/01/1997. 188cm, 77kg. Dandenong Stingrays)
Medium defender/midfielder/forward
AFL biography: Well rounded medium midfielder/defender with excellent closing speed. He makes very good decisions and distributes the ball well on his preferred foot. Quality mark overhead for a player of his size. Averaged 15.3 disposals (72 percent efficiency) and 2.2 tackles for the Stingrays this year and impressed in three games for Vic Country in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.
"I've always liked Brandon. He probably could have played more games for us as a 17 year old, but he went back and played some senior footy which I think has helped him. He's very aggressive and a very good third defender. Once he's had a bit of time in the system I think he'll be a pure utility, that old model utility that can play in all three zones. He has elite speed and poor endurance so he'll need a couple of years, but he'll end up being the smokey in this draft. In two or three years everyone will be saying, how did he slip so low? He's well disciplined, and he's tough as nails. He's that genuine run-through-a-brick-wall type of player that all coaches love. And he's a second cousin of Justin Leppitsch, so he's been able to get some good advice and have some good conversations with him about his footy."
