He's Ethiopian. He can run.

He tested just over 6 min for the 2k. I've seen him work his ass off (running up and down) in a game and probably to his detriment but the kid loves to run. He just needs to be taught how to cover the ground intelligently. It's not innate.

He's not Rioli quick but he's not far off, for a guy his size its impressive.
I’m not sure why being Ethiopian means that he can run. Anyway he is born to Sudanese parents in an Ethiopian refugee camp. Please refrain from stereotypes as it doesn’t help anyone.

A lot of rubbish gone...

Talk football, express your opinion, disagree with opinions, and be prepared for people to disagree.

If being disagreed with by more than one person is 'bullying' in your world, find a new world.

It's fine. It doesn't bother me.

I'm not immune to criticism but I've had no issue with putting my point across, IMO. In any case we'll all be hindsight geniuses in a few years.

Just to clarify, the comment about 'bullying' was certainly not directed at you.
 
Would anyone be surprised if Hollands was available with our pick and was overlooked? If Sydney select Will Phillips, then I can see Wright going for DGB with pick 4 instead.

Pick 1: Adelaide - McDonald
Pick 2: North Melbourne - Tilthorpe
Pick 3: Sydney ?
Pick 4: Hawthorn ?

I can guarantee you if we had pick 1 it would still be Hollands. We rate him the best player in this draft.
 
Combine. Combine results. You said combine.
Yes I know, it’s not on record because he didn’t finish top 10 but people who attended said he was pretty much dead last. Do you think combine results are more important than game day?

Good mail that the Crows do too, and will take him at 1.
 
To get this back on track, I’d love to take Phillips (if we don’t get Treloar). I fear Clarko would turn Hollands into another half back flanker for us.

And I don’t love the idea of taking a key defender with a top pick. Even if he’s a star, you can find reliable defenders in the latter years as we have shown over the last decade.

I know people on here rate Hollands’ and it appears the club does to but to take him over McDonald is madness. No acl and Hollands playing a full year this year (no COVID) and I’m not sure he would be in front of McDonald, let alone with the knee?

Elite, hard working forward dominating against men. And doing Kennedy’s training program this year is a big tick as it speaks to his professionalism.

Happy to be wrong but Hollands’ reminds me of LDU. Both insanely talented but feel Hollands’ will come way back to the back at the top level much like LDU. Where others like McDonald, DGB and Phillips will flourish.

McDonald is irrelevant to us. It won't matter if Adelaide decide to take Hollands first because North will definitely take McDonald then.

I doubt Sydney would pass up on him either if for some reason both Adelaide and North both pass up on him.

‘west Africans as power athletes and East Africans as endurance athletes. Not even the most woke groups ever would tackle that. It’s simply genetics.
I also like CJ cos he’s magnificent to watch, just hoping the long term impact matches that.
