Can anyone's who's watched both do a Logue v Rotham analysis?

pls

 

[Eagle Al]

Gee, no ones got anything to say about him?

I liked the highlights video, looks pacy and an enticing prospect. Anyone watched him?

 

[mezaire]

Love how we now have three backs who are all good intercept marks, good kicks and have some pace.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Quick. Tall. Plays on and switches which shows he's confident. Very well weighted kicks and reads the play and can take a mark.
A good get in the second round.

Shits on vics

Good signs

Unless I'm getting confused again, I believe Rotham's beep was on the low side.

I think it's also possible he's not the hardest of players.

The good news is that those issues are correctable and if he manages to fix them he'll fly up the rankings because not many are blessed with his size and athletic ability.

He plays like what people wanted Schofield to play like.

Less tested as a close checking defender, breaks quickly from HB and kicks well. It's a good pick and we are lucky he was available.

Different to Logue, similar to Scrimshaw.

Welcome Josh

A good get for a later second round pick and looking forward to see how and where he develops with the Royals. Wouldn't say that his a KPP more of an athletic tall that can play small as well or use his leg speed and penetrating kick off a wing.

I know through messaging with Monocle that we interviewed Patrick Kerr last weekend thats why I thought we'd get him after Geelong and Carlton passed with there second round picks but happy with Rotham as player retention shouldn't be a worry

Combine test results:

• 20m Sprint – 2.92
• Agility – 8.66
• Beep Test – 12.9
• 3km TT – 11:01

I've done the beep test twice, both at 19 yo. I got a 12.8 and 13.3, and I was nothing special, fitness-wise.

Brag Alert - Mike Hussey was the only one to beat me in the group when I made 13.3. He is (was) a cricketer, albeit a very fit one. So if 12.9 is Rotham's standard, I reckon he needs to lift a tad.

It has been suggested some of the endurance testing fell short because they played the all star game a week before.

Still, very good pace, endurance can be improved. He doesn't play like he is unfit, and runs well in games.

LOL so I just realised AFL.com.au used the wrong players head for Rotham in the Draft Tracker

They put some fat kid's head there instead but they fixed it now.

I suggest he'd want to improve rather quickly on that beep test, or find himself on the outer of most footy clubs.

All you need to improve fitness is desire (and negative consequences otherwise). It's not an innate skill like goal sense. It's pure hard work and determination.

Any vert stats? Beep test is an easy fix.

Get this kid under a barbell. Has a nice frame.

And welcome Josh

I shall call you, Bruce.

From the mighty Falcons, what could go wrong?

Great kick, love this guy, will be great in 2018

 

[2006_Eagles]

Not sure I really know anymore about him from that vid other than he can take an uncontested mark and kick a ball
