I was wondering there at one stage as i thought getting late he may have been a rookie. Eagles have a reasonable record at picking the mature age players. Matt Priddis was one and Connor West looks very promising.

I was a bit surprised they picked Rhett Bazzo even though he is a really good player. I think Mcgovern and Barrass have long contracts and with Harry Edwards and Josh Rotham we seem chockers with tall back men. Jack Williams might be in a similar situation in the forward line and it will most probably take a few years to get a spot.

The first pick Campbell Chesser seems like a very good fast runner so should fit in very well. Seems to have good poise under pressure so exactly what we need in a young player. Not sure about Hough but he is an improver so wish him the best of luck.

I think it could be a very good year for the Eagles with Rioli back and as long as most of the players stay injury free. Jarrod Schofield is a very good footy brain so it will be interesting to see what impact he and the other new coach has on the game plan and group.

I think Freo did well as usual with all the low order draft picks. I think Jye Amiss might have been exactly what they needed.

I like the look of Kade Dittmar. Only 18, overlooked in draft but IMO could develop into a very tough in and under midfielder.
Good to see the Eagles invite him to train with them. Will be interesting to see if anything further develops.
