Smokey out of school footy, Cal Twomey said a few clubs were interested

 

[gaz love x]

Thought we'd go mature but kind of glad to see the pick used for what the rookie list should actually be!

 

[BigCat1]

Good little basketballer from the highlights on the internet. Little Issac Heeney

 

[Warhorse]

I love a good smokey in the Rookie draft. Sounds perfect

 

[eDPS]

type, a very good goalkicker in the APS comp capable of some big bags.

 

[Bc2341]

Dont know how he went in school footy, but his 2 vafa u19s games went well

Certainly an Isaac Heeney type, a very good goalkicker in the APS comp capable of some big bags.

similar size to heeney?

 

[dazbroncos]

I thought they said he kicked 6 in his last game .. from the MF... happy to be corrected there.

similar size to heeney?

I believe so, might be a little bit taller

 

[Turbocat]

I believe so, might be a little bit taller

He comes from a basketball background?

There must be a story why he never was on a NABL list ?

 

[Turbocat]

Good little basketballer from the highlights on the internet. Little Issac Heeney

If that is him... basketball playing the point... he has good heads up vision but he plays very much a grounded game. Like to see how he goes running in combine tests.

 

[year of the cat]

Looks neat at APS level. Good overhead and looks to have a nice kicking technique. Like a rookie Smokey.

 

[stac]

no idea about footy abilities but a really good basketball family
He is a little light at the moment
However his older brother is a big unit
His focus was always on basketball as was his brothers
Was never going to be tall enough for bball
Will have heaps of skill
Nice kid also

 

[thejester]

Thank you, Ollie's dad.

 

[CatRiot]

Hayball skinny type?

Or a proper mid-sized forward with some muscle on him?

 

[FredLeDeux]

Thank you, Ollie's dad.

Plays taller than his height in the air.

 

[bellpark]

Looks like Knevitt, Whyte and Dempsey will be the surf grommets.

 

[Sire of Claude]

Ollie runs both ways, takes a very good mark, seems agile, shares the ball - could be a player. Pity he's not a leftie.

Lots to like about that snippet of his footy, I agree. Reads the ball well in the air and meets it with strong hands. Second efforts also appear very solid.

Look forward to seeing him out there with the Bankers next year.

 

[Nankervis brothers]

Thank you, Ollie's dad.

He reads the play quite well, which can be a problem for players whose junior years were spent in another sport. Nice mark overhead.

 

[year of the cat]

Assume “Gary” is the nickname? And not “Courtney”…

 

[MacStradbroke]

Thank you, Ollie's dad.

He's as raw as you will see

 

[Gazza Greatness]

Ollie runs both ways, takes a very good mark, seems agile, shares the ball - could be a player. Pity he's not a leftie.

I don't see him as a outside or soft player and conversely, unlike many other players, he doesn't get drawn into a congested situation when there is no need but rather astutely stays on the perimeter which in this brief video he does on several occasions. He will even help out his team with his impressive leap in the odd ruck contest, still plenty raw but much to like about this kid 'Sire of Claude' as you've previously alluded - "Ollie runs both ways, takes a very good mark, seems agile, shares the ball"
