Besides the neat kick comment, maybe we have a new Richo.  We can only hope.

JAYDEN POST - Western Jets
DOB: 5/12/89 Ht: 196cm Wt: 86kg
"Jayden won our best and fairest and tested really well at the state screening. He ran three seconds for the 20 metres and ran a good beep test. He was by far our best player for the year and I would say that among the taller players in the TAC Cup he was the most consistent. He led the league in contested and uncontested marks, he's got a great work ethic and good pace for a player that size. Good skills both left and right and he's just an all ­round good kid. In our last game of the year in the final he had 35 possessions and took 18 marks -it was by far the best game I've seen anyone play this year in the TAC Cup. He's just an all-round good kid." - Western Jets coach Steve Kretiuk

Putting my rose-coloured glasses on I read Richo MkII.  Ah well, we can only dream.

[camboon]

I would not have picked Jaydyn. Hes another CHB type. We have to many of these types. He was also a over aged kid in this draft. Cant say Im happy with it. But good luck to the kid. On a positive note, takes a good grab, has good dash, but we didnt need another CHB type IMHO.

MMM, picked him over Mckernan, hope we dont regret it!!!!!!!!!

Had a better a look at this kid, might be OK. Has courage, skills and speed for a big fellow.I hope he turns out to be good.

From the vision he is our replacement for Richo long-term. That contested mark up forward where he threw himself into the flying pack from the side without fear, stuck his arms up and marked the ball in flight was very young Richo-like. If he ends up half as good as Richo then I'll be happy.

When McKernan was still around at our second pick I thought we may go for him but we've obviously been attracted to Post by his raw athleticism and versatility for a tall and wanted him at 26 no matter what.

Welcome Wilbur 

Rex is going to love him playing. The poor kid is going to end up being called Mr Ed  .

have never seen him play but i have seen Young Mckernan play and this will be another mistake made by the RFC at the draft table. Mckernan was ready and is a splitting image of his player on and off the field. Will be a gun.

We will never get it right
