Toast Welcome to Freo - Sebit Kuek - Pick 15 2022 MSD

[wakojako]

Spot on assessment, needs to continue to build up muscle otherwise defenders like May/Andrews etc will just block his run at the ball or rag doll him
If he keeps improving he has the raw ability to make it in 2024, is a keeper

As long as you have support in the forwardline, you don't need to put too much muscle on to dominat or at least make an impact. Look at Amiss, he is skinny and yet kicks 3 goals a game.

100% - there's not much muscle on Amiss

Amiss' strength is freakish for his size, just watching Kuek you can tell it's not the same. It's hard to explain more but you can tell watching him he's just not quite there yet

Amiss plays like he's had years of wrestling in one on ones. Kuek plays like he's always used his agility, leap, etc. I think it's as much know-how as muscle.

 

[Taylor]

From memory Kuek played quite small when he first came to the club, trying to work his opponent under the ball and then run onto it as it went over the top.

If he is good enough to warrant having one of the premiere defenders looking after him that's a significant achievement. Not simply that it means he's doing alright, but also it will help the other tall forwards.

As it stands if Andrews or May went to him, they would take a record number of intercepts

He isn't ready

Agreed but the best way of giving him a chance to be ready is to play him on the best defenders so he learns.

Has put on weight since the MSD last year. Give it time I reckon.

His athleticism and height will be too much for WAFL defenders but we should resist the urge to pick him until his body is ready.

 

[anchor man]

I am not sure that six against Perth is a rave, but , if he kicks another bag this weekend, then he will be in the spot light.

 

[Halfbaked]

If win over the next few weeks it's best available.
When it's all over bar the shouting, you play players who are not ready.
Coaches at and players live and die br results.

I think a club rep said Sebit had added 9kg since coming to Freo.

I think a club rep said Sebit had added 9kg since coming to Freo.

So in two more years (another 18kg) he’ll be good to go…


That’s a joke btw, anothe big preseason and we can unleash him on the unsuspecting AFL.

 

[Scham]

Anyone remember Nick Cox from Essendon playing league as a 19yo and the same size as Kuek (maybe even lighter). It's nothing to do with size, weight or muscles. If he was good enough, he'd be getting a game, and imo I don't think he's far off. ATM Treacy is keeping him out.

Nick Cox played on the wing in his first season.

Wingers are mostly around 180-190cm and 75-85kg.

KPDs are mostly around 195-200cm and 90-100kg.

The players they’d be playing on simply aren’t comparable.

 

[Taylor]

If he has the running power to play as a super tall medium forward then he'd get a game, but replacing one of Amiss, Treacy or Taberner would be a big step backwards in that position and role for us if he is required to fill it.

At least this season. I'd like to see him as a tricky match up working hard like a small.

That would certainly happen if we kicked it to Kuek instead of Amiss.
