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.

    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 ...

    Interesting signing. I know nothing at all about him!

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

    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

    Welcome aboard son.

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

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
