Player Watch Welcome to Port Adelaide Rookie Pick #13 (2024) - Tom Cochrane

[Traveling_Power]

...He's a forward?

I thought he was a midfielder

Rookie me central says he is a midfielder / forward

(here a snippet from his page)

- The powerful midfielder-forward. Offering strong contested work and prolific clearance-winning ability, Cochrane has the explosive streak that AFL clubs are searching for. He is gutsy overhead and clean at ground level, making for effective play through the middle of the ground in multiple phases of play. His power is also felt forward of centre, where Cochrane often hits the scoreboard."

Is he quick, can he kick?

Is he quick, can he kick?

Decent wheels, especially his first few steps are explosive but would say he's your run and carry type of gun. Has a good leg on him and great eye for goal. But kicking inside 50 would say is inconsistent, sometimes can pick out a target and sometimes can lose composure and bomb it to goal and waste. Something that's definitely fixable though imo.

Really strong mark and knows how to win a contest, which is why I think he'll eventually move into midfield.

Imagine having the power to swear while Hinkley is giving a team address

Tourettes is strange, my nephew had it when younger, started with ‘doh’ like homer then grew into a ‘f)$k’ later. Poor kid grew out of it/ managed to control it better but I recall one time at maccers it got quite bad, he was saying ‘f this, f that’ very loud, and this real posh mum & daughter were staring at us thinking what’s wrong with this kid? where did he learn to swear like that?, I felt terrible for him so said ‘wtf are you looking at’
Seemed to get worse in puberty & stressful social circumstances but faded later in young adulthood

Tom has come out of nowhere to really impress.

The unfortunate thing is we don't need that type of player in the team at the moment but sometimes outstanding form is just wasted potential at SANFL level and he has to be played at AFL level and it would be great to have another Port Adelaide name as father, son getting games.

Dad rocking a bit of a Kill Bill look. Wonder if he has a Hattori Hanzo sword?

It's hiding in his tie

If he keeps his form up, you've got to give him a crack.

Gee, the family would go bonkers so early and his brother would be really wanting to come to Port.

Can’t wait to hear some of his sledging with Tourette’s lol

He might get a few 50m penalties from the umps until they find out he has Tourette's.

And then the extra 50s when he curses the umpire lol

He's a different type to DBJ, Richards and Berry in that he is a more powerful build but he'll probably have to wait for an injury or form slumps to get a crack. He's probably most similar to JHF but without the top end pace and skills at this stage.

Unbelievable, made the opponents look clueless in the first one and then the second one, a Westhoff!!! Hope to see him in the seniors at some point this year.

Can't wait to see that debutante video

 

[Coobk001]

I think Soldo is actually more linked to Sweets fitness personally.

Exciting stuff for the kid though. Amazing climb if he gets picked.

Does he get a free pass?

Great title from Channel 7. Bolt from the Teal. Nice.

 

[DaTBird187]

COCKERS!!!

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

It'd be a really nice story if Jase, Jackson and Tom make it as regular AFL players.

F/S picks that were drafted at the bottom

 

[Janey]

He might get a few 50m penalties from the umps until they find out he has Tourette's.

And then just imagine what he’ll be able to get away with.

 

[It Just Is]

Nice trajectory if he goes from near unheard of at the national draft to forcing his way in on performance by round 3

 

[Traveling_Power]

we just need to bring him in and get games into him.

as he is a midfielder who knows how to play half forward, it will be a big change from having midfielders who have no idea about playing half forward.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Playing.
