Just going off the highlights clip, if this is the 33 best kid in the draft, this draft isn't anywhere near as good as they say.
I hated FJ before tonight but letting Laverde go and now picking up a really skinny kid like this, I hate him even more.

you do realise laverde was picked up at pick 19.....so almost every team overlooked him in the first round, including essendon with their first pick

Peggles - shhhhhh - why ruin a good rant from big tone with a fact like that.
It's an opinion, am I aloud one?
Laverde will be a star.
Just like Heppel, and clubs overlooked him including FJ the d1khead.

Apparently not. If one bags out the draft selection then one is automatically having a personal go at the kid.

But it's ok, we can all clap the players off after the next disgraceful loss like some posters here did after the Tom Hafey tribute loss.

I reckon the kid has plenty of talent. Just hope he goes from Menadue to Mountain Dew before he becomes overdue.  ;D

His highlights package is impressive which is what most of us are going on. Keep in mind Sheehan is on the record saying the best highlights package he has ever seen is Raphael Clarke. Or was it Xavier?  I can't remember it was one of them. Ben Nasons highlight package was also pretty amazing. Point is its not a great measure of whether players will make it.

 All that aside, yes, he looks like he can play but jeez I hope he's not another David Burke who cant put on weight. And if he does, will he lose his leg speed?

 If at 18 you are at least 15 kg off afl playing weight it raises the question of not ideal genetics for the game/laziness in the gym

Just remember how long it took for Tuck to develop physically. Magical things can happen after your mid-20's.

He will be an outside player anyways. Isaac Smith, Steven Hill etc didn't need to bulk up too much to be effective.
Catch him if you can mutha lickers.

Pretty much.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Was thinking the same thing about the same two players.
Play the kid on a wing and just let him run and carry.
Let him learn on the job in the seniors. He isn't going to break.
F;)k Grigg off and play some kids.

Smooth running action at high speed, balanced & silky!  Connor could run at top speed with a tray of drinks & not spill a drop!   :whistle   (providing its not a cardboard tray full of the stupid plastic cups they give us!  Mission impossible not to spill them suckers!    :'(  )
