Looks like he was up forward for a bit in 1st qtr? Maybe developing another aspect to his game? God knows he has the height hands and strength.

Loved the tackling he did up forward, Andrew Walker didn't know what hit him
Will probably be our number 1 ruck next 2 weeks after the Mumford incident.

i think these two images sum up Pykey

He could just share his pot ...
I think that Mike Pike will keep his spot and be offered a contract at the end of the year because in an add i have seen for the Geelong game he is named as one of the players to watch along with Ablett Mumford Chapman Goodes and a couple of others. Sounds like very good company to me and i don't think that's just because of his size either.
Good pics. Solid tackle and a well judged mark. TBH I thought he'd got himself caught under that mark but his stretch was fantastic. What an athlete. As his confidence grows he just gets better. Great for us that we have another tall who can take a contested grab. When he plays forward he looks dangerous enough. Hopefully he can get among the goals a bit more.

Love them. A big strong tackle that COULD become a Mumford-style illegal tackle (not that it should), and a mark that he initially misjudged but used his fantastic athleticism to make up for. Basically sums up Pyke perfectly!

send him forward, how would he go???
New Swans forward line: Shaw, White, Pyke, with Bradshaw thrown in between injuries. Sounds awesome

. Sounds awesomeHe's been playing up forward a bit over the last month. While he's only kicked one goal from his time up there, his constant working, pace, 2nd efforts, strength and strong, fast hands have been creating a lot of opportunities up there for the rest of our forward line.
Definitely deserving of his spot and in fact i think there is a big doubt over Seaby getting back in the side after he is fit.

Haha settle down Vonn
But notice the arm placement, around the hips. Perfect tackle, with his height and strength he can do what ever he wants with his opponent from there, rotate hips and slam...

There are only a handful of players in the AFL whose tackling can match that of an international rugby player. And 1 of them is JackHaha settle down Vonn

you'll find that it doesn't matter who it is, even Cam Ling, if there's muscle, there is Vonn's comment
