Can his medical condition be corrected?

And if so, will that correction allow him to do all that is necessary to be an elite footballer playing in AFL ranks?
I remember them talking about it on the AFL Trade Radio show saying surgery wouldn't fix it. Basically his heart beat maxes out at something like 130BPM, whereas the average AFL player's would go up to around 200BPM. When he hits 130BPM or whatever it is, his heart can't pump the blood quickly enough through his body and he fatigues and cramps up. Because of this it's also hard to get any conditioning and build on his endurance.

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard of any of it, so Josh Toy has to be lost to the AFL, as Sin City pointed out.

Hi Lads, one who I was really suprised to see miss out, in any form, was Mack Byron Pendergast, 205cm monster from East Freo with a vertical leap on par with Nicky Nat, he wasn't the fittest kid going round but he was good at ground level and had a crack. Reflectin back on the draft thought it seems as though Dean Cox's words on clubs having patience when recruiting ruckman were not heeded.

If he does OK at East Freo this year, he could well get drafted in November. Clubs don't want to wait, not even as much as they did 5 years ago.

Frankston have done well.
A little off topic but they have also added former Cat Scott Simpson, former club captain Paul Kennedy, Sandringham guns, Michael Lourey, Jackson Coleman and Chris Irving returns.. So they may be a young side, but should be more than competitive..

In my post at No. 61, There are what I counted 138 names.

There's a draft already there for you.

And with many more names I've missed, there could've been at least 800 names missed out so there's another lot of 18 clubs.
