And now port have him

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic assessment, would be handy given he plays in all lines, size n strength are changeable, bonus is he is able to confidently kick off either side. 💙💛🦅🏆

Apparently he tested at the Vic combine and not the national combine. Apparently did well across the board apart from the 2km time trial.

You know what you need to do Sam Power...

All of these kids are far more physically developed than kids of just a decade ago. Even Berry being a smaller player looks close to AFL ready or will be by half way through next season.

With Ollie Wines being an example of why that's not quite correct mate. Think back, Buddy and Roughy aren't weeds.

Actually,....if you mean for this draft, you'd have a good point but this draft is extraordinary. Cheers mate 🍷

[@spindoctor6385]

@@deanhall6045 I don't think this draft is extraordinary, it is a natural progression. Even with your example of Ollie Wines, he was one out of a few kids in his draft year that was AFL ready. Last draft and this one there is 15+ that are physically ready from round one. The other Example of buddy is ridiculous, he was a skinny kid who played early because of elite talent, not because he was physically built like he had already spent years in the gym. He barely laid more than one tackle per game in his first two years, he was pushed around in one on one marking duels.
