I think Marra will play more AFL. 2021 he was blooded.

Yeah I expect Marra to be ready to go Round 1 after another preseason.

Darcy - With limited games as a 17/18 year old he will have to bide his time and get fit for AFL footy. I almost don't expect he plays till maybe the second half of the year, if at all.
FFC: Established 1883
Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

He's a few years away for sure. Maybe a few games in 22 and then more consistent stuff in 23/24.
Makes you realise how amazing Jackson is when this is his second season.

I'd say 2022 is a full development year for him. He's played about 10 game in two years and needs a lot of training and coaching.

Does having a former AFL ruckman as a dad give him any advantage?

Sure, but playing footy in a competition is the way to develop his skills.
Luke was an accurate kick so lets hope Sam has that skill nailed.

I reckon we'll see him holding down a key defencive post by the start of 2023 if he can build his tank up quickly.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

I'm a little worried about the price here. I mean, I loved Tim Walsh don't get me wrong.
Yep wrong thread again.
Meant Darcy.
How about those Foo Fighters.

Would you have taken one of the King brothers if they were available?
Looking at it a different way, is he worth a pick in the high teens? Because that's what we're getting him for plus a few draft picks that are essentially speculative in a year where a massive chunk of the talent hasn't been on show.

Yes. Is he at that level? It's hard to tell with the lack of competition.

Sorry, I edited my post above.
He could be at their level, he might not be. The price is somewhat distorted by the system.

That's it we are kind of in a weird situation. Great side, that has the amazing ability to get two top 5 talents in successive years.
I love it.
I just have this nagging flip side about does this somehow hurt us if they're duds.
But that's the game for all picks - I'm just being anxious.

It’s a genuine concern. Ayce Cordy also was the messiah but that never happened .
More of an In Bruges guy?
