Senior 8. Jake Kolodjashnij (2014-)

[vinum coupe]

I've just realised, Wells has done it again.
He has successfully replaced J. Corey, J Hunt, and J. Podsiadly

J. Jansen
J. Kolodjashnij
J. Walker

J. Selwood
J. Caddy
J. Bartel
J. Kelly
J. Schroder
J. Cowan
J. Murdoch
J. Bews
J. Rivers
J. Thurlow
J. Stringer
J. Hamling

Expect a couple of "J's" in the rookie draft to keep J. Sheringham company

 

[bellpark]

may still be growing though, reminded me a little of Ben Reid when he was drafted, he was listed at 193cm and 94kg and grew to around 195cm and 100kg so young Jake could end up being a similar size.

I reckon JK will be the first of these three to crack the seniors. If Jansen can continue his improvement he will be a real chance in 2015 and Darcy will probably need 2 preseasons.

James Toohey, Josh Miller, James Tsitas it is then?

So the best chance for Bundy Jnr to get selected in the rookie draft is to change his name to Jack before next week?

Jack as a nick name perhaps, as in Jack Daniels? It can't be Bundy obviously.
I think he's a good chance to get picked up, either by us or someone else. Seems to have the decision making, vision, foot and hand skills to be an AFL player, so we could do a lot worse. The 3 I named I would be happy with too though.

Someone has mentioned it already... But I like 'JK' as a nickname

It will be interesting to see if the playing group comes up with something, like they did with Smithy, or if they stick with one already given, like Boris.
I like Koala, its a bit like Kola but being a Tassie boy seems more appropriate to me.
Or as Daz said, Pepsi. I like ones which are a bit more 'out there'.

Still yet to see them in the hoops (we will on Tuesday, along with Jumper numbers), but this is better than nothing!

The one in the middle is KPP and the one one the right a mid.......

Id say that is one big midfielder ... and if it keeps going at the trend you have to have rucks playing as KPP.

And JK , perhaps he needs to be just as good in the midfield as a defender

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Interesting prospect, how does that effect Brown probably not this year but 2015+? He really has to try and cement himself in the team.

Brown seems to have height (depending where you read), but Jake has size already on him.

but Jake has size already on him.

Partridge will categorically refute that!

lol well Wikipedia says Brown is 84kgs while I read Jake was 88kgs, a couple of pre-seasons will get him into the 90's.

 

[Bobby_]

88 kilo's is a good starting point isn't it.
Equal 4th for running vertical jump (34½ inches) at the combine so that extra bit of elevation will be good to have down back.
His brother dominated the fitness tests.

Wikipedia?

Even the Geelong website that hardly gets updated has Brown at 92kg.

Fair enough then. Makes it better for Brown.

From that photo it appears that Jansen is taller (and bigger bodied) than Kolo. You'd swear he was the one drafted as the tall defender rather than as a mid. Also Lang appears, relatively, to be a bit taller than the 181cm he is advertised at. That, or there is a dip in the ground where Kolo is standing!!

If you look at the ankles you see that Lang is standing closer to the camera, it makes him look relatively taller

I saw the other day Lang now 183cms up from the 181.

I know from discussions about Lewis Taylor that the heights recorded at the combine were misreported. The other thing is that the picture in this article makes JK look a bit more than 2cm taller than KK: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-....com.au/news/2013-11-21/twin-wishes-fulfilled

I assume GFC will measure height and weight at the end of the pre-season and post it on their website - and finally we will know their real height and weight. Seems so many different stats around.

You assume! so do I, to often.

 

[El Dubya]

Ok, judging by the picture at the top of this article JK is a bit taller than JJ, on top of that JJ has some ridiculously boofy hair.
GFC are likely to release heights and weights for the players, but they're frequently wrong by the time the season begins.

Looks so strange! Those numbers and those bodies.

Here's Kolodjashnij in #8... Looks very odd.

They all look odd... but to me it's because the 35 looks like a player jumper, the other 2 look like they have gotten a jumper from the cats shop and just whacked the numbers on there.. slightly different colour to the one printed on and the size is a bit out..
