āBest birthday EVER ā¦ āāHappy birthday Errol. As a present weāre going to make you play 98% of the game on the ground, with one of the more demanding positions on the wing.

For comparisonās sake, he played 75% and 71% the previous two weeks
If he had been 5 cm taller he would have gone top 5 in the draft. And this is pretty much what I heard from a few scouts. He was rated highly it was his height that was always the big question.
The ones I spoke to knew heād grown to being listed as 175cm. Itās still classed on the shortish side. One said to me he still believed he should be top 10. That same scout also said he believed the game had become to focused of big bodies mids and that elite is still elite irrelevant of size and it didnāt matter how big someone is but like he said āIām a scout I just tell them about the playerā.The weird thing is that he actually grew in his draft year to the point where his height was no longer a massive downside. I mean he is only 175cm, so still pretty short, but he wasn't the 168cm he started the year with. 175cm really shouldn't have dropped him down the draft order that much, but it seems like the recruiters had pegged him as "too short" and didn't bother to check that he had actually grown.
Tbh I haven't really noticed many situations where I've thought his height was a disadvantage. I reckon it's actually helped him win a few free kicks, similar to Papley. He looks to have broad shoulders though, could help with winning the contested ball.
He's actually shown a bit of ability overhead despite his size. Took a really nice grab overhead last night on the half forward flank.
I've noticed he's been starting in a couple of centre bounces in the centre square in the past 3 weeks - the coaches certainly don't think his short stature is any issue to playing in the middle
oh I think Errol already has tank in term of stamina, TOG.In the lower leagues he was a midfielder who was more than capable of getting some really big disposal numbers. Now he may not get that at an AFL level but you never know. In a few years time when he builds his tank he could become a midfielder.

He also has solid thighs. Real power through the hips too.Tbh I haven't really noticed many situations where I've thought his height was a disadvantage.

Bruce didn't think he needed to jump.One of my highlights last week was Gulden in and one on one marking situation with Bruce and somehow Gulden won the contest.
