Without doubt that was the absolute best game of his career and he seemed to play better in the ruck. However, those games were rare. Obviously he struggled mentally as well, so who knows how much that was a factor.
Not enough is made of this in AFL profiles. Should talk reach height, not head height
Until they make it to the AFL and realise that their long arms just don't cut it. Wingspans are for Birds. Your knuckles could scrape the ground as you walk but that doesn't make you a better player. I assume we're using Cadman as the example? At 194cm and and slightly longer arms won't make any difference against defenders who are taller and probably have long arms also. All this is based on one player being Curnow, who is a freak of nature.
I’d rate him as below average. His record at Hawthorn as head recruiter was sub par and he probably wouldn’t have survived in that capacity if it weren’t for the full set of circumstances (Hawthorn’s established group, Clarkson as coach and the limited quality of picks available). As a recruiter Hine>>>>>GW.
Well if long arms don't cut it that means short arms do, makes sense.
If that's the way you saw it then I can't help you.
I think you've well and truly established you're not great at evaluating talent and today we have the gem long arms don't cut it at AFL level and 'wingspans are for birds', you just keep digging that hole deeper. What you could have said at the start is Matt Jefferson is a talented player and he'll be in demand somewhere in the first round but all we get is more nonsense trying to justify your poor judgement, gotta have those short arms!
Hine effectively gets final say doesn’t he? After listening to coach’s requirements and GW feedback on proposed draftees.
So far, all you've done is try and ridicule other people who have a different opinion than you. Here it is , I spent nearly 7 years volunteering at an under 18 club. I worked in player development while I was there. My cousin is head talent identifier at that club. I spent many years with with the talent scouts at that club. Prior to that I played over 300 games and coached for 8 years. I played 80 games in the old VFA. You sound like a 15yo school kid when you give your draft analysis but that's just me, maybe others might give you a bit more credibility but I am struggling to see anything from you other than what you read in the media. Now, does this make me a better judge of talent than you, probably not, but it's my opinion and I'm sorry it cuts you so deepI think you've well and truly established you're not great at evaluating talent and today we have the gem long arms don't cut it at AFL level and 'wingspans are for birds', you just keep digging that hole deeper.

If we had pick 10, what would you want for it?
He started as list manager at Hawthorn in 2011. Wright was the person responsible for bringing Shaun Burgoyne, David Hale, Josh Gibson, Jack Gunston, Jonathan Simpkin and Brian Lake to the club, who were all key elements (some moreso than others obvs) to their 3peat.
Ed was a control freak. Stick his nose in everywhere. Still love him and what he did for us in his first few years. Saved the club and we now have the best facilities in footy. Overstayed his tenure.
We currently can’t trade our future 1st. I don’t personally see Carlton moving.
