Good get, surprised the saints didn't match

Looks really good. Plays with intensity.

 

[cats_09]

So, St Kilda/Ross talks about trying to emulate what Geelong does

And here's a situation where they could have easily selected a player we wanted, taken that first step towards doing what we do but instead they pass

3rd bid lucky!

Saints are funny, complaining about not getting academy rights and then not matching the ones they have

 

[BORIS332]

Looks like he played VFL for Sandringham.

 

[bellpark]

Love it - quick and intense. Need a Swiss watch brand nickname given his Swiss parents

Nickname = Cheese The Hoff

 

[Heckler]

Tall very fast athletic defender
Very strong intercept marking
Good hands skills no fumble
Cats need another rebounding defender
Player that can turn defence into attack

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Could be a Stewart replacement as that lose intercept defender. Looks good 1 on 1 though as well.

Stkilda grumbles about FSon and other alighned players … yet do not take their own.

I remember watching this kid now. I think he will fill out well. Seemed to be matched up against tall opponents… and for a someone who is quick ..didnt seem to be reckless in his use of pace. I could see him developing into another ZGuth etc

So looking at it objectively. This kid feels a bit like Jordan Clark

. Half back who doesn't defend, blindingly quick, good mark, decent penetration on the kick though maybe not as reliable.

Winger, though he may ask for a trade home to the saints if we don't play him at half back

 

[BennyGan]

When I was doing my draft rankings one of the players he reminded me of was Kolo. Similar size but able to play a bit bigger than he actually is and intercepts it really well. Fortunately he uses the ball better than Kolo lol, but I’d be more than happy if he it turns out to be as good as him.

This guy can defend, he'll be a 3rd tall

I actually think he does... and well. His speed/pace helps him. Another bonus is that he can take a hanger!!

Looking at him in the VicMVicC game ..he certainly was willing to negate the marking player with mark spoil but overall Id think he his main club in the bag is his speed. Id be wanting him to use that as much as possible. Id agree his kicking is not as sweet as Clarke….

Or Clark's for that matter

You are just a meeeeeeany LOL….

Looks like they all should be called …. clericus ...

Is there any significance to the addition of the letter 'e' in some surnames such as Clarke and Thorne?

Answer (1 of 2): No there is no significance as such in the naming of Clark'e' instead of Clark. It's just another variant of the same name. Clarke is an Anglo-Irish surname which means "clerk". The surname is of English and Irish Origin but the original word comes from Latin for clericus. There...

Anyway …gives us something to type about .Clarkes with an e clarks without an e …. lets see how many type Hofmann… over his time with a double. ff

I don't actually care, it's just going o be funny correcting people

 

[Gunf]

No no it is Huffman due to all the ladies huffing and puffing when they see him

 

[Mattlock]

A family that looks excited for him to be Cat, love it.

This kid has a tenacity and intent you can't train, and I'm all for it. I think we might have gotten a real good one here.
