Going big here.. Reminds me a lot of Scott Pendlebury. Awesome spatial awareness and time seems to slow down when he has ball in hand.
Does he have a basketball background though?

which Kappler? Darren was obviously the faster, but I reckon David was criminally underrated
David was a talent and stayed true to South unlike his brother who ended up being a bit of a journeyman.
#oracleBrayden Cook will go down as a top 3 AFC all time player.

Maybe the best Panthers player I ever saw was Mark Coombe but sadly his career was really over before it started due to his shoulder injury, probably with the major improvements in surgical processes these days he'd have been remembered as an absolute champion of SA football. People carry on about Jason Horne-Francis but this bloke was better at the same age. On Lindsay Backman a very good footballer with brilliant skills and footy smarts but I always classed him as a bit "soft".

Mark Coombe | South Adelaide Football Club
MARK COOMBE - 2002 - THE "GREATEST SOUTH ADELAIDE TEAM" Mark Coombe won the Knuckey Cup as an 18 year old in just his second year of League football for South Adelaide, having finished as runner-up for the award in his debut season with the League team.

Yep - know Slatts pretty well. Super young talent, started when he was 15 or 16. Took one of the best hangars you’ll ever see.what about Wayne Slattery amazing teenage footballer
Coombe was a little before my time but my older brother says he was good
Saw both of them live almost every game they played back then, Wayne Slattery was very good as was Shane Butler but honestly Mark Coombe was on a different level.what about Wayne Slattery amazing teenage footballer

South Adelaide Hall of Fame with some pretty illustrious Panther names.
I'd have Mark Coombe a smidgin in front of Naley more on what could have been than anything, both absolute AA graders, Coombe's elite dual sided kicking gets him over the line for me.Naley was the best I saw; Robin White & Michael Bennett very underrated
used to enjoy watching Darren Troy physically man handle Garry McIntosh so brutally that McIntosh was visibly afraid of Troy. Rightly, he was a wrecking ball straight out of a Stephen King does Country Football novel
Hugo goes alright himself up forward.I can’t stop watching it.
Willunga?Hugo goes alright himself up forward.
Willunga?

Yeah Darren Troy was a beauty, and to think he wasn't getting games at the Cats, if I remember right we had thing going on with the Cats back in the day, another very good player we got over from then was Ruckman Rob Hawkins (brother of Jumpin' Jack Hawkins and Tom's uncle). Talking about tough buggers Alan White wasn't very big but he could handle himself. Some I reckon were underrated were Renz Bais, Geoff Baynes, Eddie Fry, Craig utensil and the Kappler Brothers Darren especially.
Very successful club in the last 20 years. I went to school and played basketball with Todd Steele who captained them to about 6 flags in a row (after a few seasons at South). A lot of SANFL players produced over the years.

Agree, both look like long term players!Liked that the Crows played him on the wing to start. He’s a good size, good pace, poised and skilful. Similar vibes to Schoenberg in his early games. Both could be pretty significant players in our midfield in coming years.
