Brayshaw, and be happy about it. Best available.So say we end up with pick 6... And then Petracca, Wright, McCartin, Lever, and Durdin are taken first 5. Who do we take then??? Nightmare scenario (if draft today)!
Give up one of:How can we get both Wright and Lever, god id be rating our team higher than the expansion clubs if we pulled that off (ok maybe close).
Probably helps that they get athletic scholarships and the amount of money thrown at these schools is ridiculous. High School and College sports is pretty massive in America.
And isn't he 22 years old?
He's up against 17/18 year olds at the combine.

BS it's related to school funding...that's god given athletic talent. now amount of money teaches 19 year old andrew wiggins (203cm, 91kg) to jump a 44in (that's 111cm!!!) vertical.
he can thank his parents - muscle fibre type, joint structure, bony alignment. the coordination to optimise it all.

If McKenzie scored a sub 3 seconds thats actually pretty huge, being slow has probably been the biggest flaw in his game from what I read about him. Other than that he's huge, agile, one of the best contested grabs in the draft, new to the game and can kick a bag? Yes please.Wasn't Mckenzie supposed to be unathletic?? 7th in the vertical jump and a sub 3second 20m sprint time?? Hmmmmm.
Sam Power anyone?Lighten up.
The issue is that, almost without exception, we have always taken the player who is the lesser bother - and he is nowhere near his brother's level.
It's our curse, dammit.
notice how Jarrod Garlett got 2nd? and Nakia Cockatoo is on bothIf McKenzie scored a sub 3 seconds thats actually pretty huge, being slow has probably been the biggest flaw in his game from what I read about him.

Pretty sure he said Power, I thinkSam Power anyone?
Ah, thanks for that.One is Daniel, one is Reece
Its all good, I blame TwoomeyAh, thanks for that.
Scott BassettSam Power anyone?
Tall men do well in straight lines. Usain Bolt is 195cm tall.Man, these African-Americans and their crazy genes. How does a ruckman sized guy run those times?
Yeah would love one of those two. Probably Cockatoo because of the height advantage which fits in with our squad more. Oh and the name of coursenotice how Jarrod Garlett got 2nd? and Nakia Cockatoo is on both
The man Hammelmann is there to, not sure if Brisbane will take him yet
Pretty sure he said Power, I think
Brayshaw/Goddard/Weller/Duggan/Pickett? can't not be happy with one of those
even if we'd prefer Lever or one of the 'big 4'
Are we assuming Laverde will be goneYeah would love one of those two. Probably Cockatoo because of the height advantage which fits in with our squad more. Oh and the name of course
