Player Watch Jay Rantall (Delisted 2021)

[TheGreatGrundy]

He does sound like he's got his s**t together.

He doesn't sound like anything at all in the 2nd video. Just a photo with no movement and no sound. A pointless inclusion.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

How are the lambs mate?

Delicious!!!!!

 

[jmac70]

Delicious!!!!!

Even better with a nice big glass of red!

I thought it was very artistic.

Was it in black and white?

Saw a comment in the draft thread that us selecting Rantall could mean we trade out Phillips next year for cap relief. Do people buy into that theory?

No as Jay is a Inside Mid and Phillips is a Wingman

 

[TradeDraft]

People say how shocked then Bianco got to us then I guess we been even more Shocked with Jay getting to us as we picked him over Bianco

The shock is the double we got.

i suspect (no real proof) that we pegged Rantall quite high and was always above Bianco if push came to shove.

im very buoyant about Rantall as he brings such high level athleticism and such high level work ethic.
those types (if healthy) inevitably make it. And he does know football so it’s not a new thing for him.

Only stupid people who think a winger would be traded because we recruited an inside mid who has good endurance.

I suspect when it came down to picking between then we went with the kid who had a real point of difference (ie. extreme endurance).

When we saw Bianco still there after several more picks we pounced in a classic Hard vs Soft move...

Not being funny, but the player he most reminds me of from his highlights reel is.... Sam Walsh. Just the kicking that doesn’t look as solid.

just a quick observation.

 

[Phil Inn]

Inn...

Im finding basketball seriously eats into my darts and cans time so im trying to cut down.

So load up on the rising star you reckon?

[Jelly Bean]

Certainly can hit a three pointer!

Unfortunately, of all the basketball related skills, the outside three point shooter is probably the least relevant for AFL...

 

[Saintly Viewed]

If he can shoot for goal like that, wow.

we have something.

high level achiever, I likes



NB to all the pessimists, no, shooting baskets does not mean kicking goals in football.
just pointing out, he’s an achiever and making an observation how good would it be to have a straight shooter at goal.

 

[jackcass]

Inn...

While I can't recall hearing that any of those guys have played basketball, I'm pretty sure Lynchy was a soccer player.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Rantall took the win by a couple of metres.

Phillips holds value in the market—so he could net us a good return and he would be on decent coin too which we can free up without having to compromise our main guns.

not saying it will happen however, i can understand the logic

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Elite is elite.

two tremendous runners and watching Tom in games and how he runs is glorious.

But!

Jay is on a different level again.

And it’s those extra talents a club can bring in that makes that extra difference.

I likes.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Came in at 6.08 (as did Phillips only a metre behind him). Exceptional effort for a new recruit!

Steele was 6.20, Kelly 6.26, Murphy 6.28, Lynch 6.30

Big off season for Steelo.

Big off season for Steelo.

Conditions makes a difference in running, seems a very windy day.


as I assume Steele came 3rd he’s still at a high level endurance beast.

but how good is Kelly, Murphy, Lynch going?

kelly and lynch being key position types that’s darn satisfying.

Rantall gee he excites me. (Ofcourse new draftees are hope sellers, and he’s selling good.)

 

[SouthernPie]

Wow. For Rantall to win the 2km time trial on his FIRST day at the club is pretty darn impressive.
Dare I say it, but it provides a ray of hope going forward.
