Reminds me a lot of Marc Murphy which isn't a bad thing considering he was a no.1 draft pick.
Sure does look a lot like Marc Murphy and not only was he number 1 pick but he was also one of the best players in the AFL and in career best form in 2012 when he unfortunately got the shoulder injury that put him out for most of that year. I can see Gresham being that good!

Wasn't my no.1 hope, but was someone that I was perfectly happy to have if we did select him, as he brings a lot of the attributes that we are crying out for, doesn't seem to have any glaring weaknesses and seems to have good character and so-on, which is great. Seems like the type that you'd love to coach, so he's likely to be a very good chance to get the best out of himself and to have a very low bust-factor.

Also seems to have a lot of similar attributes to Joey, who I really rate, so he will hopefully be an ideal replacement for him when he retires in 5 years time and will get to learn off him in the meantime. :D :thumbsu:

Who was 5th on our list, out of curiosity?
Sorry mate, I only saw Gresham at 7, Ah Chee at 14, White at 15 (not 13/14 as I said in one post late last night when I was about to go to bed), and Matho nowhere. No more, no less. I didn't have time to see any other names than the ones I was looking for (Gresham, since w'ed just picked him; White because Finnis had just said we were about to; Matho because that's who I thought we'd get; and well, Ah Chee because it's an unusual name that was just above White!).

Honestly, man, it was Finnis just being nice to a Saints supporter, with a two second look at the list on his phone. You gotta remember, it was the minute before we were JUST about to name White, and so he was keen to enjoy the moment.

Weird, wonder if the Mathieson talk was just a smokescreen.

When I came up to Finnis and said, "Congrats, we're about to get Matho!", he immediately laughed and said, "Nup!", as if the idea never entered his head, as if he wouldn't even know who Mathieson was. To be honest, that doesn't mean much, because as CEO I doubt he knew much about the possible recruits beyond that list on his phone! :) But yeah, Rhys wasn't anywhere on his radar.

Thanks for sharing Perce

Much appreciated :thumbsu:

Thread not getting enough love.

Jade will be a star, I can't wait to see him with the ball moving out of centre rather than relying on an Armo or Dunstan to get and carry.
+1.
 
I wish I knew more about all these draftees, I find it amazing how some have such knowledge of so many players that you don't get to watch on a constant basis.

My cousin Marcus got picked up by the dogs, apart from him I really don't know who or what they would bring. I must say Weitering is damn impressive, he has that similar auora to Nick Riewoldt when he was drafted.

Don't know why and maybe it's just my rose coloured glasses but when I think of the opportunities he will get to play & ability to attract attention to his possessions, I wonder whether he might be a sneaky chance to win the NAB rising star in 2016.
Petracca is the current favourite with Darcy Moore second.
Maybe worth a cheeky crack.

Marcus Adams? Is he any good? They went hard at defenders. I don't know much about WA players.

I'd be amazed if he wasn't somewhere on the list, even if it was at 65 or so.
But yeah obviously not as early as i thought.
