Thilthorpe is more Verstile then Callow and more Athletic

I haven't even watched a video of Thilthorpe, but I'd be guessing that he projects to being physically awesome in the AFL as well as in the standard he's currently playing. I'm guessing that the recruiters view Callow as not having a physical advantage in the AFL, but currently relying on a physical advantage to do damage in his current comp.

I use on PC but dare say it should work PM Phone
He had his fair share of opponents bigger then him both in height and similar weight so dont know how that's a fair judgement they made if its true.
He has very good body work and timing in his marking.

I think he looks good in the videos, but I'm just guessing why he didn't get selected.

hydey will happily have him if it doesn’t work out
I am glad we took a key forward, but given he was projected to be a late / rookie pick and we took him in the mid 2nd round, but do you reckon he could have traded our pick 31 for a pick later in the draft and a future pick (points for Daics?) and still picked Liam?
I like this for two reasons:
1. The work ethic is there from Day 1;
2. Him practicing goal kicking means we haven’t tried to turn him into a defender yet!

It was our 5th Pick though so take him there as I guess we Rated Him and did not want to take a Risk of Moving Down and Missing out on Him

Agree on Both.
He is putting the Hard Yards In and See him as a Forward and not yet another Defender

Got to rely on him getting through to our pick which might not happen if he starts taking the VFL apart.

Phantom Draft VII: 2006 Phantom AFL Draft
Presenting Matt Burgan's eagerly-anticipated 2006 phantom draft, from Bryce Gibbs at no.1 through to St Kilda's pass with the 89th and final selection.www.afl.com.au
Ben Reid was only around the 82kg mark when drafted.
He was listed as being 20kg heavier in the latter stages of his career.
As an aside it's almost hilarious how far off that mock draft was - I guess there's a lot more effort put into these things nowadays...

Yeah that's my read too - ie. he's using his weight (and to a lesser degree his height) to out body lighter-framed opponents in what would most likely be the weakest state league competition and this may not translate well at AFL level when he is matched up on stronger KPD's who are also athletic beasts. The lack of an opportunity to prove himself against other high-level KPP prospects from the mainland would have hurt his chances of being drafted significantly I suspect.
I don't think there's any other explanation for why he wasn't drafted by anybody, so perhaps he may just be the type who clubs feel needs to go away, work hard to change his body shape a bit and build up that athleticism (as well as prove himself against better competition) in a mainland state league and then have a crack at the AFL again in a couple of years, when he might be a better chance of getting onto (and more importantly staying on) a list at age 20.

AFL Draft is lot more Followed Now then Back in 2006 and That is also with the Media

I’m a massive Ben King fan and this kid reminds me so much of a very young Ben King. No pressure but think we might finally have a key forward. Unfortunately it’s going to be a few years before we see him.
Looking forward to seeing how he goes in the VFL next year, if he can put on some weight who knows.

Ben King hasn't really done anything yet, he gets his hands to the ball a lot but it seems to bounce off a lot, hopefully he doesn't end up with cement hands

Guess you did not see him a Underage Level then and how Much he Dominated There
Ben King is only 20 years old playing in the worst, sorry the second worst AFL team. Out of necessity he is being played as the key forward, which he will be in time. If he was playing as the second or third tall he would dominate. I’m sticking with it, these King boys will be special. I’m hoping our boy will be as well.
