If you want a tall then next year’s the year for it. There’s a 199cm tall from SA called Harry Lemmy who will be all the rage next year as a key position forward prospect.

Surely his nickname is "Motorhead".

Perception is everything when we talk about footballers. 

Here’s a comparison drawn by Twitter poster Joshua Kay

Nic Naitanui

194 H&A games

Shane Mumford

But they both had significant impact on the outcome of games for their respective sides and one a hell of a lot cheaper than the other

Apparently was joint winner of the Morrish Medal. Could be also be available for our 2nd or 3rd pick perhaps?

Dave Grohl is a big fan of young Josh and has already nicknamed him "Monkey".

Fron SEN on Blake Howes and Josh Rentsch

Blake Howes

“Wingman from the Sandringham Dragons. 190cm and pretty athletic,” Twomey said.

“He’s somewhere around the 30 mark for me.”

Josh Rentsch

“He’s a big key forward, a strapping lad from the Ballarat region,” Twomey said.

“He kicks it a mile and reminds me of a little bit of Tim Membrey. He just gets the ball, clunks it and kicks goals.

“He won the Morrish Medal (tied with Flynn Lakey).

“He’s probably a second half of the draft prospect.”
