List Mgmt. Welcome Jack Williams (Pick 57, 2021 National Draft)

[paran]

Welcome! Looks a likely lad, big mits, clunks'em and seems pretty accurate! Nice pick at 57!

 

[dajesmac]

Is his name Brian McGee?

Brian McGee Venables has some skills

 

[THE A5]

Leads well and is a good kick for a tall, but will need to keep growing however to hold down a key forward position at the next level against the new generation of AFL defenders.

Looks like he gets involved quite a bit for a tall forward, could potentially develop as a Gunston type that could prove a handful to defend against.

95kg already as well - going to become a unit after a few preseasons.


Probably will start to come into the side as the third tall up forward in 2023 after Kennedy has retired.


Either way, his recruitment asks questions over the future of Waterman (is he about to be repurposed to the Brander role?)


Welcome to the Eagles.

We now have x4 Jacks on our list - the sponsors will be happy.

Rhett Bazzo listed as 195cm but Williams a few cm's taller


Personally I don't think 195cm will be too short to play KPF. With the exception of a couple, most of the 200cm guys are very lean nd athletic guys but not as big as as using their size and bulk. Jack I can see being more like Tomahawk or Tex type

 

[Roobs321]

Rhett's standing a bit closer to camera in terms of their seeming height difference.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Good honest name to set your watch by. 6.5/10 pick with potential to rise, perhaps if he chooses to go by Jackie or Willow.

This is delightfully on brand content from you

Also looks like Hough is pretty damn tall too.

listed as around Yeo's height.

Yough

 

[The wily weagle]

I can see this guy pushing into the midfield.....

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

 

[THE A5]

watching those highlights.
1. his legs are absolute tree stumps
2. His kicking is elite and kicks it like how a leading forward wishes to receive the footy. Jk, Tex, Hawkins and Buddy are all elite at this

 

[Taylor]

...and still 17

For like 4 more days...

 

[Hai_Newman]

Bearded God 2.0

 

[bUCKET__]

Already interviews better than Gaffy

 

[Dale Doback]

Good pickup at 57. 2 years in the gym and learning in the WAFL he might be a very handy key forward.

 

[Campaigner for good]

Rhett's standing a bit closer to camera in terms of their seeming height difference.

He looks even taller when further from the camera than Rhazzo Bhazzo

 

[WCE_phil]

There's about 2cm extra in his shoes in comparison but either bazzo is shorter than said or Williams is taller.

 

[Campaigner for good]

Hoping for the latter

 

[Mulldogg]

If he’s only 17 and is 195cm I’d dare say he’s got a bit more growth in him. Hopefully hits the 200cm mark to provide a viable ruck option, even if it’s only pinch hitting.

As others have said the KPFs this generation are in the range of 197 to 201cm and the rucks are generally >202cm.

 

[THE A5]

Both Allen and naughton will be KPF's of this generation

 

[Breva_]

Umm you know, he could be umm a good pick, umm you know.

 

[FKASC]

This whole supposed generation thing about the height of KPPs is a bit overblown IMO. The Kings being great talents isn’t some sort of proof that you suddenly have to be 2 metres to compete
