Walls.I’m sure I read in an article somewhere recently that Walls or whoever was saying we wouldn’t be looking at Bo Allen as we already have too many players of his type.
Me too. I think Berry is a nice player, but I prefer the way Hannaford plays. He has more aggro and power. However, the big question mark is Hannaford had a very poor 2km time trial result. If Hannaford is viewed as having poor endurance, it could stop him rising up the board.
I like Hotton he'd probably go top 10 if he didn't do his ACL. If a club manages him he could be a gun
I need to be convinced he can actually kick the ball
His brother plays for saints I think he’ll request a trade if he’s not taken by a vic clubI like Hotton he'd probably go top 10 if he didn't do his ACL. If a club manages him he could be a gun
Agree. My comment is more around the Shanahan noise.I like the look of Gerreyn as well, thought we might be targeting him with our second pick, the fact we re-signed Jones makes me think he won’t be available at that pick so we’ve backed in the guy who plays that role already on our list.

It was Paul Roos. On the abc daily podcast during trade week.Walls.
Does anyone have the quote from Swans recruiter who said only important test at combine was the 2km trial.

That actually highlights how bad it was
Rayner was 3 months off footy and overcoming a knee injury to test
Brayshaw in comparison did 6:14
Darcy Fogarty did 7:33, only 7 seconds slower than Hannaford
CCJ 7:35
Both of them are slow AF
The time trial is a measure of mental toughness and sacrifice. You can't fall off the couch and run a sub 6 min 2km. It's the result of hard work over a long time and focused mental energy at the event.
It's arguably the character test.
Berry? We’re discussing Hannaford’s poor 2km run aren’t we?I don't want to just disagree with you and I get what you are tryimg to say but it doesn't take that much mental toughness.
When I was at that age and older I'd run 2 3 or even 5 ks flat out. Sometimes off my couch Sometimes after sitting on my back side at uni all day and I played ammo footy.
It's just 2ks
A poor 2ks after an entire season either screams x player is running with an injury which they shouldn't or is either unfit or not trying their hardest. On Berry I can't see how a lad who has had such a big season would be that unfit and it wouldn't be he's not mentally up for it.

It’s a measure of athletic ability, and a good time is an indicator of aerobic capacity and natural stamina and endurance. Character has nothing to do with it, no amount of character can compensate for a lack of natural athletic capacity.The time trial is a measure of mental toughness and sacrifice.

If you can’t cover 2km at a decent pace how are you going to play 120 min of midfield minutes at AFL level? Or even a pressure small forward role.
There’s a reason Cam Rayner can’t play full time mid still, 7 years into his career.
Darcy Fogarty - another old school stay at home full forward that doesn’t do much running.
Will Brodie - another example.
I’m not so sure clubs are interested in a small forward with poor aerobic capacity anymore
I wouldnt mind him either.I like Hotton he'd probably go top 10 if he didn't do his ACL. If a club manages him he could be a gun
