[monty1104]

#77 Geelong – Sean Gregory (VIC – KPD)
Height: 195cm, Weight: 72kg, DOB: 20/01/1994
Recruited from: Calder Cannons
Style:
Player comparison:
Range: 40-rookie
Profile: Very quick tall defender with some really impressive closing speed. Has the ability to play on talls or smalls and shut them down to a high level. Has a very slight frame and will need to spend significant time in the gym before he is AFL ready but is an interesting project with his athleticism.

PASS!

 

[Loonerty]

Passed on pick 101... PSD?

 

[Phone]

boy we're really making fields earn this spot

 

[monty1104]

No Pongracic, Garlett or Colquhoun picked. Interesting...

 

[The Dustbin]

atkins to adelaide, well done essendon recruiters.

Seriously, shut up.

 

[Kick the thing]

Sean Gregory

Will be Dustin Fletcher's replacement in 2 years. Don't worry he'll be okay.

 

[Phone]

it's like all these clubs don't even want Garlett

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

Serves me right for only looking at the Essendon board in regards to this draft, now i have no idea who the fk these guys are. I'm sure they're decent picks, our recruiters have gone fairly well in the last half decade.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Pongracic reminds me a lot of Matthew Panos from a few years ago. A lot thought he was a sure thing to get drafted, had a lot of talent, etc. Slide all the way to the Bulldogs' rookie list and was delisted 2 years later.

Some of you posters are plain and simple, ******* idiots. Instead of cracking the shits because we didn't draft who you wanted, get behind the recruiters and the new recruits and give them a chance to perform. Who knows, one of these players (apart from Joe) may just turn out to be a future star, ffs

 

[brendan84]

We passed on those guys that bigfooty said were good. F*ck youuu recruiters!

^... Max Fletcher????

I take it you know a bit about him KTT, all i've heard is he's quick as a cat and can play tall or small?

Spot on.

 

[Zach Package]

it actually makes quite a bit of sense when you actually think about it. we've cut mcveigh, slattery, ross. and now we've replaced them with baugley, ashby and gleeson.
I've seen bits and pieces of Van Unen and it's not the worst selection in the world, and i think gregory is value at 88.
I would've liked another pure midfielder, but we still have one more slot to fill...

 

[The Donners]

I didn't care who they recruited. What they recruited, that's a different story. Not a player amongst them that will have any impact for at least 3-4 years - with the exception of Daniher. Our 3 best midfielders will be about 30 by that time and they'll have a very limited window. Please someone tell me I've got it extremely wrong and reasons why - to bring me comfort! Go Dons!

Hird expects Van Unen to play over the next 2 years, so I'd assume he was drafted to fill a specific role.

Van Unen and Kommer are both 20...They could definitely have an impact before daniher
