View Full Version : Tristan Cartledge . . ?
Could someone please tell me something about him?? the last time i heard his name was right after we drafted him. I havent seen him in the best players/goalkickers for Bendigo once or seen him in the match reviews. All that i know is that he is over 190cm, has dark hair and Essendon drafted him. Where is he and what are the raps on him like ???
Still going to school (Year 12).
Looks okay on the ground, but, as with most ruckmen, will take time to develop.
Certainly, the people of Ballarat are keeping an eye out for him.
Saw him playing school footy a couple of weeks ago and our ruck man was equal to him all day and probably beat him arounf the ground, he did not impress me the way that Reynolds did the year before.

Go to school with him, play in the 1st (unfortunately he didn't play in the same matches as me) but I've seen him play and he didn't impress me much. Does good in the ruck contests and has a great leap and mark. But does not have good skills I don't think. He may make it in to the seniors and establish himself, not too sure. Joel Reynolds impressed me much more last year. I even got to drag him in a match last year. :D

I heard he played very well in the Sun shield final on Sunday.

was reasonable but nowhere near an afl standard player. He is tall got a heck of a lot of filling out to do, but i have seen him twice now and think he will struggle to make an impact

I thought he was good, one of the best. But he doesn't stand out like an AFL player probably should. Did you go Yabba? I'm guessing you're a De La Salle boy?

Yeah, we finally beat you in a final. Not to mention the Athletics Carnival too. Any of you play 1sts? Or are you ex-boys?

It looks funny in the history books seeing the same name 9 lines in a row.
:p
