Re: Last 4 National drafts
I think the young blokes just have to show a willingness to work hard and hit small achievements along the way.
Caminiti and Windy need a consistent run at senior level and need to show they can impact in 1 out of every 3 games imo.

Re: Last 4 National drafts
A real focus on high endurance in the past two drafts. I'm not fussed about picking up the mids later in the draft, rather than earlier. There have been many gun midfielders selected after pick 30 over the years and I think we'll see a good example in 2025 with Hugo Garcia
We have finally selected a ruckman of genuine quality. It's been a long rume
