[BORIS332]

17 disposals, 8 marks and 2.2 in the SANFL Reserves GF as a 17 year old is good going.

 

[BORIS332]

Looks good tbh

[Heckler]

Jay Polkinghorne 191cm
Very Mobile, Medium Tall Forward
Strong Hands and Long straight Kick

Cats needed another mobile tall forward
Help draw an intercept defender himself
Take some pressure off Neale & O-Henry

There is a spot if he can make it his.
Needs to bring a strong defensive side

 

[BORIS332]

He kicked 17 in a local footy game for Western Eyre United.

Welcome and good luck young man!

Don't mean to hijack your thread guys, but in my phantom I had Jay as the player I most wanted my club to take and the best smokey in the draft. I had him in my top 25 players, think he's a very good player and things would have been a lot different had he not been injured first half of the year.

Interesting. He sounds like a talent.

Cheers for this and good luck with the boys you picked up.

My mates involved with his school said big solid kid who clunks everything and elite reader of the play - was BOG in State Schools knockout final. Looks like a great development pick.

Wow that was impressive and that 'huge speckky' was from only two steps 'in wintery conditions' (not easy) and he's only 17yo at time..... that'll do me with 'small dose' of Gary Ablett Snr to boot. How often do you see a kid be a 'clean' one grab/pack mark and get's great penetration with his kicking in 'soft-ground conditions', lots to like. Well done Wellsy and the boys!

Not the first 190cm Eyre Peninsula forward who was strong over head playing for Norwood that we've taken.

Wonder if it was the same scout?

[CatToTheFuture]

Just a hunch, but I think we may turn this kid into an intercept defender rather than a forward. Give him a year as a forward then flick him to defence

Jarvis?

Bayley Fritsch MKII

Looks a stronger unit than fritter. Feels more like James Sicily when he was drafted as a forward

Was thinking Mitch Georgiades if we keep him forward. Similar sort of style and powerful build, at least from those highlights.

Would take that in a heartbeat.

 

[Turbocat]

Nice kick and mark …. any idea on his combine stuff. Does the club think he can play elsewhere … as he seems he would be a very difficult type to match up on if he floated forward

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I'm not sure he has the speed to play back but as a forward I think he could be quote good.

Georgiades was my comparison in type too.
