Speed is an issue for both of them IMO.
Thompsons first few steps are very quick, Donaghey for his size (192cm) is actually quite quick. Thompson is no slower than guys like Jarnestrom and Bernacki and I like both those players
Charlie Thompson over 5metres speed is well below his own Oakleigh team average.
His 20m is 3.158s which is poor
Jarnestrom is 3.053s & Bernacki is 3.097 (but his speed over 5m is the quickest of all three).
I'd go off what I've seen, Darcy Parish statistically wasn't good there either but still a gun midfielder, maybe it's Thompsons quick thinking that makes him look quicker either way he gets good seperation on his first few steps much like Sam Mitchell
Darcy Parish ran a 3.06s as a 16 yr old & 3.01s in his draft year.
Imma gonna shut up since I don't have the almanac in my head as you do haha
My point is tests don't tell the full story on how quick a player is in game. Certain players could be super quick but they won't use it in a game, my point is Thompson isn't a plodder he thinks and uses the ball quickly although he is prone to trying to take on the opposing player too much and will get caught holding the ball but the intent to move the ball quickly is there
Any luck with statistics mate?

Stats will be released to recruiters and clubs after the long weekend.
Appreciated mate..cheers
Bishop, foj1 and i have decided to make our own Vic Country and Metro teams, anyone else willing to have a go is free to do so, heaps of players very stiff and players that i personally would pick haven't been picked purely going of the history of how teams are picked.
Edit: Garoni in for either Patterson or Atley

Took me a while to look at this - tough task to do as there are always players stiff who don't make it & then players who you can't believe who have made it. Tried to put players in a position as best as possible, but factored in players who I expect to get picked rather than what I would do too

Ive seen nothing that suggests Garoni is even in the squads, if he is i would have him in my Country lineup for sure
100% in squad.
Am i allowed to edit my team then?
Interesting you have West, he is over rated IMO. No Balta? But hasn't done anything so far this year.

Correct
Missed Balta - only had the VM trial squads in front of me minus the academy guys so knew I'd forget someone! Balta's had a poor start to the season, I'd like to see him played at CHB and developed there cause his leading patterns are terrible up forward at the moment.
I like what I've seen of West in the dozen or so games I've seen him play from 16s to this year. Dominated U16s Metro v U17s Metro last year at Warrawee Park, strongly build below the waist cracks in hard. Kicking is his major let down but he's got some good qualities.

All top age Academy kids will play Metro. Would make a mockery of the the Academy process for them to be left out. AFL simply won't let that happen.
Having said that, chuck Angus Styles into Bishop's team at the expense of West and I reckon he's bang in the money.

Balta could be moved and can also play ruck, seems Cannons need some changes in positions to get their season back on track.Correct

West hasn't been anywhere near Cannons best six in any game this year.
I believe that the Metro and Country sides will have final squads of 40? Is this right?Am i allowed to edit my team then?

I know he isn't in the Metro teams or any bodies radar and foj1 doesn't like him, but I do so I would give Brookes a go. Which other small has his speed and leap (recorded 2.70 over 20 meters and 99 cm for running verticle leap).
He only did 2.91 at the last testing and not sure what other results were.
