Marvin Baynham 88 jump record breaker. 198 American basketballer

never heard of him til now, but judging by his college stats i am not surprised.

found this:



looks like a centre/pf stuck in a sf's body from those highlights.

I'm still watching and waiting for something to happen....


15 minutes and waiting....

It happened already, you just have terrible reaction times it seems...

Edit: it seems someone, incredibly, has beaten me to this extremely witty joke.

 

[Teriyakicat]

Know Nakia personally.

Lol- seems you two would be close...

Haha- it's funny the second time around, don't worry!
(My reaction time precludes me from getting it the first time )

 

[Rainfall]

Lol- seems you two would be close...

Why is this?

 

[Teriyakicat]

Why is this?

Ah, dammit! I was thinking his surname was Rainbow- but that's another bloke! Grr!


Edit: Dillon Viojo-Rainbow is who I was thinking of.

What's Cockatoo like- as a person and as a player?

 

[Pivo]

Know Nakia personally.

Good guy? Seemed pretty amiable from the brief clip and looks to be able to play.

Was talked up during the Champs as NT's best prospect.

DAY TWO DRAFT COMBINE RESULTS
20 metre sprint results
Marvin Baynham 2.81secs
Oleg Markov 2.87
Jarrod Pickett 2.87
Reece McKenzie 2.87
Connor Menadue 2.88
Nakia Cockatoo 2.90
Ed Langdon 2.92
Paddy Brophy 2.93
Conor McKenna 2.93
Nathan Drummond 2.93

Agility results
Clem Smith 8.09secs
Daniel McKenzie 8.10
Conor McKenna 8.12
Jarrod Pickett 8.13
Teia Miles 8.27
Lukas Webb 8.28
Josh McGuinness 8.33
Billy Stretch 8.33
Kyle Langford 8.36
Jack Lonie 8.37

Repeat sprint results
Nakia Cockatoo 23.93secs
Nathan Drummond 23.95
Daniel Nielson 23.99
Daniel McKenzie 24.02
Ed Langdon 24.06
Oleg Markov 24.14
Connor Menadue 24.14
Conor McKenna 24.16
Matthew Goodyear 24.49
Jack Hiscox 24.36

I like seeing the names of Smith, Webb and Miles featuring in the Agility Test but the name that stood out in the repeat sprints was Daniel Nielson.

That is good form for a fullback type (probably means he has good closing speed). Being an Eastern Ranges player Vdubs would know a bit about him.

 

[Turbocat]

gee the kid Cockatoo just reads dynamite

 

[OzeSparky]

gee the kid Cockatoo just reads dynamite

and won the kicking test.

DAY 3 WRAP

[Pure_Ownage]

Cockatoo is interesting may bolt after smashing the combine like brad hill did.

Reece mckenzie is the bolter off those results,reckon he goes 1st round now.

Drummond i am liking for a late pick (although i dont think we will be using late picks this year), he reminds me a bit of murdoch.

Still liking weller for 1st round though.

You like Weller, Wells likes someone you haven't even thought of

Would be rapt with Weller with our first. Happy to jump on the Cockatoo bandwagon to take him with our second (if we have a reasonable one).

 

[Claude Balls]

Cockatoo is a utility who has been injured, so Wells will be very interested.

Personally I'd like a player with a clear role that they excell at, who hasn't been injured.

 

[Spemonie]

I want Conor McKenna. Irish kid but since we already have one he would go Rookie cat A, and wait till Blitz is officially promoted.

Play with Reece at school and good mates with him, considering he's 105kg and 196cm, he's doing pretty well. Also did well on the agility test with a 8.5 seconds. Again, consider his 105kg frame.
And Paige Cardona said "turning circle of a ship."
Please.

He is off to Essendon.

 

[Partridge]

and won the kicking test.

Anyone know how the kicking tests actually work?

Anyone know how the kicking tests actually work?

Something like there are a set of numbered cones which the player stands with his back to. On command he's given a number and expected to spin around and hit the target.

The fact Gary Rohan is a past winner gives some idea of its utility, and pretty sure clubs have much more sophisticated ways of measuring kicking internally.

After watching Hawthorn in the last 6 weeks of the season, I wouldn't be averse to many more hours of kicking tests for every player.
