That's ridiculous.Too late, I’ve already decided we’re grabbing a 7ft Dean Cox
He'll be a better mark than Dean Cox was.

Why's this year his NBA cut-off. If he goes well this year, but is still short of getting a tap on the shoulder to nominate, surely he'd play a third year?Obviously still 4 months a bit to go, but not in the top 180 players

Not sure. I guess it gets harder to get drafted the older you get? So much competition that I suppose if you are no chance in your first two years, it wont happen.Why's this year his NBA cut-off. If he goes well this year, but is still short of getting a tap on the shoulder to nominate, surely he'd play a third year?
However, the footage made him look like he was on more of a European trajectory in terms of basketball.
The guy looks a gun. Watch his video. Has all the tools to be a dominant ruckman. Didn’t have question marks like Keeler or Scully had. Mature body, agile, timing and reading of the play v good. And obviously has a v professional attitude. Will be an absolute steal if we land him…Shit you’re right
Holy crap
Might be able to do a straight swap for Harley ReidGone from a first round prospect to a top 5 prospect. Nice bit of mayo on there from Morris, prepping oppo fans to be outraged if he comes back to play for us.
Which would make him the tallest player to have ever played AFL...Did you not hear them say 212cm??? Lol
Is a ruckman like Steene/Ilroo or does he have forward ability
Too late, I’ve already decided we’re grabbing a 7ft Dean Cox
He’s not exactly skinny either.Some context is needed here. Condon didn’t play footy in his draft year (2022) and his projection was always “early first round” in his bottom age year which usually means around top 10, but we should all know by now that a projection that far out doesn’t necessarily mean a whole lot. Harry Lemmey and Isaac Keeler were both projected top 5 12 months out and both were lucky to get drafted in the end and Keeler has been delisted now I think?
I’m excited at the prospect of Condon, because 7ft tall players don’t grow on trees and if he’s better than Cox he’ll be a keeper, but don’t get sucked in by Morris’ hyperbole.
Stuff the NBA- a career at Collingwood is what every right-minded sportsman would choose!I just hope he accomplishes his goals and gets the most out of himself, whether that's in the NBA or AFL.
If we end up securing Condon, I’m very confident he will be a big problem for opposition teams.The guy looks a gun. Watch his video. Has all the tools to be a dominant ruckman.

He's actually 1cm taller - Cox is 211cm - Alex is 212cmSounds like he could actually get a look in in the NBA which would be huge for the kid
But great to know he’s ours if he doesn’t
Only a cm shorter than Mason but grew up on the sport so could be a genuine weapon
Im not sure if we can assume that he will be more athletic than Cox. Cox for his size is fairly athletic (which is why he was so sort after in the first place) and has natural footy IQ. His kicking has also developed well and is a positive trait for him overall. He even reads the ball well in the air unlike Grundy. His main weaknesses are his hands are average (still not bad) because his height means he doesnt have much competition, he struggles a bit getting around the ground because his tank isn't big (makes him a slug at times) and he is pushed under the ball both in marking and ruck contests.If we end up securing Condon, I’m very confident he will be a big problem for opposition teams.
Cox never played AFL growing up and yet he has developed well enough to play AFL and his height is what troubles the opposition most.
I fully expect Condon will be a far better player than Cox given he has grown up playing AFL and was a decent talent before switching to basketball. He will have more pace and agility, better footy IQ, better hands and will be a better kick than Coxy.
If we end up getting him, he will be massive for us. I can see it now. A Condon/Smit dominant ruck duo.
5 4th year players this offseason have signed their rookie max extensions of 5 years, $224 million dollars. They make 2.5 full AFL teams' salary cap every year.Stuff the NBA- a career at Collingwood is what every right-minded sportsman would choose!

All worthy consolation prizesI’d settle for a 7ft John Coleman at a push.
7ft Leigh Matthews?
Would be shocked IF gets Drafted IF he did be last few picksObviously still 4 months a bit to go, but not in the top 180 players

There is just so much competition that you would have to be really standing out. We'll see soon enough, odds probably low though given he isn't on the radar atm and there are so many players mentioned in that mock draft as it isWould be shocked IF gets Drafted IF he did be last few picks
I still believe Condon will have Coxy covered for speed, agility, most definitely footy IQ, kicking and marking.Im not sure if we can assume that he will be more athletic than Cox.

If he turns out to be a younger Cox (pre eye issues) that's still a win in my book.
Yeah. First round draftees are so good. When you look at participation numbers in the respective sports, getting drafted in the first round of the NBA draft is the equivalant of going pick 1 in the National Draft. And the second round picks don't even put you on an NBA roster.There is just so much competition that you would have to be really standing out.

One thing's for sure - Not only does Condon have the advantage of having had a footy background, but he is far also better at College basketball than Coxy was, who, in his one forgettable season, didn't achieve much at all in any of the major statistical measurements -I still believe Condon will have Coxy covered for speed, agility, most definitely footy IQ, kicking and marking.
The footy ability and smarts will be better as he’s played the sport most of his life as opposed to Cox.
I’m very confident Condon will be a bigger problem for oppo teams than Cox and that’s really exciting for Pies fans.

It's been done to death before but here goes again - Big Mase was an accidental basketballer. He never played an organised game until college*. He was a soccer goalie.One thing's for sure - Not only does Condon have the advantage of having had a footy background, but he is far also better at College basketball than Coxy was, who, in his one forgettable season, didn't achieve much at all in any of the major statistical measurements -
