We were due for an Ollie

Happy to get a kpd at that height.

Have years to develop him.

Welcome big Ollie.

 

[Bastyy]

A much more exciting developing KPD than Davies, I like it

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Interesting that Sheehan mentioned he'd only just started playing defence this year? Could be more of a swingman?

 

[Dockernut]

Welcome Ollie - sorry I cried out * when we picked you. It’s not you it’s me. It’s Freo needing forwards. I’m sure you’ll be awesome for us.

Welcome.

Only 85kgs, I assume he'd need some time, which we've got. After 3 odd years Pearce will be turning 30/31. I really rate this pickup

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

History is littered with incredible KPDs picked around this mark, I have an irrational belief this kid is going to be a star

 

[Eski3]

With Davies probably projecting to be more of a second tall, this is a really great pickup for our list imo

Supposedly didn't test well athletically at the draft camp

Rumours are he ran an extremely slow 20m at the combine and also tested poorly for agility. Not surprising for a 200cm player, but not ideal for a KPD.

Looks like a good aerialist and kick, and played all his junior footy (except the last year) as a forward/ruck, so who knows where we see his future.

I don't rate Davies so here's hoping he can be our tall back.

Will be good hopefully to take Pearce spot in the future

We love a tennis convert

 

[Chris25]

Much better than Archer Reid.

Much better than Archer Reid.

Why did he test so poorly?

I hope he can get his speed and endurance up.

I'm really happy we picked Ollie up. In terms of young talent, I think this was the biggest gap on our list as we didn't have a long term replacement for Pearce.

Davies, Draper and Murphy is great young KPD depth and will pair nicely with Amiss, Treacy and Jackson/McDonald as they all mature.
