Rookie pick 7: Robbie Hicks

[Fluffy Tiger]

Lets take it as a given that we wont be playing a game of football on the last weekend in Sept 2010.

Looks like we have a good chance of winning the GF sprint again. Well its better than nothing on the day.

Excellent point but can rookies run?

Still very small and didn't look super quick.

Anyone who can run the 100m in 10.7 secs is quick, he may just not be using it all the time.

Yes your probably right he must not have been using it all the time in the video I saw.  10.7s is electric, but often its the first 20m that matters, was he quick on that score too?  Pat Cash was notably quick over 20m a lot of successful athletes are.

CALDER Cannons small forward Robbie Hicks will head to Richmond next year after the Tigers snared the speedster with pick seven in the AFL rookie draft.

Originally from Doutta Stars, Hicks impressed recruiters while representing Vic Metro during the under 18 championships this year, kicking nine goals.

The Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School student also attracted the attention of recruiters at the AFL draft camp in Canberra during October, recording the second-best time in the repeated sprints test and the equal-tenth best time in the 20-metre sprint.

Standing at 176cm and weighing 68 kilograms, the Tigers were undeterred by the 18-year-old’s slight frame.

[jackstar is back again]

Yep ... another player on our list who is to small - we have to many of these already and 2 or 3 need to go at the end of the season Im afraid.

They called for the stretcher in the last quarter , he was in pain, lol

If he can build up the Warrick Farms a bit then i think he can make it. That goal where he got front and square was a ripper! It shows how easy it is when you get front and square, unlike Nahas who seems to crumb on the angle forcing him to kick around corners!

The issue is when we havent got possesion of the ball.
Jake King has improved out of sight in this aspect

Give him a break!! He can run the 100 in 10.7 and He's a small forward in his first game. Far out some people here are quick to write players off. It gives me the Jimmy Britts.  
You could tell he was nervous which explained some of his fumbles but his crumbing goal was very good. Until someone can prove to me that there are no small player's who have gone on to become champions in their own right, I give players like Robbie time to DEVELOP!!!!!

Totally agree .. he could be our quick foward to pick up the scraps Jack Griffy and Hicks would be a good combo

If Nahas is getting the ass then this guy has a spot.

He looks like he might have a few tricks.
