AFL Player 2: Jacob Farrow - 187cm half-back, Welcome to Essendon!

Its speculative whether he can make it as a mid but I think even as a backmen he fills a huge list hole for us (i guess when your list is in as bad a state as us almost any top 10 pick fills a required need )

Farrow Arrow?

Confused about this pick. Don’t see it in the footage..:

X Taylor would have been my choice also but after his interviews last night fox and this morning on SEN I can see why they may have dodged him at our pick, it could be a good chance that his meeting with the club recruiters early this week may have not have gone to plan?

I like blokes that are a bit loose and have a bit of you know what in them but with the scrutiny on players these days I wouldn't be surprised if he gets told to pull his head in at the Dees.

I think it’s better as Ima Farrow

It's a great pick and compliments the other 2 really nicely.

Yes, there is an element of risk with these more skinny and wiry types, but we've mitigated that nicely with Sharp who is pretty bankable.

Nice size and long arms means he has scope to be a really nice back half piece if he settles there but we would be eyeing him as a midfielder that can provide really nice balance in being able to hold his own in the contest and also be a run your distance and kick long type player.

Saw someone mention Grant Birchall as a physical and attribute comparison and that feels pretty on point.

(remove Duursma)

Best performed midfielder (Sharp)
Best kicking defender (Farrow)
Highest upside forward (Robey)

Dare I say it, he's a very Hawthorn player.

Pre draft, who from our list would we want at the end of a handball chain? Merrett and Martin are the only two absolutes I can think of. Maybe Duzz and Redman? Roberts?

I think Farrow will be exactly that

Farrow will be wearing #2

Farrow will be wearing #2

Will Sharp be in No. 12?

Will Sharp be in No. 12?

Farrow was given a choice between 2 and 15 and I’m assuming draftees got a choice based on their position so Robey likely chose 9, Fiorini has 8. Maybe keeping Setterfield in 12 just in case we get an SPP spot before the season starts like we did with Baldwin. Assuming Sharp will also get a choice of number with 15 and 17 being pretty close to his 16 he had for CD.

This needs more Zak Johnson.

Farrow will be wearing #2

Been a while since a non ruck wore number 2. I don’t mind it.

Hopefully he’s as quality as the bloke who wore #2 about 25 years ago

Long left footer, hopefully channels some Ricky Dyson vibes on Anzac Day 2009
