It’s a technicality, but we actually used the Crouch pick on Sam Berry (it was second round compo, so after our second round pick). Either way, I’m very happy with both of these selections. Thought they were our two strongest two selections of the draft considering everything else that was available at each pick.

well, we need to watch Berry closely over his career and contrast him to Hollands - whom we were a good chance to pick at pick 2 (3)..if we had band 1 compo for crouch in lieu of band 3 :cool:

This for no other reason as to see what could have been and what is and if berry has a ripper career than it softens the blow of settling for band 3

Has anyone seen this kid play much? The highlights don’t show a lot, a couple of good bursts but the rest mainly goal square goals.

There’s obviously a lot more to him given the wraps.

I would hope our recruiters wouldn't get sucked in by the joe the goose goals when rating his talent. Recruiting guys with flash and no substance is more of an Essendon thing.

I've seen all of his Panthers games on live stream....overhead marking is his standout attribute...I think he'll eventually play wing personally.

I'm thinking wing as well. He has good endurance, good speed, good skills and has the bonus overhead marking ability. Could be a really special player.

I get a Steve Johnson vibe when seeing his footages. Seems to have the smarts and a good goal sense. Looks very capable as a forward.

Quite a few nice snaps in that footage for sure. Footy is weird though. He might not even play as a forward in the AFL. I'd be interested to know if the club has mentioned where they intend to play him.

Yup. Its wierd, as the game optimizes heavily in the step from U18s to AFL and Cook is plying his trade in the toughest position on the football field.

It's strange to say, but the biggest thing in Cooks favour as a forward is really his height. 189 cm who is capable overhead does avenues to get involved in the game and really you need every avenue possible to be able to do so.

No pressure Cooky, but Peds has set the bar at three goals for debut matches

Kinda funny the difference between the draftees. Some are drafted these days looking like elite athletes ready to go, some look skinny af and some look like Brayden Cook, he just looks like a fan.

Looks to be a gun. Was interested in him since he kicked the 5 goals in a last qtr last year to win the game for South.

Got some tricks in his bag but we'll need to be patient, he's not built like the other bulls we drafted (Rowe aside).

Was just thinking that, in that photo he looks like a 15 year old kid who's just won a free Crows jumper from Claude the Crow...
 
Brayden Cook...the connector 2.0.

Cook looks raw, imagine he's going to take a few years to develop, but I did see a photo of him recently, he has some solid wheels on him.

TT tick
Pedlar tick
Cook ???
Berry tick

Looking like a decent draft haul if this kid works out and that's not including the rookie gems we have Newchurch, brolase, Murray.

All jokes aside, I think you are right - we have looked so far to have really done well at the last draft. Look at last years draft too - McAsey aside, Shoenberg looks a super get, Worrell looks a great prospect - just needs a chance and I am thinking that one or both of Oconnor or Gollant will end up doing ok to. There is a good spread of quality youth from the last 2 drafts
