Tiller

[Juddys_navy_blues]

Can anyone give me any info on Tiller? How is he developing and when can we expect to see him pushing for a senior spot? Any info appreciated.

At one stage pushed his way into the Bullants seniors from the Bullants reserved and kicked a few goals in his first game in the Bullants seniors. Not sure how he has gone since then, which was a few weeks back.

We won't be seeing him play in Navy Blue this season and I wouldn't expect to.

Really as a bottom aged recruit, you wouldn't expect him to play senior footy in his first two years....from what I gather, he is a level headed kid with a good attitude and will give himself the best possible chance at making it......at this stage you'd be looking for him to push for selection into the bullants with some consistent performances in the bullants reserves. His body is still very light and he is restricted with respect to imposing himself physically in contests.....needs time to develop his core strength. The skills are there.

his is listed at 189cm.

would be interesting to know if he has grown a few centimetres which he will need if he is going to turn into a key forward.

just looking at his stats, was born in 1991! wow i feel old.

 

[Mister Carlton]

He has the skills....let's just let him develop before we throw him in the deep end.

his we drafted as 17yr old i think, long term pospect good set of hands... itd say 2 years before you see him in our seniors... i think his also got yr 12 so im guessing his putting his mind into that at the moment and hopefully he puts on a bit of size at the same time

Will become a better player than Jack Watts

I agree that 189cms does seem a little small, but if my memory serves me correctly Fev is listed at 191cms.....
its not much of a difference........
he may well be able to hold down a KFP without growing any further.........
anyway I can't wait to see how he develops, I've only heard good things about him..........

Massive call.........

Massive call.........

Maybe, but he was picked late last draft because it was felt he would be a top 10 pick next draft and we would not be able to grab him.

Fair enough.......Anyone remember Anthony Raso.........?

Always an element of risk in speculative selections but we dont lose much in the gamble, a late draft pick is a gamble no matter what. Be a fair argument to see him play before making comparisons to other picks but it is not unheard of for players to be selected a draft early to secure them.

Saw him play a pretty good game in the Bullants seniors a few weeks ago, but unfortunately, he couldn't do a repeat performance the following week. As Gilly said, a bottom aged recruit, so we need to give him time. Even his coach from the Bushies said prior to the draft last year that he wasn't certain Tiller was even ready to be drafted.

Looks ok at this stage though.

Thanks everyone for your imput. Alot of promising signs and a huge call comparing him to Watts, but if he is going to be that good im happy to wait 2 years to see him.
