[Harlequin]

Love it. Makes those wankrs who think kids don't want to come to Essendon look dumb

And debunks the myth that parents don't want their kids playing under Hird

 

[Autobahn]

Bio: Tall defender/forward who excelled at both ends of the ground this year. Reads the play exceptionally well in the air, has clean hands and provides run from defence. Finished equal-second in the kicking test at the NAB AFL Draft Combine (scoring 28/30) and recorded 8.36 sec in the agility run. Excelled late in the season as a prolific ball-winning midfielder for the Northern Knights in the TAC Cup, averaging eight marks and demonstrating his aerial skills. Averaged 14 possessions in his five appearances in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

WTF? Not a panic merchant... so disappointed

 

[Jobe]

Brilliant pick
Welcome to EFC

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Still only 17 and at 190cm he might even grow a bit more.

 

[Shermy]

Lid is is starting to move from the on position

 

[DonsRule]

[daz17]

[Aussie Assault]

First page of his player thread so in 15yrs time I can reminisce about how cool I was back then.

Welcome aboard Kyle.

 

[bombers21]

He looks like the next Fyfe. That's not much pressure on the kid

 

[The Dustbin]

Welcome Kyle!

Is he a defender, forward or midfielder? His bio claims he can do all 3!

 

[yaco55]

Question for our resident draft watchers.

Who is more likely to play in 2015.

Langford or Laverde.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Welcome buddy!

3rd tall defender hopefully.

 

[Donakebab]

Still waiting on the celebration being made into a gif...

 

[Big Fresh]

Question for our resident draft watchers.

Who is more likely to play in 2015.

Langford or Laverde.

Langford is really, really skinny. I doubt he'll play any time soon.

So we have a potential 195cm mid on our hands and our other pick up is 189cm mid.

Our spine of Hurley, Hooker, Daniher and Carlise is one of the best young spines going around. Yet if these two can get regular midfield games alongside Heppell, Goddard, Myers and Watson our midfield will be nearly as big!!!
