Great kick. We need more of that

The classy Farrow will be kicking darts of half back.

I've just watched a highlights video and I can say confidently he's an elite kick and I've always rated him.

2/2 Old Campaigner

anyone can nail the early picks, let’s see if he can keep this form up deeper into the draft

 

[jmoo wan]

nice! i actually rated him a lot higher - stoked he slid down

 

[ghostdog]

Welcome, my king.

Watching noobermensch highlight package sold me on him. While I wanted Taylor more, I rate Farrow very highly. Has a bit of X-factor about him!

It was all about trying to finesse the draft to get both Farrow and Sharp.

Rosa has played a blinder here.

After hearing X interview, I think taking the football nerd over taking the party lad was the right move. They were close enough in ability for me where character / personality is a differentiator.

 

[naraku]

Good pick up.

Considering Dawks where linked do Jacob and Grlj and got neither is the cherry on top

Can't believe those clowns in congress did it again, what a bunch of clowns.

 

[Bipolar Bear]

Was pretty pissed at the lack of X. Taylor, but I think we knew we'd get Sharp after Melbourne's pick if we got Farrow.
Here's hoping he ends up a ripper.

 

[Old Campaigner]

I think he's an excellent pickup, having a quick-ish 188cm midfielder who is a good kick and strong overhead will be great once he's ready to make the move from defense

Haha I have this fear of ****ing this type of player up developmentally.

The best case is a Will Day, Jordan Dawson or Hayden Young type.

He's a nice kick

 

[King Patty]

good to add size and kicking and halfback who could play midfield in the future.

I see him as similar to the Demons [PLAYERCARD]Trent Rivers[/PLAYERCARD], will play first season or two at half back then could move into midfield if needed.

 

[Petrify]

Something to be said that he was the best player in WA.

The top WA player is rarely a miss. Being the best player in a footy state is a big tick.

Last 10 years of the first WA player who was picked:

Bo Allan (TBD)
Daniel Curtin
Reuben Ginbey
Jye Amiss
Logan McDonald
Liam Henry
[PLAYERCARD]Jordan Clark[/PLAYERCARD]
[PLAYERCARD]Aaron Naughton[/PLAYERCARD]
Sam Petroski-Seton (miss)
[PLAYERCARD]Callum Ah Chee[/PLAYERCARD]
