Welcome to melbourne Joel.

Definitely looks 193cm.

 

I wonder what his skills will be like.

Generally basketballer's are fairly skilled so hopefully he is a good set shot and possibly play in the forward line with Hoges.

 

Anybody who is about 1.93 metres and can run sub 2.80 seconds for 20 metres is seriously fast.

He would have decent peripheral vision, fitness, and adherence to strict instruction to play at a high level of Bball, but that's about all you can read into it as far as how he adapts to footy.

Most bball players I have come across that move into footy are all over the talent spectrum but they all really buy into the structures - makes sense to them coming from bball.

Under 19's last year, so has anyone worked out how old he is?

18, 19, 20, 21?

The article says he is 19

Jesse Hogan & Joel Smith.

That's a combination I would like to see...

 

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

It's the day for it. We're just now getting in touch with Marty McFly to get his signature for next season, last season, and 1987.


Jesse Hogan, Joel Smith and Jack Watts!

I'm still amazed by the Geelong recruitment of Mark Blicavs in similar fashion and how much he evolved.

Would love for Smith to become our Blicavs.

So, what are the rules for a Category B Rookie? Does he need to be upgraded like any other rookie if he is to play? For the purpose of playing list numbers, does he take one of the rookie spots? How many years can he stay on the list as a Category B Rookie?


Seems like a good time to revisit:

Was sitting right behind this mark, the only interstate game I've ever been to.

Genuine surprise and excitement over this announcement.

Hats off to the club for playing their cards so close to their chest this trade period.

Wow!

I love the romance of the preseasons' endless possibilities.

The drums are sounding and it feels great.

Bragger...... That is pretty awesome though! I wish

Me

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...

Me....back six months ago...

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
