That mark he takes at the end of his highlights tape is just awesome.
When your that height, and can do that. Wow.

With Rioli crumbing at their feet :clap.SCOOP said:Imagine a half forward line with the boy and McBean at VFL level with McKenzie at full forward, match up hell.
Same ethnic group as Majak Daw. He was slender as a youngster. A few years in the gym, look at his physique now. Certainly a well muscled lad.TigerForce said:I suppose 78kgs for his height is too light, but how heavy can East Africans get?
TigerForce said:Yep, that's what I like too.

He'll get on well with the other Sudanese Queenslanders at the club...
Panthera Tigris said:Jokes aside. My observation is that Australian rules seems to be a sport of choice amongst Sudanese kids in Queensland. Seems a higher percentage of kids of Sudanese background choose Aussie rules (and do well at it) than across the general populace of kids in QLD (given the ingrained culture for rugby codes).
Any QLDers that can verify if this is a correct casual observation?

Qld Indigenous kids too? Sounds great. Interestingly, apart from Rahn Hooper, there haven't been many indigenous blokes from non-AFL territory being drafted. And even though indigenous kids do play the rugby codes, you get the sense it isn't as ingrained as part of their social fabric as AFL is amongst their indigenous counterparts in AFL states. Some untapped potential amongst indigenous kids in QLD/NSW perhaps?tigersnake said:I co-coached a team at a primary school lightening premiership, under 12s, at Chol's old Yeronga home ground actually. Our team was mostly indigenous kids. The schools from areas with a lot of African people had a lot of African kids. And there were a lot of teams like that. I spoke to a couple of other coaches and they said they take to it like ducks to water, and a decent proportion want to play it over soccer.

Allir is at the Swans I think. Interesting one he is. Took up the sport in QLD, and played most of his junior days there. Moved to WA to be with extended family and played 1 season there before being drafted. So really another QLD product (via Sudan & Kenya) you could say.ToraToraTora said:I read tbe other day that Allir Allir (Lions?) has turned from a stick into absolute unit. Chol has wide shoulders will fill out I reckon.
