Love the hard work that Romensky has put in -

Western Jets utility Brodie Romensky was prepared to go the extra mile to get the most out of his top-age TAC Cup season.

The Jets crowned Romensky as their Barry Round Medal winner for best-and-fairest this season, with the seeds of a brilliant campaign sewn all the way back in the middle of last summer.

Romensky needed to find an edge to maximise his potential.

Living in Maribyrnong, the nearby Athletics Essendon club and Aberfeldie running track provided the perfect summer training destination, particularly after Romensky was told by his coach, Torin Baker, that he would likely spend more time in the midfield this season after his bottom-age year was spent mainly as a defender.

“Torin gave me the idea that I could play in the midfield coming into this year, so I made sure I had a massive preseason,” Romensky said.

“I just tried to get fit and strong for this year … in the preseason I did a bit of training with the athletics club to get my fitness up.

“That definitely helped – those blokes are super fit and it was a struggle to keep up with them.”

Romensky’s consistency – both over the course of the season and within games – is what set him apart in the race for the club champion award.

His ability to repeatedly get to contests meant he won plenty of clearances. He also has sound game sense, as evidenced by his intercept marking on the backline.

It has not been just the Jets’ coaches taking notice of Romensky. The Maribyrnong Park-aligned junior got the chance to represent Vic Metro at the under-18 national championships and played for Williamstown in the VFL on two occasions.

He was named in the TAC Cup team of the year, too.

It was a dream season on a personal level for Romensky.

“At the start of the year, I wanted to play well – but I probably wouldn’t have expected to have as good a year as I did,” he said.

“I was really proud when it was announced that I got into the TAC Cup team of the year.

“I’m proud of the achievement [of winning the Barry Round Medal].”

Romensky’s highlight of the season was featuring in his first game for Vic Metro against SA in the City of Churches.

It was a game that provided a cliffhanger ending, with the Big V getting home late.

“It was my first time ever representing Vic Metro so it was pretty surreal,” he said. “We came back to win from something like 40 points down.”

The hard work does not stop for Romensky.

The 18-year-old wants to arrive at pre-draft state screening in tip-top shape in the hope of impressing AFL recruiters in the lead up to the national draft in November.

“I’m putting a lot of hard work in to try and get fitter and quicker,” he said.

For those of you that follow the SANFL - how has Eddy's yr been? (seems an accurate kick from the stats)
Is he expected to be drafted this yr? If yes - does our recruitment of Cloke lessen our chances of picking him up?
Thanks

Not likely to be picked up as more than a rookie at a club and it won't be us. He is just a very good state leaguer not sure he'd do anything at AFL level.

Also having the majority of our goal kicki g forwards being close to 30 would not be a good move. I prefer drafting a kid to develop the way our list sits at the moment.

 

[hicksyshawks]

from dandenong will smalls dan allsop reece piper and sam fowler all get the nod come draft or rookie day??

 

[hicksyshawks]

I like Morrish too. He has a bit of Easton Wood about him and can have a big impact on the match without getting much of it. He would definitely suit our game style.

I have big question marks over both Allsop and Fowler, but I much prefer them over Romero because they can actually play football.

What are the question marks over allsop and fowler? Is it their height or actual playing abilities?

Read Venables won't be able to partake in any physical testing at the combine due to an injury, he also seemed to have a quiet second half to the season, as there wasn't as much hype after the championships. Hopefully this means he'll slide to our pick

Might not get past Port, apparently very keen.

Don't blame them, will be an absolute game breaker switching between forward and mid.

Thinking about how dynamic he'd be in our team with Stringer, is next level.

 

[hicksyshawks]

Will 2nd in the morrish medal help allsops chances?

I'm not sure if your name is Sam or Dan, but I do think you're a little lost over here

Might be David

Sealed his top 5 draft spot with that performance if he didn't already.

Florent played alright too.

Garthwaite was huge for Murray down back.

I thought he was just okay

Not as good as previous weeks.

I had to go to the second page to find this thread. That almost never happens..

Anyway, watched a little bit of the TAC GF and what I saw suggested Scrimshaw is going to be a great talent. Would fit us well.

However I still want Venables,Battle, Berry, Louge, Ridley, Junker, Kirby and Ratugolea. So not sure where I can squeeze him in

Twice in two days...

We have better things to talk about

Oh and:

 

[LittleG]

There isn't anything more important than finding great u18 players to add to our list, so we can win the .... ummmm .... premiership.
Ok, maybe there is.

 

[VitalDread]

The U17 Futures Game on Grand Final Day has been shifted from the MCG to Punt Rd Oval.
