Does anyone know what his results (speed, agility, YoYo etc) were like at the draft camp?

As others have mentioned, he did not test

Is gifted both sides of his body, has a great side step, is not overly quick, but not slow either. His hands are slick and makes great decisions by foot.

Very similar to an Angus Brayshaw, hard at it, will never take a backward step.

Endurance is good, runs all day, but will need to try and improve that pace.
 
Those kicks to advantage inside 50, going to be one of my ... and every forwards ... favourites for years.

A tougher Houlihan if you will.

Yes Ralphy is quite a cracker.
Let me say Silvagni Agresta and Brodie have snared 3 young jet midfielder in one swoop. Walsh, Setterfield and Stocker and a new experienced forward attack Bugg, McGovern & Fasolo, reinforced the backline with Newman and Goddard. Brillant work by the recruiting team. They may not all come to fruition but it’s a mighty effort.
We we need sone luck and hope AR can spin his magic everything possibile has been in one solitary trade period. Great work SOS and team

I really like this summary - the mids are possibly elite (and our area of concern) - the forwards provide experience which our forwards lack - the defenders are solid or a gorilla with potential - it is a really good 2018 draft haul.

Stocker is the bonus for us this year and I really like what the recruiting team has done.

The other part of this story is that I think the likelihood of us trading what ever first round pick we end up with is going to be fairly high. I'm expecting us to go really hard at some pretty top level talent through trading and free agency next year. The time is right. We just need some promising results, cap space and salary dumps which I am backing we will have.

$1600-1800 ? Can’t remember. You find though that the top picks & big names draw a “premium” & are gone before anyone gets a chance. Found that when my previous player was delisted & we recruited marchbank - he wasnt on the list of available players that sponsors whose player is no longer playing get prior to general release. I get an email monday as do those others who sponsor & no longer have the player at the club, get a few days to choose a new player. Spose for whatever reason some payers on the list also have sponsors that dont take it up the following year but yeah theres not usually a lot to chose from, whatever spots are left then go to “general public”.

I was thinking of Setterfield or Stocker. Pretty sure Walsh will be gone as will Ben.

$1800 is a lot to me. Soooo, probably not.

Edit: and wouldn't you know it, when I kept scrolling down, there in the relevant discussions section is a photo of young Finbar, just pleading, saying sponsor me. Please.

Sounds like your production was very short.

It was the forerunner of the Rex Hunt Fishing Show, waaaay ahead of its time. Rex was not the first to catch fish so he could kiss them and throw them back, he simply cashed in on the idea.

A million fad diets were also launched off the back of the production. Could have been a gazzillionaire if social media had been invented back then.

Poor old Michael ...

Just checked my email from them. So there are marquee players then the rest.
Platinum sponsorship is for 17 marquee players only, $6950.
Gold sponsorship - marquee player (14 in this group) $3190 rest of squad $2790.
Silver sponsorship marquee player $2190 & rest of squad $1690.
They used to have cheaper rookie sponsorships too but thats no longer available.
But I’d suggest if you're interested to get in touch with the club & put your name down on the waiting list for an email from them ASAP cos as i said earlier they dont usually have a heap of players actually available. If need be sponsor an unknown, get your foot in the door so to speak & see what happens in a season or 2.
It is great though getting to know them, players have crazy “fans” whom football means the world to they speak to all the time, i think they appreciate (once you get over that “wow” factor ) when we speak to them as friends & as “people” & not so much footballers. Google them & find out something other than footy to talk about. Doc grew up on my beach on Phillip Island so i talk to him about that, Matt Kennedy is a farm kid & has strong catholic beliefs so i talk to him about my 10 acre farm & beliefs, Fish went to Guildford as does our close friends sons, one plays basketball with his brother so i always talk about them, Levi’s a young father & his boy is such a cute little man i see at reserves games running about so i talk about kids.
The players talk football from about 7am til late afternoon 6 days a week, sometimes its nice to talk about something else.

Good luck with your sponsorship - hope you get on board cos it’s going to be good times in the not too distant future.

Why would a journo make such a distasteful public comment about a young kid?
Silly IMO

The AFL should really be demanding better examples from these muck journalists trying to bury 17/18 year olds who have just been drafted.

I happened on Daisy Pearce on Friday morning I think on SEN who was saying crap like “imagine being one King boy you get to have your mums cooking and go down the road to the club you supported and now play for... and then your the other who has to go to Gold Coast”

That kind of drivel is not required. Sure the Suns don’t seem like an ideal destination but a “poster girl” of the AFL effectively apologising to a kid who goes to a club she clearly doesn’t respect - I hope that the Suns remember when she’s up there doing commentary duties and give her nothing. I hope Ben, Luko and the Suns can all turn that club around (not against us) and be good players and champion that club for a decade.

She also commented on the Stocker trade and selection saying how would he feel. Could have gone to a premiership contender... now has to be part of a rebuilding club.

I thought she was better than that but really sounds like she’s let the ego of being in the industry get to her brain.

I would love one day for these draftees to tell the offending people like Ralph and Pearce to “GAGF” when they get approached for comment.

So many parasite commentators flogging opinion as fact in media... it’s why I hardly ever tune in.

I can hear Daisy’s voice when reading that.
