Hoping Oliver will become that second bull alongside Viney.

Weideman could go ether way and needs time.

Overall, pretty happy.

Oliver seems very good by hand in close and at creating something, his team mates look to work off him well. So he can bring others into the game.

Bonus is that he can also run with it if need be and finish off the play so he certainly isn't one dimensional. Add his bullocking and tackling, we'll get service out of him that's for sure.

Did he say how much weight he lost prior to the draft?

Got his skinfolds down from 90 to 56

I'll look for the online link but I just looked at the paper on the tram. Oliver was pretty much waltzing along and started to make a big impression in the TAC so scored an invitation to the draft combine for testing. He didn't know what it meant but got some advice about the kind of testing and went to work. His skin folds were at 98 (the ideal being 50) so devised himself a training and running program that got him down to 58 for the combine.

I like this story. Shows effort and commitment. Also, a big body on a gifted player - that will fix itself once elite training in a professional environment commences in no time. Going the other way, from a skinny midfielder body to a tough one, is a much more difficult proposition.

That's from recollection. I'll try and sus out a link. Writer compared him strongly to Ollie Wines.

Sorry. I expect you're right.

Big effort though. He won't be a teddy bear for too much longer.

Here's the link - feel good story. Interestingly, his former coach is coming to the club in some development capacity, which is nice.

Not one decent redhead in the entire AFL...

Genetically they have lots of fast twitch fibres but not much else aerobically.

Jarryd Roughead performing okay surely?

I said redHEAD. Caucasian's commonly have red in their beards. You may find out when you're old enough to grow one.

No. There is red on his head.

And I tend to take a leaf out of Dez!'s book with some happy-go-lucky truth telling, but you are coming across as pretty much an a-hole.

 

[Theo X]

. Ben Kennedy is apparently quite quick too.

Yeah but he'll be playing in the VFL most likely.

Goddard count as decent and/or a ranga?

Got it without the paywall?

Dunno why that happened. I'm not a subscriber but it let me look at it and then suddenly put up a wall. I'll dig around.

Goddamn paywalls!

Paste the article title into google, works every time.

Worked. Beauty.

Nice read. Geez, that photo of him in the white isn't flattering though.

Reckon JV might tap him on the shoulder and say to him 'you're getting comparisons to my best mate Ollie, now's your chance to become even better'. Get him into that young training group - he now knows the value of busting a gut in the gym - and end up with him blasting someone out of the side.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

We've drafted four players with very high ceilings IMO (but also potential to underwhelm). All stocked for raw talent, have just struggled with injury/poor fitness bases that we can hopefully rectify.

Nah, if he doesn't come good for them, they want everyone to know where the blame should lie.

 

[Meds]

I'm with you on this. Add Goddard, cooney, Jacobs and Riewoldt to that list of current players.

Either they can't afford the licence, or they don't make a windows 3.11 based version the runs on their 486 processors.

Or, you know, give him a jumper...

 

[Sellout Scully]

What type of player should we go for in the rookie draft? Another mid? An outside midfielder? Someone with pace? A mature age player?

I'd still love Davin Ferreria but I can't see the club picking him up.

A dwarf with severe allopecia?

Would be on fire against the Saints

Would take longer to light up without any hair though.
