He sounds alrite...
I'm sure he will be great, just can't get over the fact that Talia, Kersten, Grigg and Markworth were still available. >:(

I refuse to get angry over the draft, because we stole Heppell. In 3 years that will change.

Kavanagh and Heppell. Fair to say I am stoked.

Am very happy with Nick O'Brien at 59?
Great steal IMO.

Draft has surprised the hell out of me.

Fremantle have set the club back another 5 years today with their poor drafting

Kavanagh went to my school 8)

I think Essendons picks were good but they could have gotten better players.

There are still few things I'm still trying to get over. Haven't followed this draft properly so may get a few things wrong but...

So many people slipped...Most notably (IMO) Kersten, Talia and Grigg :o

I do like the drafting we've done though.

I like Jackson Merrett. Has some leg-speed and a nice kick, perhaps he can fill the hole that's been in the Dons' midfield since Andy Lovett...Was a bad boy :P

Youtube Video Contested Footy Profile.

Played with the Falcons this year but from my understanding he only trained once a week but still managed to average 20+ touches.
So with a bit of time spent bulking up and a more intense training routine this kid could become a real weapon 8)

Nick O'Brien is a freakin' steal. From what I've read/seen so far, comparisons to Cameron Ling, big motor, nice mark and good leadership qualities. A lot to work with there 8)

As for Black Kavanagh...Pleased...Just hope his body holds up :-X

3 midfielders though. FLOWER YEAH >:D

Dawson was not available, he has only nominated for the PSD.

Back on topic: good draft by the Bombers
