List Mgmt. Welcome Malakai Champion (2024 Category B Rookie)

[Bender_]

I just can't shake the feeling that Geelong are about to bid on Champion and we miss out.

Is this the latest ep meme?

 

[garlic munchers]

As long as he turns out a better champion than the Wizard turd, I’m happy.

Already a better bloke!

Looks like he has great instinct and can read the play. Small frame, but Eddie Betts and Charlie Cameron

Excited to see him play.

Courtesy of Zero Hanger these are the shortest current AFL players. Eddie Betts was 174cm for the record



So at 172cm he’s at the bottom end of the list but also in some pretty good company. At 18, he might still have another centimetre or two of growth in him

You better not be talking about the OG wiz Farmer, because he only needs to be half as good to be a star

Think he means Nick Watson

Good thing Simmo isn't around anymore, he'd burst a vessel having to coach 2 of the 9 shortest AFL players.

 

[TY24]

A mate of mine played basketball with Malakai and reckons he is the fastest kid he's ever seen, moved like lightning.

Hopefully he can put on enough size to make it at the elite level, because he looks bloody exciting.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Looked very handy during the National Championships.

This bloke could be an absolute steal as a rookie. It’s crazy that height becomes such a considered flaw despite players like this are naturals in the game.

 

[wirra44]

Seems like a ripper kid, I get a good feeling about this one.

Gee, kid is a very good speaker.

Don't want to stereotype but aside from Kelly, the other indigenous boys at the club look like they're about to shit themselves when in front of a mic.

Then there was Willie, who appeared to be having a stroke when he was having an interview, he looked that nervous.

Was about to say he reminds me of Wirra and Jetts, both were ok in front of the mic.
But he also sounds like he has that pure joy that eddie betts has as well.

Absolutely think we have a ripper here.

Signs of Cannabis-Induced Psychosis
Psychosis can cause many troubling symptoms. If you witness any of these symptoms in someone who uses weed regularly, it is vital to understand that the situation could quickly worsen.

• Severe anxiety: feelings of paranoia or unrealistic interpretations of the surrounding environment can become overwhelming very quickly and without intervention.

Manages a curly request for a thesis on declining participation rates amongst indigenous players too! Sheesh

Yeah that was impressive

Yeah, he handled that very well.

He is genuinely a terrific kid
His mum is amazing too
I have worries about him getting hit high and copping another concussion as his career could be over
But having said that I desperately want him to succeed for two years now been since 16 championships
been watching him, and his want to succeed has been a highlight

 

[Mulldogg]

“For those of you who haven’t watched you play…”

That sure is a doozy of a question!

How many concussions has he had?

 

[Dark Sharks]

"Hai Malakai, how was your first training session? Good good...

So anyway can you tell me what's the deeeaal with the declining indigenous participation in the sport and why aren't the current established pathways no longer feasible?

Cheers"

 

[sharps24]

Impressive young man, can see him making a debut this season. Probably deserved a main list spot.

 

[Barrybran]

Very well spoken young man. I look forward to seeing him in action. Pickett and Betts are good players to mould his game on.

 

[Dark Sharks]

"Hai Malakai, just a follow up question... Israel or Palestine, who you got and why?


Cheers"

Absolutely nailed the answer.

That is very often a cultural + confidence thing. Communication rules in indigenous family systems can be vastly different. In some circumstances you have to mostly listen when being addressed by elders, and eye contact can even be out of bounds as a sign of respect - so lots of looking down and keeping quiet depending on who you are conversing with.

That said, this fella reminds me of his uncle Eddie - he looks so joyous and confident, and probably a fair bit of cheek in him. What a ripper energy to have around the club. Hope he goes well.

One question for those that have seen Mal play - does he have an overhead game too like his Uncle? Mostly see him doing real well getting into space and his deft skills from the vision I’ve watched so far
