Don't worry about Serong's leg speed - his great skill is reading the play faster than others. That's what makes top players - not speed in itself.

Hang on, just need to warm up for next year:

“Get a kick, Serong!!”

Yes, that will do nicely. Okay we’ll take him.

He has been compared to Robbie Gray, who also isn’t that quick but uses his smarts and agility to impact. Serong is similar is he not. Sometime people say end to much time on athletic results over actual performance

Robbie Gray has much better agility and evasiveness than Serong, he was able to thrive being a small, slower mid due to his ability to side step or maneuver his body in ways that made it hard to tackle him. So far Serong hasn't shown any of that, he's just out muscled other underdeveloped kids, which obviously won't translate to the AFL very well.

I see, I don’t watch enough U18 to have an expert opinion so thanks for the info.

I just have reservations on the other players we are linked with.

Stephens being another James Aish
Kemp with his knee and no clear position.

Serong has the runs on the board and has performed to a high level 2 years in a row

I can’t decide between
Serong - Tom Papley clone, both small forward and mid

Kemp - could be the inside bull we need to help Cripps

Stephens - outside run, him and LOB on the wings is Brad Hill and Issac Smith

Easy
1. Stephens - he gives us more attacking run
2. Kemp - acl is still a concern
& no to Serong - I'm just not sold on him

Imagine getting Cooper Stephens along with Kemp -

Cripps-195, Setterfield-192, Kemp-192+, Kennedy-190 and Stephens-188+....and these would only be our midfielders. :)

I don't mind it. Would create fierce competition for spots.

3 play and 2 continue to push for selection via Northern.

Apparently Teague is all for Kemp.
I'd imagine that a new coach may sometimes not be as patient as to have to wait a year before he can have his new charger on the ground, but if Teagues is as keen as he's supposed to be then maybe that our first may make for an easy call should our man find his way there.

Where have we got this from?

A lot of talk about Gould's poor testing, but i would have thought a 3.12 20m time for a small forward/mid like Serong would make a potential Top 10 bidder nervous.

The time matches the eye too.

178cm...3.12 sec sprint time...Top 10 Pick?...Not sure.

You don’t read my posts any more.

I thought we were friends.

Herald sun says Melb will trade 8 down with one of GC, Cats, Hawks and Port.

Blues to take Serong after bidding on Henry.

I will be irritated if Stephens is there and we pass (which they predict although they have stuffed up because they say Melb will trade 8, not mention who with and don’t nominate a player at 8).

Where do they have Kemp and Weightman going?

Do they have Robertson sliding in their phantom?
