Game Day 2019 Draft - now with poll!

Ben Jarman-esue sprint stats

 

[hey shorty]

191cm, 72kg

THE outside midfielder received a late call-up to the Cannons’ program after impressing for his school throughout the year. He is only a lightly-built player at 72kg to go with his 191cm height, but Gollant has great footy IQ as well as fierce defensive pressure. He is not afraid to lay tackles on much bigger bodies as he showed throughout the finals series, with a couple of great running chases. Averaging just 11.7 disposals as a midfielder, he will want to improve that area of his game, as well as adding more scoreboard impact playing as a winger. He runs to the right places and has the nice 191cm size that will attract clubs with some interest particularly peaking late in the season. He does not have the speed that others might have, recording 3.15 seconds on the 20m sprint, but seems to glide rather than burst around the ground. A long-term prospect for a club who might be looking for that taller midfielder with smarts.

STRENGTHS: Game sense, marking/vertical leap, defensive work, size
IMPROVEMENTS: Scoreboard impact, accumulation, speed

Apparently he is VERY slow

Maybe Tex will play on the wing after all.

3.15ms 20m sprint is glacial. Will find it hard to play football as an outside mid with that sort of speed.

We must see something special in him but doesn't sound impressive

Someone is going to be transitioning to being an inside midifelder.

 

[cmndstab]

Never understand why people get so worked up over the 20m sprint being either side of 3 seconds.

Going berserk over O'Connor running it in 2.98 but Gollant doing it in 3.15 is glacial? It's a difference of one-sixth of a second.

2 Hamish specials, both tallish mids which is something we don't have. Long term prospect by the sounds.

 

[huludicidal]

We have clearly prioritised adding height to our midget filled list for the first time in ages.

Happy with our haul. Nice to have a couple of fascinating project players on board (both of whom fill clear needs as we have 0 tall inside or outside mids), in addition to 3 genuine quality players.

Booo, would have preferred we give Tahney a go over this guy

 

[Scorpus]

Geelong take Taheny

Probably see potential in his football IQ and marking ability - a bit of an odd mixture of traits I have to admit.

 

[AusTerran]

wow Geelong lol

Sounds like a Signorello.

3.15s 20m sprint for a skinny outside mid?

Maybe he missed the start

Seems strange to take a low possession winner slow outside midfielder.

I'd love to see some highlights

Strange selection when Tahney was right there waiting for us

 

[maxlilly]

They say great footy IQ but only ave.s 11 disposals ??
That doesn't look like great footy IQ

 

[FAITH]

surely taheny was worth our last pick.

 

[hey shorty]

Geelong take Taheny

We will see him in 2 years.

Hamish loves at least one super left field selection every draft

 

[crows dude]

So that’s it. Tomorrow rookie draft fir speed then

Can also be the difference between being tackled or not.

I mean, presumably we did it because we rate this guy higher than Taheny?

Late to the system, must have impressed in school footy.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Could’ve got the last 2 blokes in the rookie draft

 

[Danger in Texas]
