Great stuff, Crusha. Certainly looks to have a real natural aggression.
I can't put my finger on it, but I think there's something a little odd about his kicking action though. Doesn't look quite natural.

Man am I impressed my Hammelman!! Would love him on our list! Loves to pluck a mark and looks quick for his size! His disposal by foot can be a little poor by the looks of things but once that neatens up he could be very valuable!!

Gee, I hadn't seen any of Corey Wagner till then, but gee, like the look of him. Sharp mover, neat kick, nice sidestep, huge tank too apparently.

Third Tall
The Wagner clan is a pretty strong bloodline in Qld footy.
Agree, looks very tidy and hard-working.
I also like Corvo. Nate Dennis is another who will be looked at pretty closely I expect.
But effective. Found he kicked off one step a bit. When it's put out in front of the leading player like it was, hard to knock too much. (Not that you were)
Looks a likely type.

Think they have a bit of history at Sandgate.

Would be interesting if we had a draft where 100% of our live picks became academy players.
If Beams were to be traded for there would be every chance that we would not have a live pick if you counted academy and father sons. I still think we will have to use our second rounder.
can any of the experts predict how our draft will go in regards to how many academy prospects we will nominate and at what level if any they will be bid against...
from what i have read, as many as 4 or 5 kids will come from the academy and maybe 2 or 3 will draw bids from other clubs..
Hypothetically if we stick to keeping pick 4/5 and use our second round pic on Ryder or another F.A., does this mean we will use the rest of our picks on academy kids?

I think he proved his worth in the trenches for alot of this season aswell.
His beep test results coupled with a fairly low hype level around him had me guessing he was a running machine, but maybe had questionable disposal or decision-making -- like a Simon Hogan or a Tom Rischbieth type. But there was no evidence of that watching that vid. Very composed.
