Got a good feeling about the Sonse, reckon he's going to be a dead set star. A hybrid version of Dusty and Toby Greene.

Pretty sure Cotch was s pies supporter.

It was Lids that was the Carlton Supporter cos of his dad wasn't it?

 

[craig]

I don't mind if the Sonz has a bit of campaigner about him.

Ex Dogs player Rick Kennedy.

"TITS" !!

Hard MF he was too like a few Full Backs of that Era.

Yeah, his dad played 1 game for the Blues.

I do remember Cotch saying he had a poster of Lids up on his wall as a kid, but he has said he was a cats fan. Not too strange a situation, standard Cotchiness.

Cotchy still has a poster of lids on his wall.

Lids now has a poster of Taronga Zoo on his wall.

If he was with Brooke back then he may have also been a Dogs fan to curry favour with her old man. KB barracked for the Dogs as a kid.

His highlights - left/right kicking, ball drop and balance , positioning and lateral movement, innate goal sense - all reminded me of Toby

My initial thinking was, how good if we bag the next Toby Greene at 28, sans the vitamin C?

Then my thinking clarified, and I now hope he’s an exact replica of TG, with an extra dollop of campaigner on top - with sprinkles

if that’s humanly possible.



If Mitchell blew up at an 18 yr old football savant for not playing structure, and that was part of the reason for overlooking him, more

fool Hawthorn, that smacks of a dud man manager.

Yeah, I loved his highlights, I know all highlights look good, but his showed his wide range of skills.
The goal that he got for Box Hill where he gained possession close to the middle of the ground, looked for an option, didn't see one, so slotted it from 50 was all class.

I can't believe that. I think they just rated others higher.

Slid to Pick 26, like Shai Bolton. Hopefully he'll have a similar story.

Public school kids were always going to be more affected this year than kids from nice families. He probably would've been better ranked in non-pandemic times.

I wouldn't read anything into whether he followed team instructions or not for Box Hill. Amidst two seasons interrupted by a pandemic, a Vic kid had a rare chance to impress recruiters. After all the cancelled matched and uncertainty over future matches before the draft, you're asking a lot to expect a kid to fill space for the one hour he gets on the field to prove himself.

Maybe his athletic profile was more of a factor in clubs overlooking him? Can't believe everything we hear. Most of what we hear is probably to trick other clubs anyway....e.g. Hobbs was in that category for mine.

I wonder if he wrote Salty on the poster after the 2017 Prelim

Would love to know what Tyler's 2klm / 20mtr / agility / leap data is but unfortunately doubt any of this would be available
if anybody has better googling skills ?

His whole family were strong Bulldogs people. Hardly missed a game.

Lucky for us he lived in our zone.

Who wouldn't like to see that?
And what's more, in the Yellow and Black nonetheless.
