One of the more experienced talls is key defender Cody Raak, with the Vic Metro hub member having a “seamless” pre-season. For the Jets’ other hub member, Eddie Ford, it has no been as seamless, with a few injuries over the summer but is on track to still have an impact early in the season.

“I think both Eddie and Cody possess qualities that clearly make them capable players at Victorian Metro level. They’re well and truly deserved of being in those programs,” Williams said. “They’re both driven individuals who are keen to get the best out of themselves so they’re tracking well. “Obviously Eddie hyperextended his knee last week and he’s had a few ankle injuries over the summer which has affected his preseason but he’s a natural footballer and I’m sure he will adapt to the games once they start. Cody’s pre-season has been seamless really. “He’s improved some of his athletic components that he has to improve and he’s a natural footballer as well so once the games start you’ll see the best of him.”

In terms of positioning, Ford’s goal will be to move from being a high-flying forward into a consistent midfielder, something Williams said injury-permitting will happen. It might be a few rounds before he works his way into the onball group, coming back from injury. However Raak will be placed in his familiar key post in the back 50, but has the capability of going forward and taking some strong marks down there.

“It’s a goal of Eddie’s to go through the midfield,” Williams said. “We intend to support him with that. “He’s had an interrupted pre-season as I mentioned so we’re going to have to build into that midfield time. “He will start off in the forward line but eventually will see some midfield time. “Cody while being very comfortable and valuable to us down back, he does have the ability to play forward, he has in the past, and he might get some time forward, but ultimately he will hold down that key position defender role for us to think.”

He's being referred to as a tall and a key defender, which is great for us.

Probably think they are a fair chance to snag him seeing we will most likely not have points after getting the #1 pick with 20% discount

That's a pretty big call. I've seen several top 30 lists that have left him out, even a list of over 100 draftable prospects that left him out. Rendell is the first non-bulldog draft watcher I have seen that has even mentioned Cody.

We'll be fine. If we need to trade in a 2021 pick we can, but I imagine Jamarra will go 2-3 and we'll cover that with our first pick and Adelaide's third, and we can get Raak with our third rounder and whatever currency we have left from Adelaide's third.

Praying every night that marra gets the green treatment and slips a few places. 6-10 would ease the pressure greatly

I doubt a club would use pick #1 on him even if he's the best prospect. That would basically be telling the #2 pick you weren't our first choice and it would also give us extra marketing power with the #1 pick.

Swear I saw someone mention he was looking taller recently. Hopefully can hit closer to 196cm+ by draft time

Report above says 194cm but one of the draft experts on the draft board is suspicious that’s right. Says he was 191 at pre season testing.
 
He’s got an October birthday. So you’d think there’s some cms left in him.

Does anyone have any vision? I remember seeing some vision of him a while back. And he looked to have a nice kick on him.
