Having 3 draftees even considered for best 22 is remarkable I think.
I highly doubt more than two of them play round one though.
Looking around the league though almost every top ten pick has had minutes during the JLT series and most look in contention for their round one side. St Kilda also had two top ten picks and both were in the squad for last nights game.
They’d be a good 10+ mature agers around the league that look in contention for round one as well, probably more if you actually consider Banfield a mature ager. He just won his WAFL best and fairest too - is it really that different to giving early games to him than it was for Greg Broughton and Michael Barlow? I wouldn’t have thought so.
Anyway all three look more ready to impact than any freo first year player has in years. That doesn’t mean we’ll be shite it just means we’ve picked a few ready made players.
