Seems to have a bit of 'Air' Jordon hang time. He jumps, look where his opponents are, then team mates, marks the ball, checks wind direction, seeks out the best grass, then lands. Impressive. 

OK, just wanted to be the first to make unreal observations and expectations of him before he is completely shredded here after round one. 😉

Did he play footy for Xavier?  Or am I missing something?

1st XVIII Vice Captain at Xavier. Played predominantly as a Full-Forward and as a CHF. Good moving. Solidly built, hard to defend given his size. Played up in the country when APS Football was on break.

 

A couple of glimpses in here of him training at his new home 

 


Welcome to the mighty Dees Oliver Seston a real surprise packet from JT this one, just shows that players can still fall between the cracks leading up to AFL. Glad that you fell our way a great story, who kicks 24 goals?? 186cm power forward if you are good enough could fill a niche role for us but will enjoy watching your exploits at Casey in any case.  Good luck.!!!

Had to come back from schoolies cause he was getting drafted! How good.

How’s the loser that think he is Bailey Smith, glad we didn’t draft that bloke

Got a touch of Allen Jakovich about him.

Exactly my thought and why I’m WRAPPED with this pick!!!

Dees only club who showed real interest after he was a top-up player in tune up session for top draft talent — Taylor is a master. They loved the drive in his legs and skills below his feet then when saw highlights they were apparently that excited they couldn’t contain themselves. Planned to have him train in preseason but took him instead in RD to show faith. One to watch 100% highlights look sensational — literally a JAKO clone bit of Cuthbertson maybe too

He looks a bit like an old mate of mine Mick Clinton from Bonbeach who trained with the the Dees 1980 but hated Slug Jordan so didn't continue.

Medium sized, good leap and pack mark, thinning hair line

The other clubs need two scouts at every session; one to watch the prospects and one to watch whoever JT is watching

24 goals is some bragging rights.

Didnt frittas brother kick 20?

I wonder what kind of athletic testing they’ve got on him. Xavier might be doing their own these days, because that would probably be my biggest worry.

If you can’t run you can’t play, no matter how good you are. 

Either way I’m excited that we took a chance on a high upside smokie. Obviously  I’m not expecting the same instant returns but you see Essendon getting someone like Nic Martin and Jai Newcombe at the Hawks and it shows there’s good players out there coming from different pathways. 

Hope it isnt just a case of a mature body in an under age comp?


Sounds like a DD special he was worried that our Cat B's would deny chances too

Worst case scenario he'll be a good bodyguard for Jefferson

Not sure on these 2 picks don't know much about them. Whatever Taylor picks I'm happy with he's proven himself over the years.

 

Casey

B: Adams, Turner, J.Smith

HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, McVee

C: Howes, Dunstan, Woewodin

HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Melksham

F: Moniz-Wakefield, Schache, Jefferson

FOLL: Verrell, Jordon, Laurie

IC: D.Smith, Sestan, Farris-White, N\A

We still have 1 spot left for the train ons. Wonder if Emile-Brennan will be one of those?

Bags of  9, 4, 8, 24, 3, 5.  That is really impressive!  Be exciting one to watch. Just a hunch watching the highlights.... he will be playing senior footy this year. Casey games we are going to have lot of players to track.  We got a lot of talent developing, exciting times!

Maybe the MFC had hidden the boy from the public and not asked him to the draft combine so no recruiter noticed him but Cal Twomey said he when head to head with NM recruit George Wardlaw recently and gave him a touchup?

That is promising ...

We must get Gary Lyon - a local in the GValley with contacts - to give us some inside info on this lad.

 

Being named Oliver is a good sign

  • 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?
