I've known Jayden personally for years now. Went to my high school (albeit 4 years below me) but we both played at Bundoora the last few years (he obviously trained with us and played a couple games but was predominantly at Knights).

What I can tell you is that this kis is just a genuine, great bloke. Not a trouble maker, not arrogant... Just a real nice kid with an attitude that's even better.

He's just a calm, classy type that is exceptionally skilled and I'm bloody stoked we picked him up!
Yeah but is he a Tiger supporter - Thats what will make him or break him ;)

Great kick, Specially the right deadly

He's a Carlton supporter :eek: or was at least
 
Watched the highlights on this kid and I can't believe he wasn't picked up in the national draft, he's got the package and might even play seniors next year.
From the bit on the highlights he's good around goal but he's going to be behind a few vying for the small forward positions....
 
I know EVERY kid drafted and rookied has a great highlights tape but there was just something I really liked about this one... Really like the look of him. Could be such a steal. Think size might have gone against him with recruiters proven to be so conservative in having a punt on sub 180cm players.

I like that Macca was on the end of most of his passes

Just checked out his video again. He just reminds me of a smaller Lennon in his way of playing (kicking style & running)....But a bit Sam Mitchell in the way he can distribute the ball...

Best kick off both feet in the TAC Cup , an inspiring choice
 
Just checked his highlights package...ok every highlights package looks good...I bet even Angus had a good un...
But what I do like about this kid and what stood out for me...is his willingness and confidence to attack the ball...kids a natural footballer...
Very quick to dispose of the footy...and his first option is the best one...smart footy brain here...
Beautifull kick of the footy...immediate impression was a cross between Cotch and Gary Ayres...that hunched over run with Ayres hair..
Think we have a player here...very excited...

I liked the look of his clip as well. He looks better in the video than some others drafted by the clubs I thought.

The broken jaw explains a few things to me. Glad we got him and even more so that he fought back from the broken jaw!:thumbsu:

Could be a real astute pickup. His kicking in particular impressed me.

Could be a real steal here Magic...its one thing to be able to kick the footy well...I put it to you these days all draft recruits ought to be able to kick well...
Its another thing to be able to get/attack/extract the footy and then kick it well...that's a mighty bonus!!!
This kid is a natural footy player...:thumbsu:
