Eagles to debut a toothpick

[Embers]

If you thought Westhoff was too skinny and undersized wait too you get a look at Tony Notte this week vs Melbourne. Hes 196cm and weighs around 79kg.

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

 

[uptheblues]

Yep. As long as hes got some pace and skills about him, should be right

 

[Kempie]

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

 

[Embers]

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.

Thats good, Port debuting a toothpick as well. Matthew Westhoff

If by impact you mean help the eagles in their quest to win a priority pick, then maybe.

Magin>>>>>>>>Notte

 

[BadSeed]

He wont play ff... will play more up the ground on a flank running around similar to hansen role, or be left in a pocket.

 

[Cohzee]

**** I thought I was thin. He has 15cm on me and only 4 kilo!

People forget that in 1996 Michael O'Loughlin was a twig. It took several seasons but he eventually got a AFL body.

Chris Grant was 2D when he started as well.

Hope the young fella kick a bag on debut. Good on him.

Bit of a break from the crappy season for the senior blokes.

Jesus christ he is skinny,doesnt look like he has had a meal in the last month..in fact he looks sick ....what did you do draft him direct from the bubble?

 

[huggy_b]

I hope they have some of Bruce Reids sticky tape left over so they can stick him back together should the unthinkable happen!

I think from memory he's packed on about 5-7kgs this year, so imagine how he was BEFORE we drafted him

In fact I envision him turning up to Eagles training on day one would have looked something like this

Notte has good clean marking hands but I do hope he doesnt get hurt.

Good luck Fat Tony.

I hope that there isn't a dictionary nearby or you may be in trouble.

Though a Pizza Hut 'all you can eat' may be more lethal.

Play him on Cale Morton, first one to blow away in the wind loses.
