[Tiger_Of_Old]

Lucky boy x2.
Survived a lightning strike & being picked up by us.

& not WestCoke

 

[Bojangles17]

I get the impression with our r3 plus picks our recruiters MO is to look for the “lightly raced types” , both draftees only in system for a short while and showing plenty , feeling must be ceiling is HIGH

 

[bc27]

WA captain. Knows how to find the footy and has shown it at senior WAFL level. Elite endurance and quality agility testing numbers. Low center of gravity which is a great quality to have as an inside mid.

Will surprise a few people this kid. A bit of Jack graham

type of story.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Both picks are short so any ceiling would be high by comparison...

 

[energyquant]

Apparently we had him as a top 20 talent on our draft board, can't believe he slid to pick [55], great young fella, tough as nails, thrilled to be coming to Richmond.

Lachie Neale

Exactly what I thought. Same height. Same sort of kick and ferocity at the ball

 

[Dr Tigris]

Reckon we've learnt something and don't see size as all important. If we can get it great. But a really good player who is short is still a really good player. Don't want too many, but looks a good pick up.

 

[Toadvine]

I know the club has done a lot of research on which "types" of players suceed with later picks.

Steely definitely seems a likely type. Lo e the pick

 

[prodigy]

Sounds like he knew!

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

this boy looks tough and classy, a little undersized but i think he has what it takes to find a role in an AFL system, we have a great strike rate with late picks so i am backing the recruiters

 

[GoTigers2015]

Apparently we had him as a top 20 talent on our draft board, can't believe he slid to pick [55], great young fella, tough as nails, thrilled to be coming to Richmond.

That means that Kaleb Smith was also rated a top 20 talent

 

[Bojangles17]

After listening to a few steely Dan tunes , is anyone else keen to hear from his mum , they’re better than I remembered

See my post in that thread.

I wish i could say that Essendon hasn't won a final since I was born

Go one better and have a kid tomorrow and have him announce that as a fact when he's your current age[emoji4]

On SM-J250F using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Grrr]

Plenty of room for a small dynamic mid, Bolton has shown that although not a true mid, as we have a bit of weight in our pack now with Tarranto and Hopper long term players. His high level of aggression will help as well.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Looks too much like jack Higgins for mine.
Hope he goes well

Looks like he’s 10x better kick. Missy couldn’t hit the side of a barn

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Sounds like he knew!

Sounds like an eshay

 

[Bojangles17]

Only thing standing in way of this kid making it is if he fails to add weight , can’t see why not unless his parents are jockeys , has all the traits to be afl Std
We have time to put him away for 18 mths

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Brilliant...ought to get Steely's mate down to Tigerland as well...kid has a future as an interviewer!

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Steely resolve for Green 'draft bolter'

Steely Green is a name that many have become synonymous with, and the draft bolter has put himself in a good place to be drafted.
