I like him too - but when Roos was asked about him he had no idea who he was. Then when he was told he was 168cm, apparently he just laughed

that's interesting, you got a source for that Big Mac?

It was said at the Pie Night that was held 4 weeks ago. The post i'm referring to has been removed though  ??? All I could find was someone making a reference to the post

Some under 18 years still not have peaked in height with some slower than others to reach their height.  Could be he has a few centimetres to add yet.  For clubs willing to invest in smalls he could be a steal. Brisbanes mosquito squad Taylor (173, Zorko (174)and Green (176) are all on the short side.

If he can be as good as Boomer who btw is only 167cm is definitely worth a risk.

From the AFL Draft, Trade, Free Agency, List and General News page on facebook/twitter

Jon Ralph has said this afternoon on 1116 SEN that St Kilda will draft Christian Petracca, with their first selection and look to trade into the teens and draft another big bodied midfielder.

Interesting. Thought they might look for a KPP in the draft (could still look at one with a later pick).

Exactly. Why look for the best when you can settle for 18th best, just like their season.

Bill Manspeaker

Petracca is the best prospect in this years draft. #1 pick is for best prospect

we'll find a KPP somewhere else. whether it be Reece McKenzie/someone else or even Free Agency somewhere along the line

Good move IMO, Tracca looks like a gun 8)

Chargers were too good this year, like some of their boys were super impressive all season.
