Reckon you did, but like you said we won’t know for a while. Rozee is a Rolls Royce

I was pretty nervous heading into tonight, but I think we have done reasonably well with our selections.
Rozee at 5 is a ripper. This selection worried me the most, based on what potentially could have happened above us, and the temptation for us to look at a Ben King or Bailey Smith, who for mine, carried huge flight risk.
Rozee is an absolute star and will be an elite player for us for 7-10 years once he reaches his full potential. Connor was certainly best available at #5 and definitely fills a need for us. A terrific user of the footy by hand and foot, elite aerial skills and full of pace and x-factor. Was the best player in the country as a 16 year old, rapt to have him at the club. Will play Round 1 next year without a doubt.
Love Zak Butters. Love him. Lacks the scope and the x-factor that Rozee possesses, but his skills and football IQ are up there with the best of this draft. Check his highlights - on two separate occasions he took possession of the footy inside 50- players of his calibre by foot would be excused for having a ping, but Butters assessed the situation and was able to spot up forwards in the funnel 30m out. Bliss.
Mightn't transition into a full time mid but will service well on a flank, it wouldn't surprise me to see Zak line up for us in R1 and play some senior footy next year.
Duursma at #18 is the apparent reach, depending on which way you look at the draft. Possesses a powerful physique, is explosive away from a stoppage and is very agile for his size. I am in love with his skills by hand, but have concerns by foot - something we can ill afford at Port Adelaide at this present time. A prolific TAC cup campaign masks over a underwhelming championships. I have question marks over this one, particularly given what went around him.

Looks a more balanced forward half.

All clubs do it and I reckon it's great.
