Is there a standout Ruckman in this years draft Any athletic freak ruckman over 200cm Is about the same height as Paddy Ryder so I’ll use that as a reference for anyone who thinks he is too small to ruck at AFL level. I reckon Paddy has longer arms then most people his height (and a good leap)...

A number of these boys are bottom agers as well and this is from only one club.

Most clubs would be the same, there is very little between them, a couple of standouts and then the mob.
All this testing doesn't mean a lot IMO, i know quite a few of those players and some don't have great footy smarts or good kicks etc, not saying they are bad players but hopefully they are not drafted on athletic ability as in the long run it doesn't work.

Athletic attributes are great to have in your arsenal but without footy smarts and skills they don't mean much. Clubs are starting to lean more towards footballers these days, they went overboard awhile ago just looking at athletic attributes. However, pace endurance and strength on aomeone who has good skills and smarts can separate them from the pack.Standing VJ

Not sure who you are talking about but Matt Rowell(?) is a Collingwood 6 footer, which means he is about 5'10" as well. (178cm).
Some players who have footy smarts just get to where the ball is quicker despite far slower in pace or beep tests or yo yo tests or whatever.

Totally agree. I was just pointing out that a number of WA Colts players performed just as well as the apparent best in the Country. Expect to see some of those names in 2020.
West Perth will do well next at Colts next year. I think its typically out of character but they introduced a big number of bottom agers this season and came third overall.

Yes Matt Rowell. I dont think I saw his name in many / any of the top 10 results?

I wouldnt have a clue, but he is not big and in the days of big bodied inside midfielders which apparently he is, it seems an odd choice by many for number 1, i haven't seen him play, but he must be good.
Gives hope to under 6 footers as well.

Personally I don't think Rowell has much upside and Robertson and Garcia have towelled up Rowell and Anderson not once but twice.

Oh good Arm Chair expert, who hasn’t seen some one play but is bagging them!
Show us you top 10 or STFU
Yeah I don't know how some who comment so much on the juniors yet somehow remain ignorant of a player who's been in the national spotlight through at least 10 televised games in the past two years. Guess it goes to show how insular this thread is and to take player assessments with a grain of salt as it is not in the context of a comparison.
I do personally think he has concerns which are viable. Rowell is a below averaged size midfielder that is not super quick. While his Champion data results may be through the roof, he does have upside concerns at AFL level.
Still with pick 1, it is often about taking the person with the lowest floor. Rowell I struggle to see failing at AFL level, but I also would not be shocked to see him ranked around 10th long term for his draft year. I am certainly not in the best midfielder we have seen in decades that AFL trade radio are preaching.

Sounds like you are still upset about being proven wrong about the VFL/AFL and the history of the finals series, don't sweat it big fella we are all wrong sometimes.
This is a comment driven board and FWIW he is a 5'10" inside midfielder, for all i know he may be the next Sam Mitchell but in the era of big bodied inside midfielders he is starting behind the curve.

I was watching junior tennis today at Cottesloe, the National juniors, and in the 14 and under boys there was a kid winning his game pretty easy, he was what you you would call in footy terms a manchild, looked physically developed like a 16 year old boy or even older but was not particularly tall, i saw his dad and if i would hazard a guess he wasn't going to get much taller, the boy he was playing was taller but not at all physically developed but at a guess would get much taller and stronger. Give it a couple of years and i reckon the match result would be reversed.
Whether that is Rowell or not only time will tell.

I think most of the bottom ages are all born early 2003. They didn’t take many born late 2003 Except for bazzo and chipper.

When you say the bottom agers were born in 2003, I immediately think that life's moving faster and faster.
I was in grade 6 that year.
