List Mgmt. 2024 Father Son watch MKIII. Operation Ashcroft jnr. Featuring various academy boys.

[Jivlain]

 

[M Malice]

Got very good pace and agility for a big man, intercept marking key defender....196cm, 89kg.

 

[Nathan Barley]

So Reville tomorrow to top up our small forwards?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

YAY IT'S ZZ TOP TIME!

Genuinely didn't expect it but I love how strong an athlete he is. Might take 4-5 years for him to show his potential though.

 

[Sproj]

So I guess he will be called Zak...which will be confusing with Zac.

 

[the rookie]

Woo-hoo! Great get at 51.

 

[Section 5]

from Rookie Me central

 

[JasRulz63]

196cm and top 10 in 20m sprint, agility, standing & vertical jump at combine.

Unicorn?

 

[SizeMatters]

Wonder if the club will see Zak as a tall mid? Prob not.

 

[Dalions]

Definitely gone tall.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Swans pinch another key back from us in Snell

 

[Nathan Barley]

Wonder if the club will see Zak as a tall mid? Prob not.

Why would they?

 

[LionKing]

Welcome Zakers

 

[the rookie]

Wonder if the club will see Zak as a tall mid? Prob not.

Nah. His disposal skills are not great.

 

[blueiris]

I can't believe we got ZZ in the 50s what an absolute bargain

 

[Squizz89]

Said the other day I didn’t mind the club taking the risk this draft on a couple of talls, so hopefully at least one comes on.

Slight concern I do have is with drafting the 3 taller players, plus only Doedee (injured anyway) and Ryan bought in during the trade period, we could get a bit thin in the middle (and/or smaller players) if we strike a couple of injuries, especially with Will missing half the year.

 

[Berrygood]

I am very confident we will be selecting Freijah today, either with our first pick, or our second.

I wish you were right. I think we missed an opportunity there.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

So I guess he will be called Zak...which will be confusing with Zac.

Too boring when you have ZZ Top or Double Zed as nicknames.

 

[SizeMatters]

Why would they?

I think the better question would be. Why not?

The kid has barely played footy. Untapped potential to be a unicorn. Could be one of the games best utilities.

 

[lionshine]

Late convert to footy from basketball? Tick. Late December birthday? Tick. Tall? Tick. Insane athleticism? Tick.

We just got the best player in the draft

 

[lionshine]

Zakostelsky is going to be the most exciting and most frustrating player to watch simultaneously since Jared Brennan

We have Marshall and Levi next season for mids and Answerth and Tunstall as back ups if needed we're a club that can use KPP depth in the VFL and letting them develop

 

[M Malice]

I wonder... going with 2 3rd tall forward types in Morris and Lloyd if that puts any pressure on Cam Rayner or maybe we're hoping Cam does a lot more time through the midfield in 2024.

 

[Warwick]

Thanks for taking a couple of hours of your time to tell us how stupid the draft is

What?

 

[SizeMatters]

I think Zak will win a brownlow one day.

 

[lionshine]

If someone told me today we’d walk away from tonight’s draft with Logan Morris and Zane Zakostelsky I would have been happy with that. To get Luke Lloyd as well is a nice bonus.

It is good to add some taller players after focussing on mids/flankers at the draft in recent years.
