Toast Welcome to the SUNS - Jez McLennan

[SandyToes]

All I am saying Mclennan equal to Ablett second Rd pick , Saad second Rd pick , GC third Rd pick and Fremantle third Rd pick .I am hoping he perform equal or better than end of first round pick .

Overthink too much am saying

 

[Peel67skin]

Overthink too much am saying

Alright . I agree I am overthinking .

Just reading a little into Jez's background, his father grew up in Warwick (2.5 hours west of the Gold Coast in the Southern Downs region past the Scenic Rim) and was a talented cricketer who represented the region. Jez's grandparents still live in Warwick and his cousins/uncle/aunty live on the Gold Coast so it would appear he has plenty of family within driving distance of the Gold Coast. Obviously this bodes well for us in terms of retention and Jez's keen interest in surfing is another itch we can scratch. Perhaps his direct family will relocate here too ala the Weller family.

If we can't recruit Queenslanders, then recruiting talented players with Queensland connections is the next best thing in terms of retention.

Can we claim Jez as a Queenslander in terms of his player origin then ...???
If so - Queensland 13 - SA 11

On a more serious note - List management needs a pat on the back for going the extra yard to ensure this kid got to us... that background says he could be a one club player with us.....and he's an U18 All Australian to boot !

 

[The Kings Ransom]

he is 12cm shorter than Mcgovern
His standing reach is probably 20+cm shorter.

Bit optimistic guys.

Gee who would have thought…

A 183cm guy whose main strength was overhead marking didn’t make an impact.

 

[OB11]

Doubtful - a bloke who can kick the ball, take a mark in the back line and can actually play on an opponent doesn't become a whipping boy.

He is the antithesis of Lemmens.

[Iva Bigun]

As least we didn’t move up in the draft to get him………

 

[RowellAnderson12]

What a waste of time by everyone. Couldn’t even get a game when we were at our worst

Any chance he’s another Will Brodie

? Shut out by Dew but an AFL level talent.

Any chance he’s another Will Brodie? Shut out by Dew but an AFL level talent.

I rate this as a 0.0000000000001% chance. So yes, there's a chance!

At least Brodie dominated at NEAFL level. This guy was only a good soldier at the NEAFL level.

Yeah I think that is what I was after

He might go and dominate at Southport SUNS Sharks next year

 

[SnusCG]

'Brodie' Potential players on our list still that could be good to excellent players on other teams are Fiorini, Corbett, Sharp, Burgess and Bowes

None of those we delisted ever really showed much even at VFL level
