I'm with Bally 12
Kicking is the most important skill for any player, regardless of position.
He 's coming from too far back in the pack from that skill alone to be worth considering.
Don't forget Martin Pyke was a rugby player with serious muscle. This guy is not in the same ball park with physique.
Move on. Let some other club draft him if they want to be cute.

He's 10 feet taller than pyke though, and he can jump higher, and he's much faster, it all comes down to attitude IMO, he's going to have to cram like he's never crammed before, but if he's up for it why not give him a go.uncanny wrote:I'm with Bally 12

But I wouldn't bet against him going home with tail firmly between legs after his first serious game, it's easy showing off amongst friendly foes, not so against those who want to hurt you.

He has elite speed for a 211cm giant but considering there is only a few players near that height to compare to it's a moot point.
3 seconds for the 20m is not elite compared to smaller players times, it's elite for his Height. There is a difference.
According to Sydney Pyke is actually quite quick a few years ago was their quickest tall iirc.

And conversely, it promotes the game in the US. As people say our game is foreign to 99+% of them but the more Yanks playing the game here the more likely some young kids will pick up a footy and kick it around. Slow progress is better than no progress.Defender wrote:Even if he doesn't make it, it's still worth doing, I'm sure elite AFL coaches are still in the dark ages in training green horns, the more we do it the more we'll learn, I think all our coaches would have learnt a thing or 2 when coaching Shae, I'm sure they made mistakes and would probably do things a little differently if given the same opportunity again, they'll make mistake this time as well, but the more we experiment the more we'll learn.

I think people need to realise that these yanks draft combine results need to be taken with a table spoon of salt, they are being compared to the AFL draft combine results and our draft combine is for 18 year olds, these guys are grown men so of course their results are going to look impressive in comparison.
Shits me when I hear yank A has a verticals leap as good as nicnats, or runs the 3K quicker than Sidebottom etc etc, pretty sure NicNat and Sidders would smash their own results if they were retested now as well.
