haha. Wow.

Who mentioned this in another thread? Good work.

Not hoping for much but there is your Howe replacement if he has decent mitts...

 

"Although he once kept Gary Ablett Snr goalless in an outstanding individual display at the Cattery in round 16, 2006"

What?

Classic Burgan mistake.

Wow that was unexpected! Didn't even realise the category B rookie list was a thing until now. Anyways, welcome Joel!


Joel Smith | Victoria | 64 | SG

Smith was a member of the Australian U19 squad in last years Pacific Championships and was one of the key players coming off the bench, averaging 10.3 ppg & 3.3 rpg on 49% FG. Smith was also a member of the Australian squad that attended the 2014 Nike All-Asia Camp in June.

You can watch him score 18 points here -

Somehow I don't think we are going to find any footy highlights ...

Geelong claimed Mark Blicavs via the rookie B list

 

Someone mentioned this in another thread but didn't have a huge amount of detail. Good luck Joel!

well that makes him 193cm not 191cm as burgo said. i thought 191cm seemed on the low side. i thought i saw somewhere else 196cm but not sure now

Love this bit from his dad Shaun

"He can definitely jump higher than me" Wow!

I can see why we were happy to turf Howe!!!

Interesting signing. I know nothing at all about him!

I will be down at Casey so I will see how he develops next season.

haha. Wow.

Vaguely heard about this 6 months ago, but hadn't heard anymore.

Welcome and good luck Joel!


"He tests sub 2.80 [20 metres]. Given his basketball , hes got good speed, agility and vertical leaping. Hes also got a solid endurance base, he said."

This made me think, hmm thats fast:

20m sprint 2015

Alex Morgan - 2.88 seconds

Kurt Mutimer - 2.88

Liam Jeffs - 2.89

Daniel Rioli - 2.89

Thomas Glen - 2.90

Declan Moutford - 2.90

Callum Moore - 2.91

David Cuningham - 2.91

Hisham Kerbatieh - 2.94

Jordan Snadden - 2.94

2014 20 metre sprint results (sec)

Marvin Baynham 2.81

Oleg Markov 2.87

Jarrod Pickett 2.87

Reece McKenzie 2.87

Connor Menadue 2.88

Nakia Cockatoo 2.90

Ed Langdon 2.92

Paddy Brophy 2.93

Conor McKenna 2.93

Nathan Drummond 2.93

Best at the combine of all time:

Top Combine performances (seconds) Joel Wilkinson 2.75 2010 Jonathan Marsh 2.78 2013 Danyle Pearce 2.79 2004 Ashley Smith 2.80 2008 Marvin Baynham 2.81 2014 Nathan Freeman 2.82 2013 Jack Watts 2.82

2008

So, yeah he is seriously quick.

Who remembers when his dad ran off Allen Jakovich at the G from fullback and kicked a goal?

Welcome aboard son.

We just need to pick up Lovett and all of a sudden it's 1995 again.

I mentioned it - as a rumour on the Norm Smith site....6 months ago...


well that makes him 193cm not 191cm as burgo said. i thought 191cm seemed on the low side. i thought i saw somewhere else 196cm but not sure now

Sometimes basketball clubs/academies measure blokes "with shoes on" as they would rarely play without them...

Told you guys!!! :)

Kudos. In a bare season for rumours you nailed a good one

 

well done to poster armstrong35 who called this a few days ago

And well done to the MFC for some left field thinking! I may be wrong but I thnink Shaun was 187 cms in his playing days. Joel looks a good size

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
