vertical leap 81 cm (nicnatunui like)
20 mtr sprint 2.83 (fastest at draft camp)

was expected to be drafted around pick 5- 30

ended up going 1st pick in the psd to my team richmond, i still have hopes that he will develope into a kpp but wouldnt be suprised if he doesnt make it at all.
the youtube clips can be very very deceptive 2-4 minutes of highlights doesnt really reflect the true player & the recruiting scouts would of seen multiple games of these kids.

the name is david gourdis...............please watch

Gourdis' highlights weren't that deceptive, he dropped because of mental issues and stamina problems.

Would be happy to take him at 35 or 44.

I guess getting a sports psychologist and a long hard pre-season is to much to ask for from the Richmond staff....

Got nothing to do with his sport.

Deeper issues at play.

I'm going to take a stab here and guess that you don't really know what I meant when I said 'mental issues', do you?

Mental issues as in Ryan Hooper crazy or Jonathon Hay depression?

aside from any depression or mental issues the guy has he is just a very poor footballer

really struggles and doesnt appear to have any natural footy smarts at all
