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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
