2017 Pick 64

Pick 62 - Welcome to North Melbourne, Kyron Hayden

 

[giantroo]

 

[Groucho]

Good pick I think

 

[Benj7]

 

[Hojuman]

Big bodied midfielder. Beautiful.

 

[Firestarter]

64 is my favourite number... no lie or coincidence. (Although apparently this became pick 63...)

Kyron Hayden. What a name.

 

[Pykie]

Will be a fan favorite like Zurhaar

This bloke sounds like walk up shinboner material.

Kyron Hayden first rose to prominence in 2014 after stellar performances in the National U15s Schoolboys Carnival. He won All-Australian selection, the WA State MVP and finished second to Luke Davies-Uniacke for the J.L. Williams Medal (the overall Best & Fairest for the Championships).

The following year, he was named Captain of the WA State 16s highlighting his enormous potential. However, in 2016, the Hale School student suffered the dreaded osteitis pubis, and was ruled out for the year.

He also drove his draft ranking higher at the AFL National Combine when he beat Nic Naitanui and Jared Brennan’s record in the Running Vertical Jump test, with 103 centimetres.

WHY PICK HIM?

He’s already been described as a “raging bull” and it is not hard to see why the comparisons have come about.

Hayden is as tough as they come, often throwing his weight around in the stoppages to win the contested possession, before finding a team-mate in open space.

As well as being a wrecking ball in tight, Hayden is a classy player with elite disposal by hand or by foot. His composure, reading of the play, two-way running and decision-making, makes him a tantalising prospect.

North are up to something here

 

[Firestarter]

Another big body mid.
North are up to something here

Being recruited to stand alongside Cunnington and intimidate opponents.

 

[tiltraise]

Like the look of this kid.

Lol at all the "experts" who had us taking no mids

 

[Mordecai]

Shit. He sounds awesome.

 

[giantroo]

 

[75-77-96-99]

What a steal - next dusty martin - saved 1.5 mil also - great get

 

[hsquid]

Strong, quick, mongrel. The new model shinboner.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Looks pretty good

 

[Snake_Baker]

Size is ready to go. Strength and leap are there. He was a gun junior that got struck down with OP.

Has anyone got any numbers on his speed & endurance?

Height 185cm

Weight 88kg

Position Midfield

Draft Range: 2nd to 3rd round selection

IN SHORT

• Ready-made body
  – Can slot straight into an AFL team’s line-up from round 1
• “A raging bull”
  – A powerful midfielder who isn’t afraid to throw his weight around
• Spring-heeled
  – Broke the AFL Draft Combine Record for the Running Vertical Jump with 103cm

I'm really liking this pick, not sure why but theres something about it (like the Zurhaar one) where you just can't not like it.

According to BoomerRoo he's an indigenous lad, so will be welcomed in quickly.

The athleticism is exciting for a big body midfielder.

 

[Flawed Genius]

The Kyron Kia - pulling up

 

[Snake_Baker]

According to BoomerRoo he's an indigenous lad, so will be welcomed in quickly.

Yep, indigenous. Good genes too. Father played at Subiaco and grandfather was a gun sprinter.

Ahhhh those words 'ELITE DISPOSAL by hand or by FOOT'... music to my ears..

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

A quick and powerful classy inside mid. Get that endurance up and we have another bargain in the 60's like Mountford.

The North recruiters in WA have done really well of late.

 

[Egga]

Fast, strong, good size and elite disposal. Why did he fall to #64? Can’t find the pill?

 

[Ben B 96]

Ahhhh those words 'ELITE DISPOSAL by hand or by FOOT'... music to my ears..

Is this a new strategy for us picking players with elite skill?,I like this pick.
