He did some running today including the yo-yo test, but thats as far as his participation went, so clearly got some sort of niggle.

No only did he mark really well, his disposal off both sides was impressive

Agree I was pleased with his Kicking was
especially for someone negative was his Kicking
Is he a chance at a game this year? There is a KPD spot available.

Apparantely was told after that game he will be in consideration for the sub for the carton game, but most likely will be the emg.

After yesterday I actually think so, all 3 of the new draftees look like they can play

I thought he was the pick of the bunch

That'd be a surprise. They must really rate him. And it would suggest that they're not yet locked in to bringing a tall into the 22 for Reef.
I can't see how he would be considered ahead of Allan, Sullivan or Hoskin-Elliott. But I can see how he would be in a position to leapfrog Parker, Dean, Ryan and Jiath to make the list of emergencies though which would be huge for him in itself.

For a club that was mercilessly canned for not hitting the draft/having a weak draft and trading in experienced AFL players at the expense of youth, we seem, at this early juncture, to have really nailed our draft picks from last year. All 3 look a very good chance of becoming quality long-term players and all 3 fill a need for the club. By the time the inevitable retirements roll around, I think we’ll have some handy ready-made replacements with 1 (Cochran, Hayes, West) and 2-3 (Jiath, DeMattia,Ryan, Smit,Steene, Harrison, Parker and especially Allan) years of VFL experience.
Not all will probably make it but I expect most of them will. At this stage I’ve put a line through Fin and Dean but would be happy to be proven wrong. Reef coming back from an ACL is a big unknown but I’m hoping he gets another shot at it.

If he does it will almost certainly be as a delist-then-rookie.

On Sunday he had some very promising Moments
Especially in Traffic made some good
Runs and used ball well when he got out

I agree - he's athletically gifted, and shows some very good signs.
Long term, he could be the Darcy Moore replacement.

I think he might go past Ryan and TJ as a back flanker pretty quickly, but can he play tall?

They might be giving him more of a running role because he's missed a bit of pre season. He's tall and athletic enough. We probably need him to develop into a key defender though, because we are lacking in that department

Against Coburg it looked on tv like Ryan was playing KPD and Cochrane as a flanker.

Yeah, could be trying to get some miles in his legs. Very good prospect though
Could be a reason why Syd didn’t match. I think they wanted a genuine KPD and don’t view Cochran as being one.
His Draft profile supports what he played like on the weekend,
SNAPSHOT: “A mobile tall defender capable of intercept marking and chaining possessions on the rebound with repeat overlap run.” – Michael Alvaro
Fine with me as he looks decent early on.

While Joel faded a little in the second half of last night's vfl game, I'm impressed with his skill-set, CFC has a lot to work with this player. One of the most pleasing aspects of his game for me is that he is a one touch player, he picks up the lose ball below his knees effortlessly for a 195 cm player.

I like the look of this kid too. Might ‘attach’ myself to him, and make unrealistic demands about when he should play and whom he should replace (like I did with Ginni and then Parker last year).
Charlie West already has plenty of unrealistic supporters.

It's important to have a favourite VFL guy whose train you're on. Means you can really moan when the AFL team is announced. But be careful Vicky. You've got to know when to get off the train. The poor souls still stuck on the Finn Macrae train are going to have to try to hitchhike their way back from the Gulags.

He's quite the quiet achiever. Playing more as a second or 3rd tall but there's no denying his ability. Very good start to his career and looks like a future player
