See above. 140ish bench at 18 with an immature physique is startling.
I stand corrected then.
That's a huge amount.

Pfft, couldn't even push Stewy Dew off himself at that weight.I stand corrected then.

I reckon old Stewy would struggle to do a push up with the rig he's got going on therePfft, couldn't even push Stewy Dew off himself at that weight.
Yep that's what I presume this bloke meant. He played on him so wasn't benching with him I suspect.I don't think he is strong in a gym sense.
He has excellent balance and core strength which is why he holds position against bigger players (maybe that's you meant TMB)
Don't reckon he'd get up that high, possibly 15-20 range?Credit where credit's due - the recruiters taking him at 35. Where would he be in a hindsight draft? 9 or 10?

Yeah, but that’s only because people are still taking players like JHF or Darcy above him on potential.
On first year performance, I’d have him Top 10.
Of course it isn’t, but he’s not scraping into the Top 10. Kind of proves what we’re thinking from the eye test.He’s rated in the 5th on the player rankings for 19 year olds. It’s not the be all and end all of course.
I reckon if someone had no clue on where he was drafted they'd say he went somewhere from picks 15-25.You can see why he went second round and that would be due to the type he is. Nothing wrong with that FYI, it is just that we have become accustomed to horrible second round drafting.
Many a very good footballer is taken in the second rd by many clubs, just doesn't tend to be us unfortunately.

I'm somewhat of an apologist at times given how compromised the post 2010 period was for picks, especially for clubs in our position around the middle of the ladder. I think there is an argument - with whatever weight you might care to give it - that we got in the habit of taking risks in that 2nd round (which in some years let's be honest was more a 3rd round given the compromises) because we recognised that we needed more of certain elite traits and were never going to get them with guaranteed talent using the picks we were ending up with. Each year that went on we were more and more desperate to fill the list gaps in quality around a list that was competitive. We kept recruiting to fill gaps and taking on injured players or those with a heap to prove but "potential" when arguably we should have just kept banking the best available rather than selecting for running or specific qualities we were lacking... I guess there's no way to know now whether it would have ended up better, worse or in the end mostly the same result.Yeah I suppose if you wanted his type and you had an earlier second you'd be very happy. My point is, it is ok to expect a bloody good footballer with your second draft pick.
All of those are in the age group to still be playing footy. I will also suggest we are getting much better with our second round picks.
surely we couldnt get worse?Yeah I suppose if you wanted his type and you had an earlier second you'd be very happy. My point is, it is ok to expect a bloody good footballer with your second draft pick.

It's big club shit. Just look at the wankfest for Nik Cox when he averaged a whopping 11.8 touches and 0.4 goals a game alongside not being threatening offensively. Just boasting about how he was tall but he didn't really use it to his advantage at all.Media: gee Archie Perkins looks good, get him a rising star nom
Also
Media: who’s Paul Curtis? Do you mean Curtis Taylor? Actually who’s Curtis Taylor?
