Ohhh Errol
Norm Smith Medallist
Pretty impressive to be that relaxed in front of a camera. Maybe that's the key to public speaking anxiety, run 3 hours in 36 degree heat. Not one * given after that.

Yeah also seems very down to earth, and the sort of kid that understands where he's at and what he needs to do.....Love his enthusiasm to be a shinboner. I am really liking every selection in this draft. Particularly in context of TT next season and potential FS selections.Not worried, bottom age transfer from soccer who is quick, has endurance and decent skills already.
Has a fair frame and the body will fill out with age and the AFL system.
Reckon soccer has benefited him massively with his positioning and awareness. It's such a tactical sport.Something about this kid that really sets him apart is his ability to accumulate - which is really difficult to teach.
Even having not played footy for an extended period, he's able to read the play correctly and his running patterns are excellent.
Will surprise a few.
Yeah a few years ago when I played I took a year off footy and played a season of soccer with some mates. Even for one year at an amateur, social level for both sports when I went back to footy I noticed a massive difference in spatial awareness and the feeling of composure and time in traffic as well as in knowing when to collect freeze frame game mental 'pictures,' if you like. I can't imagine the benefit it would have for a kid who grew up playing it and committed full time to footy late on.Reckon soccer has benefited him massively with his positioning and awareness.

Who the hell keeps doing these player comparisons, they are atrocious.
It's stunning, a lot to work with.The improvement curve in the end statistic is the stat to notice.
It's second only to Andrew Brayshaw out of the top 24 picks.
Would be interested to see that split into the first and second half of the season, i think there was a post earlier saying he had some really impressive stats over the last 12 games last year.
Huge upside with this kid, especially if he can develop his physique to compete with afl mids.
If it's CD it's based on statistics like contested/uncontested split, where they get the football, what they do with it, % of contests won in each part of ground etc. They're probably closer than pure eyeball comparisons.Who the hell keeps doing these player comparisons, they are atrocious.
The problem with that is, you get about half a dozen comparisons each to Levi Greenwood and Douglas in the top 20, it makes you question the stats a bit.If it's CD it's based on statistics like contested/uncontested split, where they get the football, what they do with it, % of contests won in each part of ground etc. They're probably closer than pure eyeball comparisons.
It actually makes sense though. How many Pendleburys, Selwoods, Bonts etc do you get in each top 20? Maybe one. Much more likely to get a role player. Won't get a lot of juniors taken past pick 15 which will have a statistical fingerprint identical to Josh Kelly.The problem with that is, you get about half a dozen comparisons each to Levi Greenwood and Douglas in the top 20, it makes you question the stats a bit.
Averages less than 20 disposals and under a goal a game playing in multiple high possession Adelaide sides, so we'll have to agree to disagree on him.Also you vastly underrate Douglas. Had a very good career.
Almost identical stats to Wells who was no crab.Averages less than 20 disposals and under a goal a game playing in multiple high possession Adelaide sides, so we'll have to agree to disagree on him.
