Smokies in this draft or Rookie picks - my pick Lin Jong (from 2011)



Recommended Posts

Posted

My smokie in this draft is this fella. Has come from nowhere this year to play in the TAC Grand final.

He lacked confidence in his early years but has really come on, being consistently one of their best overall. At188 cms tall, has played in many positions even played finals in the ruck.

I await other thoughts on him and others to be smokies to be considered here or in the rookie list

yeh would be great for our relations/sponsorship options with china! (assuming he is ethnically chinese, going by his name)

would he be considered a project player like majak daw?

Definitely a project player whom Big footy have him going to Richmond for a late pick.Got natural ability which can be developed.

doubt he will still be there at 36

I wouldn't have a clue. Quigley (50 +), Phelan (58), Snoop dog (~48) all have him at 48 and plus. Sheehan has him in top 30. Law of averages tells me he'll be somewhere close to or in between our picks.

Was Ma Jong a good athlete or a better entertainer?

Never knew his mother. But his dad, Pa Jong and I go way back. Pa Jong knows Judds grandma who gives Rogue good mail here. Lin Jong and Chris could be related.

I believe that's debatable but I did hear she was good for a night on the tiles.

Not going to make a comment on that.,however good on ya Ma.

Another player that we may consider is Jake Hammond- either last pick or rookie pick.

what position does he play at AFL level?

Is that Lins mum? LoL.

I hear they're good laterally... Good vision... LoL.

He is the guy you picked as the brightest light that you had seen play this year.He is the one that played in the ruck, forward, centre, back- most versatile and brilliant.

Very versatile- however I can see him playing HBF, Wing, HFF

Steady on JCB. I didn't say that, but thought his endeavor & basic skills were good and his workrate was high and consistent. An interesting kid.

Observations from my only venture to the U-18 's this year. Until the Etihad games, anyway.

There seems to be lots of choices this year, feels like more than most years?

Lin Jong certainly fits in with jcb's traditional policy of simply backing the bloke with the funniest name. Serhat Temel anyone?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
