Player Watch Kayle Kirby (Delisted 2018)

[mike123]

One thing re speed, no player in football history can run faster than a well kicked football.

Its not the football they have to be faster then though, its the opposition. Its why I don't rate Oxley and to a slightly lesser extent Langdon because they get run down too easily which stops them from kicking the ball well.

Now that makes sense.
You are correct, no good getting tackled pre dispensing the ball.

Most kids these days (especially in the first 2 rounds) come into the AFL system already with an elite diet and gym programs, they're already close to AFL level fitness and just need to continue what they're already doing (albeit it a higher level).

For kids who come in with a more casual attitude a lot can fall out of the system as they simply prefer a more relaxed atmosphere and don't enjoy the elite system

He'll need to do some catch-up work on the rest of the squad but is worth a punt.

The guys covering the draft discussed it when he got picked up.

Everything other than his 20m sprint was absolutely woeful apparently.

True but they did appreciate his potential. This guy begs to be loved by supporters. The SEN comments were actually quite amusing - the word 'shithouse' was used, but by someone who also understood the raw talent he offers.

I take it you don't rate Degoey then?

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Ability - heaps
Application - Let's wait and see...

Let's not go writing this kid off before he's stepped on to the training track FFS.

Yep, to do what he did to VFL defences at 17 years of age and with only 4 years playing in remarkable, IMO he'll get out what he puts in, and then some.

Don't know how you get that impression.
De Goey is an inside mid, the other two are half backs where kicking is more vital.

Or not getting the ball because your opponent got there first.

 

[loki04]

So reading page 19 then page 20 and I feel like i am in 2 different threads?

Someones gone almagamation happy or very delayed replies happened.

Or not getting the ball because your opponent got there first.

That's also a good point.

(There are not that many Greg Williams types who are not fast but knocked up getting the ball)

Those in thongs always have more toe

Camel toe?

Any news on why KK wasn't involved in the intra club? Keen to see this fella on the paddock.

Would be interested to hear that too. My operating assumption and possibly unfair is that his level of fitness means they are essentially treating him as a rehab case.

 

[Rorzza]

The intra club commentators sounded genuinely excited by KK, as everyone knows fitness holding the young fella back. Will take time.

Dedication to evil on this scale requires persistence, a lifetime supply of fermented carrot beverage and a bevy of nubile fillies. Unfortunately I'm all out of carrot beverage, but judging by the skin colour of the only person on the planet of equivalent evil status I think I know where they went.

None of us have any idea how Sier looks in terms of playing at the moment Dave. All we know is that he looks considerably fitter than he was 12 months ago and is still injured. Lets wait until he plays a few games before judging where he's at in terms of a senior debut.
