Comparisons with Zorko and Merrett being made.

Well if hes as good as the Zork or Merrett then we have done very well.

Cc tiger NO chance he takes Butlers spot round 1..
Been wrong before gutfull, however I think it’s a big chance, I think the round 1 forward half will be much
Different to the premiership one, as silly as that may sound

Love his comment where he says most players will be shocked at the amount of work required at AFL level, "I WON'T BE ONE OF THEM"

I think you’re onto something CC. I had the same thought, although maybe not Rd 1.

Yep and he can back that comment up as well.
He has been training with Christian Woodford since he is 14 he also has had a running coach since he was 13 and a core strength coach for the past year. Practices 'touch skills' close quarters kicking and hand passing 45 minutes every day. During the 2017 season he reviewed the highlights and lowlights of every game with his TAC cup coach and his Caulfield grammar coach. Because of all the work he puts in he has not been injured once in the past 4 years, excellent biomechanics. This kid is the very definition of a professional he has been preparing for day 1 of preseason at an afl club for the past 4 years.

Here is a fantastic 40 minute interview with Christian Woodford Pre draft about how phenomenal his work ethic and professionalism is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhO7uAv7R4E

Watched that and the other bloke rants on a fair bit but gives some good insights into Jack.

Love the pick.

Don't think that is correct, 3.07 is the best time.

Bullus, if you have the data can you give us the success rate on sub 180cm players who run over 3s for 20 metres? Is it a concern?
