Libba Jnr supposedly better than tom at the same age

That was said a couple of years ago. Is it still being said?

I thought I'd read somewhere that Oliveratore had shifted his focus away from footy.

His playing at Calder I've been told, not sure Tony wants him to pursue football tho

Next year.

Looks like a top 10 pick next year.

Doubt it. Tom played in the U16's Vic metro state side. Oliver wasn't even selected in the U15's and U16's squad.

I keep hearing that but I don't reckon. Sounds to me like he'll slide a bit.

If he does a lot of teams are making a mistake. Gun.

Rate your view on the young uns Wiz! What sort of player would you compare him with?

I'd be careful getting too excited, afraid to put a big moz on him.

I'd compare him to a young Sloane though
key word, young Sloane.

He is a bit like Selwood from the bits that I have seen. Can kick goals, Strong in the waist, strong tackler, wins the ball inside/outside & gets plenty of it. Built like a brick ********* for a 17yo.

That's hilarious because young Joel Selwood used to get compared to Scott West.

Is he as slow as his Dad?

Cheers boys, both obviously sound great. Think we're still lacking someone like that to take a bit of pressure off Bont and co. Sounds like he might be able to rest forwad alright too? Pretty important for bev. What's his pace like

 

[Wizard17]

Looks a little quicker. Very agile so it might make him seem a little faster.

 

[dogwatch]

Thanks.

What we DON'T need is another one-paced midfielder. Not saying we should knock back the FS opportunity but we have a lot who are just average pace.

I remember Scott West kicked 5 from a HFF against the Bombers at the WO early in his career and he looked like he had a bit of toe but later in his career he turned out to be pretty slow for a midfielder. Made up for it with great ball-winning ability and vision but we really do need some classy ball users in the midfield with a bit of zip.

I hope he's a better (longer) kick than his Dad too.

 

[boydsno1]

West kicked 7 didn't he?

 

[dogwatch]

West kicked 7 didn't he?

We were both wrong. It was 6 goals, 24 April 1993. Never kicked more than 3 in a game other than that.

Del-Re also kicked 6 that day

Lol at the Caleb comparison!

Left or right footer?

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Steve's actually stuffed up the date. You have to turn 18 of the same year that the draft takes place, so 18 years from now is 2035, not 2034!
