That is impressive 
We don't really know much about his athletic prowess because he couldn't make the draft camp. Could be yet another hidden talent that Rendell pounced on

Gee you look like him!
I'm going to try to get there - just a matter of paving to be laid.
might head down in my lunch break, depends on when that is.

All the run winners should have an asterix placed beside their name to signify that van Berlo was not running.

And add a 2nd asterisk for any run not including Sam Martyn.

Apparently the Club felt for 6 months prior to the draft that Talia wouldn't fall their way so hadn't even considered him. They found out the morning of the draft that they could get him (?? I wonder how that works).
Probably they got a leak about who certain clubs were going to pick up and joined the dots and realised he was a chance to fall.

I had asked whether they get caught off guard when a player doesn't fall expecting him to say they have a number of different scenario's worked out should player a b or c not go as expected. It quite surprised me when he said they found out the morning of the draft.
Also mentioned that they no longer have a scout in Queensland due to the fact that GC has dibs on the best kids up here for some time.

It could be a while before we get another newbie as good as this guy.
Very glad we got him. Being 194cms and already 89kgs, athletic enough to be a midfielder but flexible enough to play defense or attack, smart enough to learn team plans quickly and a very pleasant person too. I hope he does really well.

That's a bit of a stretch stabby. He was touted as going top 10, which most would consider in the spotlight, not exactly hidden.
That being said though, his athleticism certainly makes him an exciting prospect

Yep, according to our recruitment board (which the club forgot to take down before the open day) we would have taken him at 10 if we had pick 10. I think what helped him slide was the fact Melbourne and Port had 5 picks within the first 12 and he wasn't on their.
I don't know if it's just me, but from watching the champs videos and the highlights on the net, I see a bit of Sam Fisher (St. Kilda) in him, just the way he moves, takes marks and even kick to a certain extent. He could easily be used in the way the saints use Fisher, in the sense that similar to Fisher, he is a KPP whose primary use is not to 'stop' the oppositions KPF, but rather set up the play from defense and be used as the type of player who has the capability to play HB, and even have some stints in the middle/wing. On the plus side for us is that Talia is more then capable playing forward as well.
I really can't believe how good our KPP stocks are looking for the next 10+ years, with Sellar, Tippett, Walker, Davis, Mckernan, Young, Talia, Gunston, Craig and Thompson, and most exciting of all is that the club has HIGH hopes for most if not all, and bar the new draftees they have shown they will make it.

I meant that his athleticism was a hidden talent of his, not that he was a hidden talent in general - he was widely considered the best KPD in the draft
But not necessarily because of his athleticism which it now appears is extremely good but was not able to be tested at the draft camp to make it common knowledge in the greater footy public.

Well he definitely has good endurance going from his 3km trial efforts. Why was it that he couldn't get his athletic prowess screened at draft camp?

He got a hammy from putting on his hot pink skin tight metro shorts????
But really:
"Hamstring injury bought his season to an early end and although nearly fully recovered, was unable to participate at Draft Camp. Vic Metro U18 representative in 2009, winning All-Australian honours." http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/86924/default.aspx

I should clear up this misconception though. It was a skin tight hot pink t-shirt, not shorts But he WAS wearing tight blue short shorts with it
Got some feedback from South Adelaide that they were excited to get Talia because of huge talent and flexibility ,even though think will only be one season.
