Not sure if he has too many. Slightly late bloomer, needs to add a little fitness and size and is an impact player.

Somewhere between Rioli's high jumping forward harrassing and Fremantles Yaran, med size quick on the lead.

A guy who will get 10-12 possessions, but have a match winning tackle, big marks and freak goals. Can look like he is having a huge influence, then you get a shock when seeing his stats.

Interesting were developing a harassing forward that cant get on the park in aidyn johnson same sort of size. How is his field kicking and does he have tank/scope to play higher up the ground or traditional forward pocketer?

Johnson needs to be played in a back pocket. He doesn't read the game as a forward.
With the likes of Monfries, Neade, Amon and Houston all ahead of him, He may end up playing a different role for the Maggies.

Sidenote i firmly believe houstons going to have a massive year next year believe in the kid; he played a bit of defence this year iirc strong size already.
 
Willie Rioli got 13.2 beep test. Is that good enough for a small forward? Good on him for losing tones of weight and getting a lot fitter. Always meant to be talented just likes donuts. You'd think his speed and weight are just going to improve as a full time professional.

Jarrod Berry, Oliver Florent, Griffin Logue all went 15.01 at the draft combine.

Billy Hartung (from 2013) holds the record 16.06 I believe.

Yeah he played down back a bit but I remember his best game was up forward vs South I think?

This is true.

There's something different about him. Has some tricks.
 
Conor Noonan. Not a lot of video but you can see why we wanted to look at him. He does a couple of things that look ok on video. He could be a legitimate rookie chance.

13.2 would have been bottom 20% at the national combine, but better than Shain Bolton, Zac Fisher, Ben Jarman who are similar. So yeah it's an ok score for a small forward.

13.2 is poor.

Should be in the 15s.

Only 3 players reached 15s at the combine this year. Only 5 last year. So thats about 5% of the players who tested. 15s is very much the exception, not the norm.

Seriously where is this full beep test score list
 
Ryan's a jet. Would love to draft him - brilliant small forward who is very difficult to contain in the air, but also a one touch assassin on the ground. I reckon he's got AFL quality stamped over everything he does so should make a successful transition.
 
Whoever is best of these ruckmen

Sam Draper (South Adelaide) – 202cm, 100kg
Peter Ladhams (Norwood) – 204cm, 86kg
Andre Parrella (Sturt) – 204cm, 100kg
Jordon Sweet (North Adelaide) – 203cm, 104kg

I'd really like to get with a late pick or Rookie Draft.

The players at the state combine do the repeat sprint on the same day as the beep and I have no doubt this had an detrimental effect on their beep times. At the national combine this doesn't occur.
 
Surprising.

My son and several others at Under 15 level were in the 15s.

Yeah a lot of these guys have produced 15 beep tests in the pre-season. As most of them played the week before it was no surprise to see a drop in testing results at combine.
Also there has been a drop off in pure athletes getting invited to combine which is a good thing.
13.2 is getting to the bottom end of what I feel is the minimum level required to play afl. To me it rules him out of ever being a midfielder. To be honest if you can't do a 13 beep test I would not draft you unless there are special circumstances. Remembering most of these guys have done 3 to 5 beep tests in the last two seasons so recruiters have a fair idea of where they sit for endurance.
 
Kane Cornes asked what we needed on trade radio says good ball user which is fair enough, twomey mentioned scrimshaw and Taranto or stretch for witherden. Think scrimshaw and Taranto will be taken inside the top 7 each. Witherden don't know much about him just that he broke his leg

Witherden plays down here at Geelong. broke his leg playing school footy at the start of the year and obviously still recovering.

havent seen him play, but he is another HBF
