Any one wanttoi name teh best small forwards in the VFL, or players who coudl step up as small forwards, kicking goals and roving packs - not enough of these guys, everyone stacks their forward lines with tall what about us smalls
It is great to see him improve as he has and the games I watched on TV he seemed to be playing on ball a lot. He wouldn't look out of place on an AFL list either as he would be better than a lot of players going around at the moment.
Never make it on an AFL list grub .... he's too short , too heavy , too slow , plays up forward with a run on the ball , has buckets of footy smarts , takes a deceptively good mark , goes super hard and is as tough as set concrete. Those sorts of guys could never make it in the AFL , especially at Hawthorn !!!!!!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm adamant that he's a chance to at least get rookied. VERY tough , smart footballer in the traditional mould.
Lets start a rumour about him rico. He didn't play footy until he was 18 and until then he was a champion basketballer who excelled at distance running and high jump at school. There that should be enough to ge him drafted. What do you think rico ?
No arguments from me Rico. But sooner or later I'm expecting you to pump up Sammy Rudolphs tyres for me. 8)
Oh, and like the idea grub. Don't forget he once ran 9.67 in the 100m sprint with the howling wind in his face once. :wink:
Sam Rudolph has always had ability as well but he wasted a year in Queensland. At the Eastern Ranges he would take 5 or 6 great marks but only end up with 10 touches. He can play at both ends and is a good size so if rico won't pump him up I will.
nah , as matty knows , I'm also a big fan of Sammy's ability. My only concern is that he needs to get really serious about getting his body right or it will all just pass him by. He need to be heaps stronger and generally fitter if he wants to get beyond a fringe VFL player.
Absolutely no doubting his football ability.
As for the Wombat , I'm sure he also turned down a Rhodes Scholarship this year in favour of playing at Box Hill and is secretly doing a course at the Institute of Sport..........................................................
Interesting to see what happens with Steve Kenna. Got a feeling that Carlton will delist him, seemed that Pagan blacklisted him fairly early in the season as despite some good mid-season form he never got another look in at AFL level.
Agree on that. He looks quite tall on the VFL field, but is pretty thin close up. I really hope he does make a list as I think he has the ability to read the ball at a level that could cross to AFL standard. Will be a shame if his 'potential' goes unfufilled but thats the way things go I guess!

Buggered if I know what a Rhodes Scholarship is (I'm a uni student that knows nothing :) ), but I'm sure I saw him at Deakin earlier in the year.
BTW Rico, did you happen to see a certain physio on The Price is Right the other day? :wink:
Would be a shame. The bloke has uncanny goal sense and can win the ball.
His height will always be held against him, but I still think he could make it.
If not, he's welcome to come back to Box Hill. :)
matty matty , I'm sure he was only at Deakin in his capacity as the state's No 1 example of the 'super intelligent athalete' ! Cman , we're trying to build up a secret behind the scenes profile of the guy most likely to be drafted !!
As for Special K , I'd love to see him back at Box Hill but I cant see it happening under Andy's plans for developing kids. More likely to get a quid interstate me reckons.....or worse still , another VFL club.
Cant say I caught that particular screening of The Price is Right ( 8O 8O 8O ) mate , which physio are we talking about ???
