At this late stage it would seem very unlikely that Cockatoo is going to be a Tiger.

I reckon we should take the punt if he's there for our 2nd pick

He just did it against AFL opposition.

Star.
Jumping the gun a bit there. Certainly has the tools to become one though.

Richard Tambling kicked a very similar goal against Collingwood in his first ever NAB game too!!!

yeh, I fail to see the fascination people have with players that were taken before our pick and therefore not available.

I am waiting for threads on Brayshaw, Petracca etc etc.

He wasn't available at our picks people, we need to get over it and move on.

Easy people.

I'm sure the kid has talent but I also remember Stuart Edwards kicking a few on Chris Langford in a preseason game.

Thankfully he was chosen before our pick otherwise the gnashing of teeth would have started in earnest.

Cockatoo has all the attributes.
Will be a star.
Enjoy it people, we couldn't have had him anyway.

Not Blaming the club for not selecting him as he was - GONE

But there were a hell of alot of people talking a hell of alot of Manure about this kids ability and how he never did it against the better TAC cup players etc

Might just leave the Sig for a while but looking like it could be MMMenadueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Richie Tambling was pretty good in his first NAB game as well. Doesn't bode well for Knacker Ya.

Even when Edwards kick goals he looked like a complete hack. Nakia is the real deal.

for what i,ve seen of ellis, looks a potential special player with his thread the needle disposal, and all this with sweet fa preseason.
