FWIW here are my basketball scouting notes about Mathew (albeit most from 2016)

Speed - Is seriously quick (ran 2.85 over 20m), fantastic lateral quickness and agility.

Great vertical leap for his size

Good awareness and decision making (as PG)

Enormous work rate.

Not sure what his foot skills are like though.

I also think 1.85m is a stretch (he’s closer to 5”11)

He's quite strongly built already but not really defined.
I don't know anything about bball training but Would he have been on a weights program already?

If so is it similar to an AFL program.

I'm just curious because if he's that size and shape without an intense weight regime he could become a little powerhouse with one.

Welcome Matt. But can you go through the midfield?

I swear to god......

 

[passmark]

Can Cat B rookies play straight up or some wankdoodle rule of getting elevated or some other made up crapola.

Jack Higgins type forward for mine.

 

[Jimmae]

Yes, Category B rookies still require an LTI in order to be elevated and available for senior selection.

 

[thylacine60]

so that's why he chose carlton.........

 

[The Bighouse]

Yes, Category B rookies still require an LTI in order to be elevated and available for senior selection.

Which may put them back further this season as the LTI / replacement draft can be utilised up til March.

Christ that's painful.
Cheers for the info.

The writer?

I'm not sure he can even read.

 

[Metalcrusher]

I always thought Brendon Goddard would have made a good point guard.

Point guard. Get it? Point.....

Ah, what do you know from funny you bastards

Coming to America??? Last scene barber shop?

People actually poach cats these days?

I prefer scrambled personally.

 

[passmark]

So is it pronounced

Owies like Lowies or Owies like Powies?

Decided on the Blues. If his onfield decision making is as good as if offield, then we’re in for a treat.

And on-court, point guard and all. Really keen to see how this one pans out.

Thought we were also keen on another Cat B, Aussie but playing gridiron over in the US. Big unit.
Edit: Matthew Panton

Probably to another thread.

That was June, nothing since then & we were also associated with him too (but Coll possibly leading the race).

 

[Funk]

If that....

I think he’d be lucky to be 1.80m personally.

After watching the video he looks about 175cm tall

 

[Funk]

Holy crap. Did you guys hear he's 180-185cm? That's gigantic!






Also, HBF we gotta start playing bball. Apparently the players get measured in shoes!

Its time to bring out the heels ferris....

 

[jooce8891]

Spoke to someone that used to train with Matt. Apparently he was never the most gifted basketballer but he worked harder than everyone else and honed his craft, quickly becoming a star under-ager.

If he brings that work ethic to the Carlton footy club who knows what may eventuate.

if its true, he could lift the training standards even higher. this could honestly be one of the best left field pick ups for a long time.

Can we put Byrne on a LTI list as he is contracted for 2019? Or can we just replace him?
