Yup hopefully show enough in patches for big upside but not too much that we miss out because they get bid early.

Gee Doug Kerr looks a good size and had elite agility testing to go with it.

This one is Doug and Pies VFL listed 205cm ruck, Boston

Does he use his size well or is he like Allan?

Hard to tell yet. I've only seen him play this one game, where the the players struggled to get their hands on the ball. But his pressure was good, laid 5 tackles. Big game v sandy on saturday @ RSEA. Always gets a big crowd, bit of a rivalry here.

I told him last night he should throw his weight round, he's bigger than these kids and trained with men in the preseason.

I'll upload some footage.

Thanks Jen.

Great to see Saverio back at the club. Already up to their dad’s shoulders at 13 and 14, they’re going to be tall.

Max and Marcus… come on Roccas, we know what you were shooting for, and yes I look forward to being entertained.

I love this thread. It’s where ‘hope’ is born and nurtured along until…Sav’s son elects to go to North.

But seriously, I do love reading about the kids of past players, and God knows we’ve been well served in recent years (measured by the whinging and whining of the less well served clubs).

The Lonie and McGuane boys look good?

P.S. not sure if she’s mentioned on here, and possibly not because she’s in South Aus, but Violet Patterson, daughter of Stephen Patterson, is also looking the goods for joining our AFLW team.

I like how they write only about 178cm. Not too concerned there, bulk can be fixed.

Height can be overrated.

I'm about 178 and I played Goal Keeper in mixed netball for a while and played on blokes well over 6ft and beat them handily through an ability to read the play/ball. I'm also fairly blessed with an ability to jump higher than someone my height should.

Which helped a lot lol

Let’s hope we get to see some 70m bombs for goal in the future. Nick Daicos to ROCCCAAA. Bloody nostalgia.

The issue arises when you vs someone equally skilled and athletic but 10cm taller and an extra 20cm reach aerially.

Conversely ground ball pick up and agility will always favour the 178cm guy over the 198cm bloke and likely acceleration over 5m too.

Equally bulk on a big frame with same strength / skill will win out in a contest too, as they carry more weight giving that slight advantage.

We all shapes and sizes have different strength and weakness, I think it’s when you have too many of a type rather then diversity of types that it becomes an issue. Don’t want a team full of short people getting bullied off the ball weekly, or a slow less agile/explosive team of 190cm cruisers either.

I once coached a basketball team of mainly Sudanese kids. We had 4 on the team who could dunk from a two foot standing jump. Used to intimidate the * out of other teams in a dynamic warm up without balls and then a couple of dunking drills. Unfortunately all the boys were straight from refugee camps and hadn't played basketball before - we were ******* hopeless once the game started.

But seriously - you're talking about playing tall as a 178cm player in your mixed netball team...if the boys I'm talking about had have come from 10 years of basketball - their height and leap would have demolished the teams they played against.

I get that.

Hence why I said "can be overrated"

In the context of his height automatically being perceived as a negative.

Yeah fair call but Nick and Josh are already smaller sized mids/winger.
So hopefully he can at least get their height of 183cm.

Pendles is 190cm but doesn't often use his size physically.

Jordy also big but likes to burst out into space or through a tackle rather then crash in.

That crash in mid is what we lack and one that can defend the front of the stoppage well.

Undersized mids can still be good inside. Mitchell is for us. Tom Atkins is a great one

 

[Jen2310]

Plenty of small mids out there, if they have weapons, their height doesn't often matter. And he's very creative with ball in hand from what ive seen in a small sample. But Tommy will likely grow a little bit given he's not even 17 until August.

I'm already calling it, the McGuane kid is no good.

 

[Rooosterboy]

I would go camping rather than watch that mate.

I went camping when Tigers played Giants, best decision

 

[Jen2310]

Tough loss for oakleigh. But sandy is a very good side.
Chargers were 1.6 going into half time v 7.8. Did well to claw it back a little.
Leaky defence. Conceded 12 goals..
