Re: Welcome Todd Elton
Interesting pick, didn't really notice him at the carnival so i'm assuming he showed some good form at TAC level (at least in patches). I'm just wondering if FJ is thinking outside the square here, with such impressive speed and agility Elton could be an ideal candidate for CHB. He's probably too short for the ruck and I'd like to see more time put into Griffiths in the forward line so that would seem a logical step.

Re: Welcome Todd Elton
People keep saying he is too short for the ruck, at 3 cm short of Vickery, but with an 89cm running vertical a few cm short is a little irrelevant. I would be flabbergasted if he couldn't jump a mile higher than Browne.

Re: Welcome Todd Elton
Griffiths 198 , Astbury 195 , Elton 197 and Vickery 200+ .
We are stockpiling young mobile talls .
Thats a good thing

Re: Welcome Todd Elton
Remember the game can't really afford 2 genuine rucks anymore so I think the type of player Elton is becomes more important for clubs as a key position who can pinch hit in the ruck. The kid obviously has talent and has great ground skills too for his height. Again another strong bodied player already. Will be interesting to see how he progresses.

Re: Welcome Todd Elton
Must have been a different highlights reel to what I saw then, not being critical though, just nothing much that inspired based on what I saw - big unit, hope he's a good learner because from what I've seen so far needs plenty of development.

Re: Welcome Todd Elton
Common sense. He'll need a bit of work by the looks of it.
We're certainly getting some genuine height onto the list, you'd hope at least a couple of them will kick on.
Puts a bit of pressure on Post, Griffiths & Astbury this too.

After watching Todd and Perer Daicos have a kick on YouTube, the only thing I can say is "happy go lucky".

Can anyone get the video of The Todd to work on the RFC website? I still keep getting a "video unavailable" message.

Re: Welcome Todd Elton
True & most reports are saying he is better as a key fwd.197 for a key fwd is not short.Most people had Ellis & Elton going around the picks we have taken them with so it's not like we have drafted smokey's.A few non Tiger supporters over on b.f think we have done well.

Re: Welcome Todd Elton
But that will be the short AFL version whereas the RFC will have a longer package.

Re: Welcome Todd Elton
Post is 195 as well. Add to that Jack at 195, Rance at 194 and Maric at 200. Overall I think we have the best batch of talls we've had for a long time, both in terms of quantity and quaility. Jack is already an A-grader and Vickery is on his way to this level, we just need a few of the others to develop into top liners. Rance gave me a lot of hope this year.
