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

[jayceebee31 768]

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?

[jayceebee31 768]

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

Brad Hill.

Brad Hill.

doubt he will still be there at 36

[H_T 3,049]

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.

I second Lin Jong.

I used to know his mother - Ma Jong.

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.

BRENDAN FEVOLA

[Carlos Danger 380]

Looks like a decent rookie selection but I don't think he'd be worth using 1 of the 3 national draft selections.

[Whispering_Jack 31,308]

And I know his uncle Kim Jong ill.

I didn't know uncle Kim Jong was ill. Hope he gets better.

What is something that is never going to happen?

[jayceebee31 768]

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

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.

[jayceebee31 768]

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?

[Nasher 33,617]

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