That Rusling character

[Lockyer24]

For those wondering wtf this guy looks like, here ya go...looks a fair athlete from the photos Ive seen (lets just hope he can get the ball)

Kingsley Hunter Jr ?

Check out the speed gun

Check out the speed gun

Here's a couple also from TMN;

Although the 2nd one is bad quality, it shows how much height he has in relation to Taz - the fact that he is pretty much the quickest at the club at THAT height is something to get pretty excited about.

I like his weight too 85 kgs. It means he won't have to put on too much weight which will cause him to lose his speed and therin his advantage.
I see him as a dangerous winger/hff, like Lockyer24 said I hope he can find the ball.

Looks like a fair unit.

For the first time in quite a while we have a draft to be excited about.

Egan, Iacobucci, Rusling and Cloke are all good picks.
Egan could be anything from a dud forward pocket to a top midfielder.
Rusling is still a big smokey but looks to have amazing athelticism for his size. But if he cant get the ball then its no use.
Iacobucci looks like the most consistant/steady/solid of the bunch and more of an all round player however could become another Dane Swan type.
Just trying to balance the pros with cons.

I think his schoolboy stats and gossip say that he can get it and use it relatively well.

The main concern for mine is, does he have what it takes to get his head over the ball, back into packs etc. at higher levels of competition. The last thing we need's another Danny Roach!

Still, no concerns over his physical shape, pace and athletic ability. Wish we could have picked these types up in 2002.

He certainly looks to be physically mature , hopefully he can mix it with the big boys.

Looks good!.

He has all the attributes, that's for damn sure. He is struggling with the fitness aspect but that is expected from first year recruits. It's a big step up from schoolboy to AFL! He is certainly no twig either. His arms look quite developed for a first year player.

If he can get the ball AND USE IT, I will start creaming my pants now.

When i ventured down to training the other day I did notice Rusling and the rest of this years draftees getting the Mick malthouse personal care service....Noticed a few things as they were going through it all just a few paces away from me...Rusling's height appears almost key position suited, sure he is listed at 189cms but he seemed taller, dont know if it was the fact he was broader across the chest and shoulders but he certainly had a physique on him...Was listening to Ruslings's responses to Micks' instructions re the drills they were to undertake and he seemed fairly assured in his understanding of them and had a confidence in how he responded to the great man...Shows a bit about his maturity and perhaps he may not be overly intimidated by his surrounds..granted the other kids were not shrinking around their surrounds either but Rusling seemed to be the most vocal.
Perhaps somewhat of concern was Ruslings stamina.He sucked in his breaths like they were going to be his last and blew out like he was putting out a fire. I guess that will come to pass with this being his only real first pre-season.....What i suggest next time you have you camera handy is take a couple of shots of Iacobucci and Tex Walker....Iacobucci who was working in the same group looked like a Paul Licuria clone with the bulging legs and massive guns. He is big but not in the Mark mcgough /Shackelton sense of the word, the kid looks athletic.As for Walker...he looks like he could bench press a small car and then some...If someone can only make him a little 'angrier' me thinks we could have an intimidiating enforcer on our hands....
