Haha... He will defiantly not go in the first rd. Didn't win there bnf, only averaged 2 goals a game and got in the best every 3rd game. It's a highlights reel. Just relax.

I hope your right.

Edit: I see the highlights were spread out over a whole season, and there ae=re some questions over his hardness, etc.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

One thing to remember is that he is a university student, and football probably isn't his number one priority at the moment.

He obviously has the skills, put him in an AFL system and he may flourish.

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,762]

Love the way he bounces the ball - puts it out in front of himself about 3 metres then makes up the ground to gather.

[Redleg 40,777]

Another attribute is that he runs hard for the full distance before bouncing. It is a pet hate of mine and I coached kids to never bounce until they had run their full distance, if they couldn't give it off immediately. I hate players who take 2 steps and bounce the ball, haven't they learned it only slows them down and increases risk of error and turnover.

The other point is that and I am not knocking the kid, but I could do a highlight package of say Bennell and you would think he would win 3 brownlows. 1 or 2 highlights from a game and then joined with others can be deceptive. What you don't see is the errors, concentration, 1%'s, etc. Anyway he looks good in his you tube.

[Lutz 76]

Yep, I wasn't overly impressed.

I don't think he'd make it.

[H_T 3,043]

Not normally a fan of these highlights either. Felt the same way when seeing Howe's highlights - not overly excited, but look at him now.

After having a second look, reminds me a little of Ben Cousins, purely by the way he moves.

Agree.

Yep, I wasn't overly impressed.

Not so sure about that.

[monoccular 17,409]

Sure it was edited highlights, but this kid can run, knows just where the goals and the ball are, and can shrug a tackle (at this level) and has what Alan Jeanes regarded as the biggest attribute in a young player, balance.

Certainly worth a look but I don't know just where he lies in the overall scheme of things.

And he has experience playing against grown men, angry Tassie men at that, not just juniors.

He would certainly look better in the red and blue than those horrible Tiger colours too.

Anyway unless Barry Prendergast likies him and most other teams don't, we won't get him.

[Clanger King 9]

Wasn't a GWS pre listed player as there last was traded to Hawthorn.. Is that how it works?

[monoccular 17,409]

I forgot to ask - any info re size and age?

[Clanger King 9]

186cm 80kg

[KingSlayer33 170]

I forgot to ask - any info re size and age?

He was 20 during the 2011 season.

[old55 23,323]

Looks like Collingwood did a deal for the 10th and last pre-listed player so it's draft only now.

11:17am - Trade movement is picking up .... Collingwood exchanges its second round pick (No.47 overall) to the Gold Coast Suns for Peter Yagmoor (Queensland zone selection) and a round three pick (50). Yagmoor is a Cairns-raised indigenous half-back, 180cms, who played well for Morningside in a losing grand final this year. His manager Peter Blucher says he "kicks it at an elite level already".

[monoccular 17,409]

Thanks Clanget and Slayer.

He looked pretty quick and agile, with good goal sense - could he be that much needed forward crumbier, who can fill in mid if needed?

[RalphiusMaximus 6,013]

Well, mature aged draftees often go later in the draft. He could last until our first pick. Of course, there's no saying what we'll actually do with that pick so I guess we find out in a month or so.

[Axis of Bob 11,637]

I looked at the highlights and spent the whole time wondering if he could kick. By the end I still wasn't sure.

Left and right.

Is that a "pass" Bob?

[Guest KingDingAling]

Hopefully we take this kid, he is quick and can take a grab, takes on his opposition and has definate X-factor.

Best of all, he is a tackling machine - works both ways and does the one percenters.

[Goodvibes 3,596]

Sibosado, Daw, Panos . . . Hall could well become the much hyped bigfooty-driven, youtube sensation of 2011.

[Lutz 76]

Don't forget Tyler Chalwell...

No, actually it's ok, you can forget him...

[Lutz 76]

Liam Patrick?

[DeeVoted 583]

Gets a thumbs up from me

Taking into account his vid highlights are his better efforts....

Well balanced, gives off to a player in a better position, doesnt try to overdo it

I picked up he is a quick thinker on the run and in packs.

Worth us using a late pick if available.

Could be a nice replacement for Maric, as he is looks like moving on.

I say go for it.

[wisedog 352]

Good call - I was taken in big time by the Sibosado and Daw highlight reels.

On the other hand, there was a fair bit of hype around Tom Rockliff after he was passed over in the draft, but that was probably supported by his TAC Cup stats.
