Agree, played really well in the VFL just to add to his AA selection. 75% efficiency which is what you want from rebounder.

Don't think we'll get the numbers to be honest, but if you want to use a 5th & 6th round selection then fire away.
There are still a couple I'd be happy to take here. In the real world, this pick would be dependent on interviews and the big city/cold climate adjustment factors, but in the fantasy world we have no such issues. This kid has a heap of talent, pace and goal sense. He only played his first game of organised footy at 17 and duly won the NTFL rising star award. After a second year in the NTFL, this year he joined the NT Thunder and won the NEAFL rising star award with 32 goals from 11 games. He also represented the Allies at the under-18 champs as an overager. He steps up to every level he's exposed to and we at Carlton are hopeful he joins Sam Petrevski-Seton and Jarrod Pickett as the third arm of the Three Amigos Part II (get your own collective nicknames, Richmond!).
Pick 73 - Adam Sambono.
Pick 73 - Adam Sambono.
Pick 75. Hawthorn
Mitch Crowden
With smalls being the flavour of the month I think the 170-175cm players have a reasonable shot at getting drafted - provided they possess speed, agility, a good tank & decent disposal. I'm still unsure how Crowden will be viewed by those calling the shots, he didn't make the cut for the national combine, but when I look at his state testing it's very clear he ticks all the boxes above. First of all he's quick, his 2.92sec/20 metre makes him one of the fastest players in the pool. Also having registered 8.26 seconds in the agility test he's comfortably entrenched at the top end of the pool. The tank is good & quite surprisingly he can jump despite his bulky frame. Measuring 175cm he's also the same height as Charlie Spargo so if we're comparing apples with apples he should be in the conversation as a late/rookie pick. As for his game, his left foot reminds me a lot of Daniel Rich, something which has been used to great effect at senior level. At the end of the day if a club is keen on adopting the Richmond premiership template they should be giving serious consideration to Crowden.

Brisbane lured Jack Paine up here from Collingwood but he wasn’t up to it.
GCS hope for better luck in drafting Jack Payne, a 195cm kpd. Brisbane Lions: Jack Payne — A tall yet quick defender who isn’t afraid to provide his team with drive, averaging 116.2 ranking points.

Sorry down on the farm. I think my picks are done. Didn't Adelaide upgrade a rookie with this pick or something? If not, I delegate to you bully
