Word on the street re Gysberts....

[Guest melbman]

I heard from a reliable source that said the club put him on a 10 week program but he finished it in one day

I just heard Andy Maher on SEN report that Jordie has been granted 'Legend' Status by the AFL..

Sorry Lou Richards, you just don't cut the mustard mate...

I'll never take a "training the house down" rumour seriously again after the John Meesen debacle.

[Viney Vidi Vici 145]

well... from training this morning, he's looking very competent, with good all-round skills, as been reported before. Can take an overhead mark, but still is pretty skinny. Will be a good midfielder, and even had a little run off a forward flank today in a drill. With not being all that developed yet, I can't see him taking this season by storm, but you never know.

I hear on the street that when Gysberts finishes his AFL career he wants to work in an office.

RE Demon Dan:

Yeah that's true. But 'Gys's 2nd placing in the kicking test was 'far superior' to the others that finished 2nd.

Don't forget that he also won the AIS/AFL Academy's 'B.O.G.' in their game against a bunch of South African school kids who'd never seen a football, let alone played an AFL game in their life..

fwiw, I think he'll be a gun given time.. Nice one Barry Prendergast!!
