Are there actual highlights of Nakia Cockatoo or only that one clip because I feel I am missing something. If so can someone please re-post

It's been leaked that we are taking him at 11.

Should be a couple of good games to watch, Hawks v Cats are probley the stand out game(apart from ours), Swans V Essendon Reserves could be interesting, and I'd love to see the pies get smashed!

Pickett is very impressive. A one touch player, has a beautiful side step, good kick to a lead, great speed, likes to tackle, good mark.
Very impressive highlights reel.
Would take him at 11 in a heartbeat, sadly won't last - reminds me a lot of Yarran who went at 6.

So far Nakia Cockatoo is....

- The inside player we've been wanting for years
- The outside player we've been needing for years
- Adam Goodes, only better
- More electrifying then The Rock
- A member of Daft Punk
- The best player in the draft
- Our next captain

Someone better send the club an email so they don't blow pick 11 on somebody else.

Everyone seems to love a cockatoo or three !
FFS our team is the west coast eagles not the screaming eagles .
I wouldn't be spending our pick 11 on him . He could be a gun but could be the next tambling or JON !

Pickett for me. If we could get pickett this year and coniglio next year then 2016 is looking like a mighty shake of a premiership tree imo.

C: Pickett - Shuey - Gaff
R: Naitanui - Coniglio - Priddis
INT: S.Selwood - Sheed

Pretty Decent starting midfield

Reckon it's his last year?

 

[Patron]

I will be a sad panda if pickett goes to gws and Cockatoo goes to Cats, Could very well happen and if Ahern is gone too I'll shed a tear !!

That would almost certainly leave Laverde or Weller and if not, Durdin.

 

[dajesmac]

I reckon we won't take either of Pickett or Cockatoo regardless of availability.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

If we miss out on Pickett, I'd actually prefer Jarrod Garlett to Cockatoo for a "similar" player. Pretty good highlights and from more than just one match. http://www.afl.com.au/video/2014-09-10/jarrod-garlett-highlights

I do not think Priddis should have been dropped or traded before now, but if the new guys cant start to put pressure on an ageing Priddis's spot, then we have a problem. This isn't a criticism of Priddis, more a hope for where guys like Sheed and Yeo can get to.

 

[Keys]

Watched duggans highlights. Wouldn't be at all surprised if we were into him. Really nice kick off both feet. We could do worse

 

[mattyc75]

Get him to speed through a school zone or two.

with a bag of lollies

Impressive. Has flair & composure. A lot of blokes sell themselves in to trouble with their tricky moves but Garlett seems to remain focused, composed & always thinking. We need to go back in time and get 3 picks inside the top 30.

Teams don't just give away top 30 picks these days. West coast were able to do it in the past by giving away fringe players as they seemed to always rate the draft higher. Other teams have woken up to that now.

I wouldn't be overly disappointed of Garlett at 11 either. Seems a better prospect than brad hill at the same age, and he's doing ok.

That sounds like a Weedon-esque reach.

You could say that about pickett aswell oh and laverde,

 

[pantskyle]

You could say the same about Petracca...

However it's less likely that those you mentioned would be another JON.

Cockatoo is being ridiculously overrated on here.

I have watched Cockatoo in a game he played for thunder against the big river hawks, he's a freak was best on ground by a long way , My brother seems to think he's the nephew of che cockatoo collins ?

My point was every pick could turn out a bust, no point to just single out cockatoo just because of his injuries

Yeah but brad hill was an absolutely shithouse propsect.
