When you have a top 3 selection you are almost obliged to follow the media, so Melbourne could not really go outside popular perception (although did not help with Watts and Morton) as they would have been crucified had they chosen anyone other than Brayshaw (who Roos was in love with) and Petracca who will both be good players. I wont be surprised if De Goey ends up better than Brayshaw and Cockatoo or someone else ends up the best of the lot. The top 20 of this draft was very even so will come down to development but I think we have two potential 200 gamers in De Goey and Moore who both also possess excellent leadership skills.

That mark was seriously awesome! Climbed, got the sit, elevated and clunked it before riding down like he was on an escalator to land on his feet in one fluid motion. Unreal.
30 seconds in.

Disappointed with the mark. He had to throw himself forward and almost knock himself out. No point taking a screamer and landing on your feet. For show anyway, for football reasons I guess it's okay.
Serious or not, I'd normally agree, but that mark was pure class.

You just have to love this kid already, knows what he is going to develop into, and wants to get there quick.
Thanks Bear Lions.

That's a really interesting point. As a kid, the most spectacular marks (real or imagined) were always the ones which ended on the ground, a tangle of arms and legs. Maybe it's because it creates the appearance of someone who's just been dropped from the heavens, ball in hand, truly majestic.
Having said that, love that JDG is flying for the skies, and showing another component to his already impressive game.

He is a very exciting prospect. In his first season against men and he comes out and dominates every week.
I think it will be very hard to keep him out of the seniors this week. He's knocking the door down.

This kid will be an A grader, no doubt in my mind, very level head on his shoulders and just oozes class, also has a fierce determination to succeed.
The thing i like is he can do some serious damage, some players are accumulators, they get you your 30 touches but are really just links in a chain, which there is noting wrong with btw but this bloke just screams class, give him a sustained run at it and look out.

Going to be a star. Such a ripper attitude on a kid who can clearly play. You could say he's just towing the company line saying he'd like to get selected but if not, he'll come back and play his role in the VFL but he just means it. You get the feeling, ala Pendles that he will never let you down with effort.

Players in the 70s were hilarious the way they went to ground and did several rolling turns on the grass to try and emphasise how epic their marks were. If you Youtube you can probably get an idea. Peter Knights was a serial offender but by no means alone.
I liked the Darren Millane no nonsense style of the 90s, stand on a blokes head, take the grab then step down from him and just keep running. Hoping the Goo can adopt this model. No lairising or Hollywood behaviour - that's more of a Geelong or Melbourne thing. We don't need that sh1t at Collingwood.
Reminded me of the elliott mark against port, instead his was against 3 opponents. Got a lovely ride, and gently came down on his feet. Poetry in motion

Deserves a call up on form. Having said that for some people (Id don't know De Goey's personality) its better to dominate for a fair amount of time before jumping up a division and maybe not getting much of the ball which deflates your confidence. Reid spent a whole year playing well in defence before he came in.

I was standing outside the huddle at 3 quarter time against the Dogs a couple of weeks ago.
Tarkyn was talking to all the midfielders and what I remember is De Goey giving his input like a veteran of our club.
Besides being BOG that day just the confidence to speak up so early in his career is an indication of his ability and character.
It also helps when you back it up when the game needs to be won.
Kid has unlimited potential. Must play this week for me......his time in the VFL is done!

Thank the invisible person you pray to that he wasn't pick one!

I must have been standing next you as well. The one thing that stood out for me was how big he is, can only imagine him in 3 years time!
