Welcome Welcome Max Knobel!! - Pick 42 in the 2022 National Draft

[Cobbler]

Big Max, welcome to the best club in the West.

Big Max certainly more welcoming than Big Knob…

Son of Trent

SoT

 

[Dockernut]

Looks a good prospect. Can’t say I’m loving the Linkin Park Lite as the backing music to these highlight vids, but I guess it beats virtually any music produced in the current era.

 

[SiempreFreo]

random question, any relation to trent knobel who was ironically a ruck?

Son

 

[Lach72]

He seems awkward but effective by foot

 

[King Huskii]

Big Maxi Knob!

Kid could be very handy

 

[King Huskii]

He's like Cyril Rioli below his knees

 

[DMan 11]

He's like Cyril Rioli below his knees

In that he has feet connected to his shins by way of ankle ?

Huge scope, quite athletic and co-ordinated for an 18 year old 206cm kid.

Shades of Sam Darcy. Hopefully has a similar trajectory.

 

[Dockeroo]

I see he’s from Maffra in east Gippsland. A small dairy farming town. 3 draftees in the top 42 from east Gippsland is very impressive. Welcome max!

hopefully he brings some cloth wrapped cheddar with him

Rucks in the style of Simon Madden, leftie too. When he stacks on a few kilos could be very useful..

 

[Joao]

By the time he is ready, Darcy will be 30.

 

[Dump Truck]

Motion to nickname him "ruck-pup"

 

[Andy Brennan]

What about RuckKnob?

 

[jusjoshin]

Motion to nickname him "ruck-pup"

seconded.

Pretty crazy to actually look back at Sandi's career as a benchmark for this kid. Spent his first season with East Freo - then played 19 games in the AFL in his second season!

I'd forgotten that, that's crazy isn't it. Legend.

Looks impressive in the flesh. Bigger than I was expecting and moves well. Reckon he'll tear the WAFL up sooner rather than later.

Do you think he has kpp potential, or moreso ruck?

 

[Sturty2Hurty]

 

[Scham]

I've got a strong feeling that he's going to be my favourite before too long.

 

[ozzie69]

The Big Knob !!

Don't get too attached

Will likely make it but for another team

 

[One_Wing]

Walls is weirdly good at picking rucks.
