More info on Karl Amon

Karl took giant strides towards becoming a regular AFL player in 2015. Outside of a poor opening game, he improved his consistency at SANFL level, picked up more of the ball and improved his skill level under pressure. He was rewarded with his debut AFL game in Round 7 against Brisbane, where he picked up 9 disposals and a goal. He played 7 matches at AFL level throughout the season, being a vested player in 5 of them. His two full games were the most interesting of the year. He looked overawed by the occasion on a Thursday night against Collingwood, with some questioning his intensity at the contest. He came back in Round 22 and played a full game against Gold Coast, which was his break out game, picking up 16 touches and 3 great goals in the victory.

There is a lot to like about Karl. Quick, skilful, X factor, he just needs to make sure he continues to develop, doesn’t take the season for granted and he could become a consistent member of our first 22.

He could be a surprise packet of our draft. I look forward to seeing him in the preseason games.

Just saw the fox sports tv spot with Karl, really inspiring stuff.

As someone who had different but similar physical issues growing up (unfortunately mine lasted a bit longer) and now being able to play footy (at a much lower level than Karl would you believe) I think I'll adopt him as one of the players from another club that I will follow closely from now on.

Had a bit of a laugh at the two blokes having a conversation about a night out before being told to shut it.

With a leg like Karl has to pick him up at #68 gawww blimey

To be honest I saw him for the first time and how much talent he has against the Suns last year, this bloke could be a bloody champ... ridiculous he isn't getting a run in the port team. Got named as an emergency today

How determination and hard work took Power’s Karl Amon from hospital bed to Port Adelaide
ALAN Hunt remembers Karl Amon as a cheeky kid in leg braces trying his best to kick a footy.
“He was running around, or almost hopping around, with a big smile on his face and giving absolutely everything a crack while he was wearing these calipers on his legs,” Hunt recalled.
“I thought, ‘gee this kid has got some spunk’, not knowing that a few years later he’d be playing AFL.”
Amon was born with Perthes disease, a childhood disorder caused by a disruption of blood flow to the ball of the femur.
