Welcome Welcome National Draft Pick #44 - Myles Poholke

[Danger in Texas]

Leadership has to be the most overrated quality. Any club or organisation really only needs a couple of good ones.

Can't really see where it says Poholke is a definite leader at this stage? Hamish did say that he passed the 'good bloke test', but I'd say that's different to leadership.

I think Myles might be taller than what the stats say, he and Charlie Cameron are apparently the same height yet in the video on the clubs website when he meet Charlie, Myles is clearly taller. Of course Charlie could be shorter than he's listed at but Seed is standing near them (who stands at 190cm), and there's not much difference between them. Reckon he's closer to 187-ish cm.

I agree. I also saw a photo from earlier in the year of Poholke next to Dangerfield. They looked the same size.

He sounded pretty confident on the radio compared to Jarman who was quite nervous.

Both kids sounded pretty enthusiastic though. The SANFL side should be a bit better to watch with fewer players just going through the motions (Lowden, Henderson, etc).

Probably will help to have a small forward to even out the four ruckman in the goal square to.

Disagree with this a little, leadership is not necessarily about being the focus for the rest of your team, it's also about taking responsibility for your actions and being inspiring to you peers in tough spots. It's amazing what a calm presence can do to others in a tough situation, doesn't mean he is in charge.

Gallucci and Poholke, among the five teenagers selected by the Crows at the national draft, hope to eventually form a dynamic one-two midfield punch.

“We’ve probably known each other for 12-18 months now and it’s a massive positive to be able to share the journey with him,” said Poholke, a Port Adelaide supporter who dreamt the night before the draft that he would be picked by Adelaide.

that is very odd a Victorian growing up been a port power supporter.

Very odd. Especially as they don't even show the pregame on tv.

Pleased to hear Thommo caught up with him on day 1 to start the mentoring.

 

[Chief Crow]

If he gets through pre-season well and his endurance is up to standard then I think he will be in the talks for round 1 (form permitting) as he is built like a brick S**t house

"Leadership" doesn't just mean they can lead people. It also means they're able to self-motivate, have strong discipline, are mature, etc.

It's a very positive trait to have, assuming it doesn't come at the expense of footballing ability.

Some very good examples of Leadership qualities. I also think Danger in Texas made a very good comment about ''good blokes''.

Jetwa5h gave a great example of group presence. The ability to calmly think through a difficult situation. It doesn't necessarily mean you will be put in charge of the group , but what happens , and in cmndstab quote we see a further extension of this is that by your own actions you can influence a group to move in a positive direction. ( of course this can also occur negatively)

When someone says '' we recruit good blokes'' it means that we see these traits of self-motivation, making the right( positive) choices, calmly thinking through a process, having strong discipline ; which is the ability to make good choices combined with the strength to reject negative influences.

Its not about being robotic and not having a drink or attending functions or nights out, its knowing not to have that 3rd drink, its knowing not to jump in a car after, its mostly about making every effort to maximize your career. Someone ( might have been cmndstab ) talked about the pyramid of successful players. To be a 200 game player requires all the above, and that's without having the pressure of Captaincy or Leadership thrust on someone early.

Sounds like everyone we draft is a future leader.

We got any followers for them to lead?

Considering we tend to lose a few interstate players, I think it's smart thinking stocking up on leaders!

 

[BRL121]

Jesus

No, he's playing at CHB.

Does anyone else see a bit of Roo here?

 

[Houston]

No, he's playing at CHB.

I think you mean forward pocket. The dude was only about 5 feet tall.

Those things are to do with yourself, not others. Leadership is about your effect in others. Also, they are qualities you want in all your players, so if you're calling those things leadership then you really want a squad of 44 leaders which makes it meaningless.

Gary Ablett by all reports has those qualities in spades, and it is part of why he's a champion. But he's not a leader, and anywhere but Gold Coast that wouldn't be a problem.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

cmon, are you serious ! .....jesus is always the umpire

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Yeah, but he could bake the most delicious cake in the world.

 

[BRL121]

That's blasphemous! Strictly speaking, I suppose, G. Ablett Jr ("Son of God") should take the title.

That's why he was captain ......remember the Monty Python sketch about the soccer match with all the prophets ?

 

[Bicks]

Myles always seems to be really enjoying his work.

That puts his size into perspective doesn't it? Harto is a monster and Myles doesn't look much smaller at all!

 

[Pugsley]

No, he's playing at CHB.

Lock for centre. Best player on the team. The type that could walk on water even turn it into wine.

 

[Deaneus!]

Yeah, but he could bake the most delicious cake in the world.

Jesus was way cool.

I love that song.

that is very odd a Victorian growing up been a port power supporter.

I think you mean "that is very odd an intelligent person growing up been a port power supporter"

 

[1990crow]

I've got a really good feeling about Poholke... like super player good feeling.
Ogilvie special.
