Has anyone found out yet who the tall "Sudanese-type" (I don't think they come in any other size!) standing at the back in the group photo on page 8 is? I'm sure I saw him in another photo from last night's game against Richmond, but I can't see it anywhere now!

He was in one of the tweeted photos in the VFL practice match thread. I can’t find it either, but I haven’t checked every page.

Ted Summerton ?

Ted Summerton ?

Probably not, but a very clever answer!!

To disprove that you need to track down the real Ted Summerton...

The plot thickens... great detective work btw

Thanks. Yes, I did mention that he was also in that earlier photo, so he has obviously been there for a fair while during the off-season and presumably will be on our list.

Probably on the VFL Rookie List

Probably on the VFL Rookie List

Seems likely, apparently senior list of 25 again next year. 24 confirmed and Jordan Kelly makes a complete senior list of 25.

Good work Dave. So attending StKevins, does that put him in our NGA area? Will he line up at Oakleigh?

 

[TradeDraft]

Jok be on Rookie List

 

[35Daicos]

Good work Dave. So attending StKevins, does that put him in our NGA area? Will he line up at Oakleigh?

He played for the Dandenong Stingrays a few years back and was invited to the Draft Combine in 2015; he then played TAC Cup again as an "overager" in 2016. So he should be turning 21 some time this year. He's been playing for St. Kevin's in the VAFA and was named in the VAFA squad for a representative game last season.

Jok represented the VAFA on a tour of Ireland last October. Nick Reeves-Smyth (Old Ivanhoe), who is also now playing for our VFL side, was another who went on that trip.

Damn

Jordan Kelly (30 games for club in 2016-17): “Jordan has had some body issues in the last year that have crept into this year and he’s going to have an operation on his hip that’ll cause him to miss most of the season.”

I have seen a bit of Thomas Jok. He was very quick and he tended to play sort of wing. If he got it, and he often did, he was away. From memory his skills were pretty good and that wasnt the issue. I think the issue was more he was very inconsistent and he tended to clutch at the footy and hence fumbled it a bit at times but he certainly read the play reasonably well. I thought he was on the cusp in either 15 or 16.
