Josh Rudd

[Pepi]

This kid is a gun was overlooked last year but I believe he could be a great player if the cats drafted him...any thoughts?

Highly talented, but lacks the height to be a KPP and the leg speed to play anywhere else.

Doesn't have the right body, unfortunately.

He played great in the geelong falcons and was really upset when he didn't get drafted

He is about 192cm and a dynamo in the weights room so I’d say he is definite KPP prospect. Strength is often underestimated in the draft. I was shocked when Josh Rudd was not rookied, I am a big fan. He has had a huge first year in the VFL. The sport 97.4 boys love him and have included him in a few of their stories.

He is a midfielder/goal kicker but he was also Vic Country full back for 2 or 3 years and TAC team of the year.

Unfortunately he doesn’t fit at Geelong for two reasons. First, his dad is a half-caste and Geelong have never been big on Aboriginal players. Second, he is a local and the Cats are reluctant to Rookie list locals.

Having said that, no other club wanted him either. I’d love to have him at Carlton – Pagan’s new “Gorilla” now that MM is gone.....

Both of those coments are untrue.

I haven't seen him play at all but he seems a good size and apparently is very good friends with GAJ

Yep, that certainly explains why one of our two most celebrated footballers ever is Aboriginal.
