maximum bob 462 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Jimmy Riddle is one to keep an eye on as far as our drafting goes. Blitzed one of the tests at the draft combine today but was an also ran at others. I bet the recruiting department have an eye on him. Comes from Delungra in NSW...17 yrs old, 194 cms and 87 kgs. Has size, some skill and played rugby league as a junior. Plus he likes a big grab and crashing packs. The only footage I've seen was like Jack Hawkings. For what it's worth his beep test was amongst the best.

When I was a kid (a very long time ago), needing a 'Jimmy Riddle' was rhyming slang for when you needed to go behind the nearest gum tree in the middle of a cow paddock.
maximum bob 462 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 I was visiting my sister in Nimboida, back of Grafton, earlier this year and the Southern Cross network featured this kid as part of their sports news section.

Should take him at pick 3!!!
Guest Mengele Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 No.. He kicked 24 goals for Delungra, whilst accumulating 65 touches, all contested! Chuck Norris is nothing compared to this kid!
Miles from Nowhere 199 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Perhaps the MFC could take a Riddle, but only in a double pronged attack with Freddie Clutterbuck?
Chook 15,080 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Who is he? The estranged brother to Tom Riddle, perhaps? Wasn't he a quidditch convert originally? At any rate, he could bring some real magic to the forward-line.

Mister Ed 317 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Best mates with another highly thought of draft prospect Dale Roberts who hales from nearby West Wyalong and starred with the Murray Bushrangers this year. The pair had some problems getting leave to attend the draft combine from the juvenile detention facility where they currently reside after borrowing a neighbour's ute and driving it to Shepparton where they smashed said vehicle which is now a write off. Nobody's quite sure how they made it that far given the volume of moonshine they consumed during the trip and their blood alcohol level readings. Shame really but I believe Sheedy's still interested (he once wrote a book about second chance heroes and is currently thinking about drafting Andy Lovett as a mature age rookie).

Demon Stalwart 255 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I heard he was of Cockney Decent . Is there any truth in that rumour ? I also heard he has a profitable portable toilet rental business anyone know if that is correct?
Chook 15,080 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 NERD!!! Hey, I'm just giving the kids what they want.
spirit of norm smith 16,680 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Thomas Gribble - Geelong Falcons - is the whisper
Chook 15,080 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Thomas Gribble - Geelong Falcons - is the whisper Nephew of Dale Gribble? Cousin of Joseph Gribble?
Loyal Royal 1 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted 06 October 2012 - 08:04 AM Perhaps the MFC could take a Riddle, but only in a double pronged attack with Freddie Clutterbuck? You guys are still holding out hope for the Freddo Show?
