Senior 8. Jake Kolodjashnij (2014-)

[Gysenn]

They all look odd... but to me it's because the 35 looks like a player jumper, the other 2 look like they have gotten a jumper from the cats shop and just whacked the numbers on there.. slightly different colour to the one printed on and the size is a bit out..

I was thinking that as well... 35 looks like Chappy has left one behind in the locker room. #8 looks especially strange..

Here's Kolodjashnij in #8... Looks very odd.

don't think anyone will fill out #8 like the last bloke did….

Not yet anyway….

well the height debate can be confirmed at least...Jake definitely has a good 2-3cm over Jarrad who's listed at 192cm so that's a good size defender we have for the future as we have been a little undersized (height-wise) in recent years.

It's because there is a heap of space around the 8.. not much with the other 2

Here's hoping. He's got good pace and a good kick. Hopefully with Harry Taylor showing him the ropes he'll be a multiple All Australian by the end of his career.

Hmm, not necessarily. Jansen has been listed as 189/190cm by some, so Kolo could be around the 192cm mark (which has also been reported).

The problem we have is which reports are to be believed? Like you said, its clear there's a couple of cm difference so its either 190cm (JJ) and 192cm (JK) or 192cm (JJ) and 194cm (JK).

Are we sure that's not Rivers , Byrnes and Ballroom ???
For what it's worth Jansen measured 189cm at Colts last week.........

 

[Jon Douglas]

It will be interesting if any these boys will still grow 2-3 cms. Possible. Maybe they will and that would be a good thing IMO.

Worth reading, listed as 193cm in Friday's HS, but going by that pic 189 looks closer to it given he looks around 3cms shorter than Kolo who I have mostly read is 192, except in Friday's HS @ 194!

They could all grow a cm or 2 from here though, so it might still work itself out by next season

Fingers crossed Manboob kept growing until he was 22/3.

In the height department of the manboob department?

 

[thejester]

So it is kolo-jazz-nee. Enormous amount of egg on the face of the podcast team.

 

[manboob]

In the height department or the manboob department?

Height! Manboobs came later. Like a silverback.

How did we say it? I thought that's how I was saying it from the start?

Maybe just egg on my face then, I was saying kolo-dash-nee

 

[manboob]

I wish we had given him number 47. Then he could have been JK-47.

Good chance you're right, these tall kids sometimes can go on growing till 21, but it slows right up.

 

[Catgirl]

He reminds me of a Bartel or Mackie type. Reliable hands, slick movement and seems relatively clean with the ball. Pretty exciting prospect, going off his highlights video.

 

[vinum coupe]

James Toohey, Josh Miller, James Tsitas it is then?

Bingo!

 

[FromDawn2Dark]

Bingo!

Well I got one of them. Still some hope the other 2 could one day wind up at the Cats.

Anyway back to Jake guys....

 

[Catatonic Shock]

Wait!
This guy is a hawks fan?
What happened to our no dickhead policy?!

Hopefully its his only fault as no one can be perfect.

JAKE Kolodjashnij says his future was never anywhere but in the Hoops after signing a three-year contract extension.

The Geelong defender was eligible for restricted free agency at the end of this season but put pen to paper earlier this month on a deal that will keep the 25-year-old at GMHBA Stadium until the end of 2024.

“It was Geelong all the way for me, to be honest,” Kolodjashnij said. “I didn’t really go down that path at all.

“The option was there, but it was a no-brainer for me to re-sign with the Cats when the offer was made.

“I’ve loved my time in Geelong so far, and the club’s been great.”
