Were you around the year Pahoff got them ? Was a looong time ago when things weren’t controlled too well. I know how he got them and it caused a bit of a stink shall we say.

Leek Alleer leaps higher than Nic Nat and into draft reckoning
Leek Alleer on Saturday broke the running vertical jump record with ease in South Australia’s combine, shattering previous records set by Kyron Hayden and Nic Naitanui.
Na, don't remember that. Gus was posting results on request a couple of years ago, dunno if he's even here any more.
much like the Strava 2km times, just a word of caution on standing vertical jumps .......
the boys first reach for their fingertip height, then jump, and the jump height is = 2-1.
I've seen boys minimise their fingertip height - slightly bent knees, slightly bent elbows, slightly bent fingers, slightly dropped shoulders,
then extend the lot on the jump.
you could get a 10cm compound error I reckon.
recruiters would know all this, hence why they go watch the testing.
I like the gap, more time to cut a deal and get your primary targets.
Can take a very nice grab. Kicking still a work in progress.
Miller probably gave them to him to get him to drop his board spill partition?
Never met someone who had less self awareness than old Pahoff. Thought he was a brilliant recruiter but was actually clueless

Impressive. Can't coach a player to back into packs and take strong marks - either have it or they dont and he does. Rance was crazy brave from the word go.
He had a great agility result i believe
Also i think Blair also mentioned him after the SA v WA game and with Sam Cousens looking over the WA kids i think we would certainly have him on our board.
great reel. reminds me a bit of 18 yo Noah balta's mitts and athleticism.
again, a word of caution ..... hes 20yo
literally a man playing boys.
Im getting Didak / Sidebottom vibe from Rochelle Rochelle
That is a strange highlight package
15 marks 0 hand balls 0 kicks 0 play on and no running in 6 games
doesnt that seem strange ?
Hi Bully, for KPP's I think their major stat is their ability and desire to mark (overhead) be it in packs or intercept. How does Polson compare with the other contenders; Gibcus, Alleer, Amiss, JVR, Bazzo etc? Our best players have this attribute; Jack, Grimes, Balta, Vlaz, Nank
Has played 11 senior games, only averaging 9 touches so there's work to be done but if you look back at Rance's first couple of years then improvement can be found on the skills front.
The only good thing the combine is good for ,is it keeps the player's fitness up ,and it's a meet and greet sort of thing.
I still think Vic boys are better options at our first pick .
Hartley or Clarke might have mentioned him,because they have no other matches to talk about

Go and see if you can find a Sanfl match of alleer in it,and then tell me you would take him in the second round ,,you tube only show the good bits,matches show everything.
Yeah he's got a bit of Sidebottom about him,roams the midfield like him
all the afl recruiters say without difference,unless u need points for a bid,points are completely irrelevant .
I have Gibcus & Alleer neck and neck for marking ability, the reason Gibcus is seen as the best defender is his kicking is much more assured and he tends to run off his man more often, although this can send him into trouble on occasion. Not a terminal issue and probably one you could iron out once in an AFL system. Alleer simply doesn't have that spontaneity in his game but there's growth potential & that makes him a reasonable bet in the second round.
Van Rooyen is a very strong mark in a pack situation, doesn't shirk responsibility & of all the KP prospects he presents as the best swingman, comfortably I might add. Where he might have a few problems is with the Inspector Gadget types who use their reach, this was something Bazzo did to great effect. Van Rooyen is a good runner with a very high work rate, not an elite leap but Oscar Allen isn't in that category either. Happy to grab him in the twenties & would take him over Alleer if both were available.
Amiss is more of a leading type, he's more in that Jack Gunston mould of canny one on one operator who can get separation & a player who can hustle his way to front position. Technically fine as a contested mark but not a pack splitter, he probably relies on silver service delivery more than your typical power forward but his kicking for goal is first class.
Bazzo is still a player I'm assessing, his play in defence has largely been a negating role, I'm still trying to dig up some footage of his work in the forward line. Given that he's spent a fair chunk of time as a junior forward indicates he's a competent grab. Will get back to you on this one.
