Welcome, Citizen.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Extremely happy with this. He might be that "Big bodied mid" we've been waiting a decade for. Good luck!

 

[Atavistic]

The skilful big-bodied mid we need.

 

[jmoo wan]

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

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Is this... what happiness feels like?

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Actually pinching myself that he reached out pick. Welcome to Essendon Sully!

 

[thepokey]

Can't believe he slipped to us! Richmond may have done us a real solid here

 

[Espe]

Is this... what happiness feels like?

I think this is what hope feels like.

 

[gillon]

Roller coaster experience following his draft journey.

Breaks out with a huge game to come into first round considerations, then all of a sudden he may have bolted too far. I think most expected him to go to Richmond despite most of this board falling in love with him.

In terms of physical attributes and skill set, he ticks all the boxes. Very excited.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

A big bustling forward/mid.

Hopefully he can be our own superstar like Dusty, Petracca or Degoey

 

[DapperDon]

Official claim of "My Boy"

 

[brownezaka]

I’d like to officially put in a request to change my name to Farrobey

 

[naraku]

He and Dyson must be stoked to be picked up by their childhood club

 

[King Patty]

Welcome Sullivan, so glad Tigers let you slip through.

 

[JDavey]

Still can't believe he fell to us. This is the most excited I've been about a pick of ours.

 

[Clark G]

On the AFL site draft coverage he was described as a big bodied mid, but the phantom draft by Twomey has him as a forward. Anyone know if he is more one than the other?
