Yeah imagine that. Just 1 out of the 3 though playing at Stewart's level is already a massive win.and an interesting thing a VFL coach I know said to me draft night.. Stewart is a Gun, and then when House was drafted "and this bloke is even better"
may not work out that way, but he is young enough to still have an impact... imagine if we nailed 2 picks like that
Fast becoming one of my favourites with his 1970's look about him. He is deceptively fast, cool in the crisis and a good decision maker. Arguably the best mature aged recruit in the competition since Barlow at Freo

Yep, unbelievable pickup, actually plays a little like Scarlett as well.
Also has speed and likes to take on the slower power forwards, with run and carry.

They do exist, I mean Nick Newman for Swans was from the state league, same with Mitch Hibberd and Mark Baguely, also Harry Taylor... They do exist, and in most cases its defenders that are easier to find in the state leagues...We got canned last year for trading Caddy and then drafting VFL players. Stewart this draft and Menegola in the previous draft show that the state leagues have players who can still play 7-10 years of senior footy and be excellent players.
and foot skills......top drawer foot skills......I don't get the benefit of seeing many VFL games so I didnt really know what to expect from Stewart. I certainly didnt expect a player of this quality....
Expect to see him a fixture for years to come.
I don't think it was Stewart or Menegola who raised eyebrows they have been great pickups but Abbot and House area bit more of a stretch. Mature aged recruits need to impact sooner and Stewart has exceeded expectations already.We got canned last year for trading Caddy and then drafting VFL players.

In fairness to both Abbott and House, both had major injuries and surgery early on and it has really put them behind in fitness, development and ability to show their wares (House shoulder reco and Abbott leg fracture)I don't think it was Stewart or Menegola who raised eyebrows they have been great pickups but Abbot and House area bit more of a stretch.

House showed last year he has some talent haven't seen anything to show Abbott was worth it though.In fairness to both Abbott and House, both had major injuries and surgery early on and it has really put them behind in fitness, development and ability to show their wares (House shoulder reco and Abbott leg fracture)
Id be waiting for a bit longer for their impact assessment IMO
