Pick 18 Jade Gresham

[spert]

Number 1 without a doubt.

Sure, Carlton did the right thing in taking Weitering and Brisbane did the right thing taking Schace, as you need to lock in good key forwards & defenders when building a list. However Gresham, at this stage was the best player in the draft by a mile. If you had the No.1 pick and already had sufficient KPPs on your list, you take him in a heartbeat.

I haven't seen such a good young midfielder at the Club in my entire time following the Saints (since 1975), yes I saw Harvey's 1st season and yes he's better. Supporters older than I may rate Ian Stewart higher, I cannot make the comparison. I'd be interested to hear what they think.

I'll say it again, don't worry about Bontempelli & Petracca, this kid is the sh*t. Well done to our recruiters, one day the teams that had the 17 picks before us, will rue the day.

I watched Stewart play in my much younger days and he was special- but Gresh is also special and if anything moves more like a smaller version of Baldock, which can't be too bad.

I wasn't going to dare to compare him to The Doc, but if he's reminding you of Baldock then we do indeed have something special.

I love the fact he has a sidestep/baulk that creates space and if they do catch him, he either bounces off or breaks free.

His side step makes Lenny's side step look clumsy!

[Jacks Back]

I hope he keeps it up but we were saying the same thing about Lonie last year and look where he's at now.

[Con Gorozidis]

Ryan Burton at pick 19 might end up the best of the lot. Early doors.

Graeme Gellie was a star in his first year and won the B&F. (He was 23 so was older than Gresh.)

Will Billings be as good as The Gresh?
