Sorry not enough sleep. The other "s" word.
I still maintain it's closer to a medium risk, high reward pick.

One step at a time , he is actually competing with apeness for the forward / ruck position . if Clarke and Griff play wafl , don't know how he going to develop apart from playing reserve league.
Been taking some Impressive, contested marks at training.
Happy New Year all! It's pretty clear to anyone semi-intelligent that Taylin "The Man" Duman is the next big thing for us (on our rookie list). Most commentators are already referring to him as "the new and improved Mundy", "Fyfe v2 but in defence", "even better than the good bloke" - perhaps not in the media yet but behind-the-scenes I assure you.
Speed and composure out of defence at an ideal height and with the flexibility to play through the midfield. Ticks all the boxes, just needs to build the body. Excited for our future half backs with Hughes, Nyhuis, Ryan and Duman all with plenty of upside imo (releasing so much talent further up-field - Weller, Tucker etc). Add in Hamling, APearce and Logue and the future of our defence looks bright.

I knew mid season 2016 Freo were going to get him. Glad freo got him too. I have said this before and said this again, His Parents are mad docker fans so that's a plus.
Only way I see him get games this year is we have a massive injury run like last year. Very certain that he will get games in 2018 when Sandi and Griffin retire.

Can only see Sandi Retire if freo win flag in 2017.
I do remember you calling it. With his terrible performance in the beep test (I think it was the beep), do you think that was part of a strategy to get to the Dockers? It is a fair risk of failure to get to your desired destination if it involves getting picked in the Rookie Draft.

Beep test means nothing. Endurance can be eventually improve just like goal kicking. Dean cox was the most unfit player in the Eagles side when he 1st started. He then became on of the most fittest in his prime years.
Freo has had a history of players from the rookie draft having decent careers.
Walters was over weight and unfit at the start of 2012. We all know what happened next.
If Strnadicas only weakness is his endurance, then that's fine. 2-3 seasons of training and development will do him wonders.

Can everyone chill out and watch Brady Grey in his AFL appearances last season. He is AFL standard. Tackling pressure is phenomenal. With Deboer gone and Suban on his way out, Grey will be in contention

I think that Luke Strnadica will get first nod from RTB . He has come on leaps and bounds over the preseason and he is a better mark than Griffin and Apeness. His ruck work isn.t too bad either.

At this rate you should be giving everyone a go, nothing to lose. I would give guys on their second year in the list a go first. They should run out with a nothing to lose, everything to gain mentality – give it everything, go hard, chase, do your thing, be yourself... at worst you go the way you were and end up axed, and at best you end up with another few years. Get some of that tension and angst out there and get it to show as adrenaline and excitement.

Duman still a bit skinny though? Doesn't seem to consistently get a lot of it for Peel either.
Probably his biggest obstacle would be the players available. He would be behind Bennell, Langdon, Balic with Spurr and Mundy to return as well. I just don't think an opportunity will open up for him this year.
Would like to see him out there though.
