Past #36: Tyler Sellers - delisted end '24 after 2 NM AFL games &being an integral part of VFL program - thanks Tyler

[Twinkletoes]

193.

Similar size to Mihocek.

If he can replicate Mihocek’s impact he’ll be a massive signing for our forward line’s future.

 

[My Left Foote]

So what is his official height? Looks undersized to play true key position. Good luck to him anyways...

Considering we've been playing Greenwood forward who is 190 cm, Sellers at 193 cm is an upgrade both in size and playing in his preferred position (not a dig at Greenwood BTW).

I think he'll complement Larkey and (hopefully) CCJ well, add him to Zurhaar, Duursma & Ford and he gives us another contested marking threat up forward.

 

[King Corey]

Guessing Larkey' s vote of confidence would've sealed the deal.

Whilst Sellars is a little short for a KPF he has good positioning, courage and marking. Kicking a little bit hit and miss but nothing alarming.

But most importantly Nick would've had direct observation of his smarts and how we worked into our structure alongside an established key forward.

Going to bet his thoughts post intra would've been taken into account.

This makes me so bloody happy.

From the VAFA rising star to kicking 30 goals in the VFL to an AFL list all within 2 years.

Fact is, players without talent don’t make that jump that quickly and at just 20 y.o there is stacks of potential upside with him.

Nice leap, elite in the air, natural forward craft, decent at ground level and a solid tank already.

Absolutely no reason why he won’t play plenty of games this year.

 

[hotchilli]

Well deserved, really impressed at VFL level last year.

I am struggling to find out how much he weighs. Does anyone know?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

His height isn’t an issue if he has decent athleticism.

Well done big fella!!!

 

[DunderHead]

Great news. Can’t believe he’s only 20 - is that right?

so when are we moving him to the backline.....

Afl will never tell, No fat shaming allowed anymore.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

So what is his official height? Looks undersized to play true key position. Good luck to him anyways...

At 193cm, he's 2cm taller than Jack Darling, 1cm taller than Brody Mihocek, and the same height as Jack Gunston, all of whom held down key forward positions in premierships teams.

[Better Loosen Up]

Congrats Tyler! Look forward to seeing you kicking bags in no time!

Feels like such a good fit for our team. Not only does this fit a need in our team structure, but he's the perfect age to be developing with our young midfield.

 

[Groucho]

So who was his grandfather? There was a Rex Sellers a leg spinner from WA who played a test in the early ‘60’s, might be him I guess

 

[speedy]

Cant find vfl stats.... where did he come on the goal kicking ladder last year?

His grandfather is Bryce McGain.

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Very happy for Tyler! One positive that no one has mentioned yet is it lessens the pressure on Zane to come in and impact right away. I think Tyler will have a greater impact being a mature body this season.

 

[LB2Snake]

At 193cm, he's 2cm taller than Jack Darling, 1cm taller than Brody Mihocek, and the same height as Jack Gunston, all of whom held down key forward positions in premierships teams.

Can't believe Darling is only 191.....he plays taller than that. Def looks taller. Seller could be a good get then

 

[Groucho]

His grandfather is Bryce McGain.

Thanks. Didn’t realise Bryce was old enough to have a 20 yo grandson

 

[joegreen]

Not sure overall but here are his stats - - Tyler Sellers

EDIT - here - - Coleman

EDIT x 2 - goal kicking ladder doesn't look up to date. Sellers ended up with 30 but is listed as only 27.

 

[King Corey]

Thanks. Didn’t realise Bryce was old enough to have a 20 yo grandson

Sorry bro he's probably not.

 

[andana]

Tyler Sellers looks a long-term prospect as a key forward booting 30 goals and finishing runner-up for the best and fairest.

 

[buttox]

I think this does more than just give a young fella an opportunity which is well deserved, but also adds that thought to potential VFL recruits that they could get picked up by the AFL side. Hawthorn has done this well for a few years now and am glad we have done it as well.

100% this box hill get great recruits to play in there system because these opportunities are around.
Great news for the club.
Welcome Tyler

Just kicks goals… Nothing flashy, no nonsense. He just routinely does the basics right, gets in the right positions and gets opportunities on goal.

My biggest take away from the intra club was the way Larkey and Sellers separated and worked so well together. We have struggled in recent times with other forwards leading the same way or trying to mark the same balls. Sellers why quite happy to duck away to a pocket which will hold him in good stead if Larkey is getting all the attention.
