Nah, I'm standing by the comment.

It'll probably be heppell but apparently he's a very hard trainer and sets a great example on field with his defensive efforts.

I reckon we could do worse.

Geez it would have been nice to have a couple more picks in that 2013 draft. In a few years that will be right up there with the best of all time.

Can't complain with what we got though... 2 absolute beauty's!!!

Has gone past Cripps and now only Bonts is better from the draft we got sanctioned in. What a find this kid turned out to be!
I watched Merrett live yesterday for the first time. What an absolute star. So composed under pressure, wins the footy and uses it beautifully. Merett is now on Bontempelli's level as the two best players from the draft. You can make a case for both players now as the best players. That's how highly I rate Merett.

The only other one in the same conversation would be Cripps.

I was the same and it had a lot to do with my opinion of Jackson.
