Ok, so he is a speculative young tall with good skills?

I will defer to jcb, bhima and others for training results and comparisons to similar players at the club.

if someone wants to grab it off youtube (I'm inept), there is a very nice highlight package - looks very clean indeed

[Time2DEEliver 0]

i know its only a highlight reel - but looks likely if he can put on a few kgs

got a bit of silkiness to him, keeps his head up and clean hands

on another note first post so hope im following rules, also i found this profile pic through google not sure if ive taken anyones please let me know and ill change it.

Question - a lot of raps about Jai early on. Why did he drop through to the Rookie Draft?

[Gooner 9]

Looking at the highlights, he looks like he's got a decent goal kicking style, but seems to make a few skill errors when setting up the play.

He's a project player who will hopefully come good in a few years.

[Hells Gates 505]

Looks a lot like Lucas Cook to me. They may be our next generation key forwards but who knows, early days.

Question - a lot of raps about Jai early on. Why did he drop through to the Rookie Draft?

Looking at the Herald Sun article posted above, I'm guessing it's because of his apparent "inconsistency", "lack of urgency", and the fact that he "wasn't up to standard".

Hopefully he has fixed these issues. The highlights video looks promising.

This is straight out of the "How to pi$$ billy2803 off in one sentence" book.

Looks like he's got a decent goal kicking style, but seems to make a few skil errors...blah, blah, blah. It was 50 seconds of footage FFS. He was picked up in the rookie draft FFS. WHAT MORE DO YOU EXPECT???

[Jordie_tackles 354]

I think i heard as was said he showed glimpses of abiility but wasnt consistent enough,

Also think i read that he came on late in the season for Geelong? hence not many recruiters saw a heap of him to make up their minds. or enough quality in him.

Im liking the connections which have been made with the new coaches and some recruits, Sheehan, Couch, Magners all on recommendations as late picks, also Tuck being recommended as well

[monoccular 17,417]

A big boy - looks like a "wait and see" type to me.

I am sure that the lack of urgency etc issues have been assessed and hopefully addressed or he wouldn't have been picked.

[Carlos Danger 380]

Stoked with getting Sheahan, genuinely thought he wouldn't make it beyond the PSD to pick 6 in the rookie draft. Surprised to see the Doggies selected Roberts over Sheahan but couldn't be happier with their decision.

Serious bargain as far as I'm concerned and a highly talented 18 year old KPF is a perfect fit for the rookie list (as they need time to develop).

Hate to say this, but reminds me a lot like Brent Grgic in his movements.

The word choice has annoyed me more than the accusation...

It is 'pea' heart.

As that would be the size of the muscle.

maybe it was meant as an amalgam of pea-heart and p155-weak (as in pee)

either way though it was a bit of a heart-less commnt
