Will Aaron Black slide? Still there at pick 22, but probably not much longer.

Bartlett still around too.

Re: Selection #29 - ??????

Carlisle gone now. Our preferred choices are being taken.

Re: Selection #29 - ??????

And the late mail comes true, Gunston to the Crows! Two talls so far, so much for Rendell's claim that we'd primarily target mids!

Re: Selection #29 - Jack Gunston

Jack Gunston - Rendell couldn't read it out fast enough.

No great surprise here, given the mail on our board in the last couple of days.

Re: Selection #29 - Jack Gunston

Damn Black what a steal. However I'll back Rendell on this one and he seemed pretty excited to pick him up haha.

191cm is a good size for a midfielder. Gone are the days of the "Collingwood six footer"

Re: Selection #29 - Jack Gunston

Love the handball on this kid.

Like talia, he could play wing KPF KPB HBF HFF wherever, Dell pick.

Needs work on his kick and weight, but great hands both marking and handballing.

Re: Selection #29 - Jack Gunston

Skinny as a rake but looks to have nice skills

Craig said on 5AA that he had an hour-long chat to this kid and really liked him.
