obviously i can't read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[stkildathunda]

We left after that!!

He is a bit of a lurker though.

This is the only pic I can find of him over there.

Altitude training seems to be working

 

[Squizz]

Found another one - how did he shrink? Must be an optical illusion.

 

[Squizz]

Although that's not the only shrinkage.

yikes!!!

 

[hayes]

Got a bit of size about him does Webster. Needs a big year, and I reckon he knows it.

Hopefully not a Crocker 2.0.

I think the only thing they have in common is that they're both left-footed. Jimmy looks probably twice the size of Crocker (that's more of an indictment on how skinny Crocker is), and IIRC Squizzy mentioned he was able to win the ball in close and knew what he was doing in congestion. Fingers crossed he makes it because he looks to have all the tools to become a good player.

In his first VFL Seniors game 100% sure he was named in the "Best". Then the next week played crap and dropped to development squad.

He played 3 games in seniors in a row and then dropped back to the Dev Squad

Might have been the 2nd game he was named in the best.

 

[saintsrfreak]

Webster plays similarly to Fyfe doesn't he?

 

[hayes]

I think most mock drafts had him as a quick winger/HB with good foot skills.

 

[aussierulesrules]

I've read that he played/plays a similar sort of game to Clinton Young. On the outside mainly, but with the capacity to be an "80m player" thanks to his ability to run with the ball and then thump it 60m on his left foot. tbarker reckons he's got a bit of the Nicky Dal's about him though, which is interesting.

Apparently there were some pretty big wraps and expectations on him coming into his draft year, based on his previous form, but that he then had a couple of injuries that derailed his season, resulting in him slipping down to the early 40's in his draft.

If he gets his body in order and puts in the hard yards, he could have a very good career, by the sounds of it.
