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.

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.

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???

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

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.

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).

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) :unsure:

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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
