Eagles to debut a toothpick

[Wallaby]

The question is. Can a man this skinny make any impact at AFL level?

The new kitten ran into my legs this morning - that was a big impact.

Por kid - he'll do it tough for a couple of seasons - the Scarborough Hotel used to have a Tuesdays 'All you can Eat Buffet' - if that's still going, I think his next pre-season plan is pretty well set.

No, he cannotte....

 

[sTeeL]

That is a pre-season photo and you would guess that his weight statistics would have been measured pre-season and not updated since as well...

On that I watched his WAFL game the other week and he still looks pretty skinny. Good luck to him

 

[Masten_Magic]

good luck to notte

 

[SirJimi05]

Hes a FF. skill has little to do with it. Its all about strength and speed. Notte is more of a Michael O Loughlin as opposed to anything else. I fear for his safety. I really do. Hes barely even ready for WAFL footy never mind AFL.

Get out the violins people! Have you heard of a little guy named Alwyn Davey? 163cm/ 68kg whippet who gets smashed every single week he plays. Fancy fearing for an AFL footballers safety.

 

[SirJimi05]

Nah.

I think he was refering to the toothpick call.

Rhys looks much smaller than Notte.

 

[Beckers]

The sad thing is that this is the way the AFL is going now that they have removed all physical contact from the game

 

[Alan Alda]

In three years, with good conditioning coaches, he'll probably be 196cm and 99kgs. Then he'll be a force to be reckoned with.

Where did you get the 163cm thing from?

That's 5'4", Tony Liberatore height.
No way is Davey that small.

The Essendon site lists him as 171cm.
Small, but not nearly as small as you suggest.

 

[Kooley]

wasn't he part of the Judd deal??

 

[Scotland]

Yes, he was drafted at pick 20, which was one of the two picks we received in the Judas trade.

I'm not a fan of blooding young players who are physically not ready for AFL football. I'd prefer Notte not play in 2008, but if he is going to be given a run it makes sense for it to happen this week in a game that means nothing against a team with a fairly inexperienced backline.

Sorry i meant to type 168cm.

If you ever get the chance to stand next to him you will be amazed at how small he is for an AFL footballer.

Toothpick is a tad harsh Embers.

The Human Spear is much more dramatic

He'll be fine, play him in a pocket / flank, the Dees will play a similar age skinny kid on him and after the game we can all link arms and sing Kum bi ar and have a group hug!!

 

[Quinz]

He's notte ready yet, but we have no other fit players to bring in. Hope he survives and kicks a couple. Onya Fat Tony.

Which will be about as exciting as the game gets tomorrow!!!!!

We can notte lose.

bingo.

 

[Silvagnis]

They're tanking.

Brad Fisher was a stick when he debuted and took some great marks.

WCE are playing Melbourne, so it's not like their opponent has a player who could hurt Notte or hit him hard.

except the goalpost

Andrew Mackie goes alright.

 

[conodie05]

Of course. Look at Josh Thurgood from Hawthorn. Oh, wait a minute............

Yeah but Davey is not 197cm... Of course he doesn't look as skinny and he's a little whippet that runs along the wings. Not a KPP.

Look at players like Brad Dick and Callan Ward.

They are fine

 

[The Kipster]

I think his best tactic, if at FF, is to hide behind the goalpost.

Quality work there Tommy

My third leg is thicker than that kid's chest.
