Aaron Black= The Adder

 

[Bowski]

I really hope this kid turns out to be half as good as I think he'll be.

 

[scottywiper]

Giddy-up.

Aaron Black= The Sabbath

Erin Bleck = The Prunce

I really hope this kid turns out to be half as good as I think he'll be.

Me too. His highlight tape was one of the best I've seen.

Let's keep fingers crossed that he gets out there this year.

Someone should snap him up on GroggyK's "Player Watch" thread if he's still there.

I can't. I've taken the 'fro.

Me neither. I got Z.

Still there Mr.R.

If Black is fit, I reckon he'll play 10 games minimum this year.

Years end, he'll be headmaster of the Drool School.

That pic makes him look a lot bigger than the skinny kid the club drafted
Any update on how much he has put on?

When he was drafted he was 78kgs

NMFC website says 82kgs.

Looks bigger than that.

And interestingly has shrunken to 192cms from 193.

All I saw of the lad this year was his run against Sandringham, and THAT is all I needed to join the "drool school" TM Groggyk, and it was the way the bloke moved, led and marked. He just looked the goods.

A tribute:

I like it.

But I prefer

Aaron Black = The Mass

 

[The OBSTacle]

Still there Mr.R.

Black has missed a lot of football and conditioning. I think a best case scenario would be if he could play the first 10 games in the VFL without any issues. If he dominates, then we should unleash him in the seniors, but his promotion will cause some balance issues.

If Black comes in then who misses? Most likely, one of the ruckmen.

Weights haven't been updated as yet for the 2011 season, but Aaron has put on at least 10kg since joining the club.

 

[Joey7]

Someone please compare him with a current AFL player - how good can he be?

Pavlich but faster and less European.

 

[Joshen]

Very excited to see what he has to offer in 2011 with Hale gone and I don't know if Smith is still playing at North Ballarat but he should have the tall forward position all to himself.

 

[Joey7]

Pavlich but faster and less European.

That's a huge call.

Well lets get this kid on the park and give him some game time.

He lost a chunk of that after the operation, but put it back on pretty quickly apparently.

He looks really strong through the shoulders and chest and if I recall correctly looks a bit skinny in the legs, not surprisingly. Won't be surprised if he plays around the 92kg mark.

 

[jezaroo]

I just killed a rabbit and cut off its foot in the hope that at least one of Black or Tarrant becomes a gun, Hopefully both.

 

[Event Horizon]

Had a quick chat to him on the basketball court at the Family Day - he is a very confident young man.

Watching him play for North Ballarat, he seems to take this onto the field with him too.

Lets see. He's quick and agile, tall, skillful on both sides, takes a good mark and is very confident in his own ability.

I'm excite!

You just described Wayne Carey.

We can only dream mate, but that confidence is definitely a key component of what makes a good forward. I have a feeling that he will be excellent value for pick 25.
