Yep, there was a bit of consternation around picking a bolter who didn't play in the nationals but I'm happy to say the recruiting team have got this one right. They haven't done much wrong since Taylor came on board and I think it's an area of our club that definitely deserves some praise, especially turning around from where they came.
Well done for backing themselves and not getting caught up in the hype of Parish, a player who we definitely would've picked a few years ago. Targeting these big bodied, aggressive players has been a real focus and will see us be one of the more hard-nosed teams in the coming years.
I wanted us to get Weideman somehow, & if we manged to snavel a mid before, then great. We got Wiedeman, & this other kid I never heard of, prior to the weid.

I was at Highgate arena today and I watched him very closely.
I will file a comprehensive player personel report later but I have to say.
This Bloke is the "Real Deal"
On so many levels he is an inspired selection. I say inspired because the Toumpas fiasco of yesteryear, The pressure to pick Darcy Parish, and or one or two others.
So I'll give you my observations,
1 He set's himself in the right position for Offence or Defense
2 He has uncanny spatial competency! I'll call it the Dr. Who factor! He creates time and appears that he has plenty of time and peripheral vision to assess the right option for disposal which he gives off effortlessly. I have previously called the is the "Greg Williams" effect. I reckon if Greg saw him he would agree coz he's just as tough and Quicker!!!!!!
3 I saw him dispose of by foot today and he is very precise and clinical.
4 He has serious "Grunt Factor" got crunched once or twice got up dusted himself of and stared again.
5 Went for a few "Species" again don't mind a Mid playing tall, infact he was in FF for a period of time
6 He is taller than I first imagined but with good Musculature in the Thighs which then prepare him for good "Core" strength.
I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself but Sheeit I reckon he is Bloody GOLD nugget!
I'm putting a lazy $50 on him as the 2016 Rising star and I hope to Christmas he doesn't read Demomland and I've' put the mozz on him
Oh one other thing I agree with Dazzle Man, I don;t read anything into the Chuckin and 70% game time It was friggen Bloody hot out there today!!
hi Pickets, what do ya reckon would we get $cully for him in a swap?

IMO Kyrios is a kid who had Tomic as a peer model for last few years. outspoken brash is nothing wrong, as its him..... but under pressure it can leave him sounding like a pratt. I just have wondered what Tomics attitude over the last 3 years has done to Kyrios attitude..
I think Kyrios appears to be settling, after a pressure filled 12 months, & Kyrios is the talented one with agility & speed & court coverage & shots.
Tomic to me is Philippoussis Mk2.... playboy xtrordinare
Dasher IMO is restricted with power
Kokkinakis is ???
Does anyone else think Kyrios is our most talented up&comer?
I think he's doing well for such a young fella on the international pro stage with his game. the behaviours will slowly mature as he feels more at ease in the environment.

I loved this guy's father who would've and could've run through a brick wall. Jack will do that but he brings more than that. Opponents will be taking shorter steps they way they did when Rod Grinter was running towards them.

we need a lot more of grinter in our makeup.. the toughness of 'rodney',, not so much the 'late ' ruggedness. & we need plenty of his skills as well.

ANyone else notice Jesse wasn't smiling in the team photo?
OMG......panic stations....
(and Watts was smiling his head off....)
I think your referring to the talk of $cully not smiling in his initial club photo at the draft, & after jumper presentation... $cully didn't smile,,,,,, & as it happens $cully indeed did leave for Foreign
X-changepastures....... so yes, the irony of him not smiling immediately after getting drafted & presented with the Dees jumper was an indication of his mood, & future thoughts.

Well that was some match, as good as I have seen in women's tennis. Great win by a girl who was not overwhelmed by the Williams circus and power game. Great effort
She's a BE-auty,,,, I willed & willed her to win last night. Ans she does remind me of Stephi Graph in her play. maybe not as good but similar.
what a refreshing change from IMO the spoilt Serena.
Go _ Kerba.

Does anyone else think our talented young men players have overstepped the mark with their outspokenness?
Hewitt was brash, at times obnoxious but he always showed great respect for the game and usually for other players, especially the greats of the game.
Kyrios and Tomic have potential galore but Kyrios' on court behaviour and the media comments of both, make me cringe. Their latest antics:
Kyrios answers mobile on court: http://www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis/australian-open-2016-nick-kyrgios-in-hot-water-after-answering-his-phone-on-court-20160123-gmcphj.html
Tomic puts down Federer (rightly or wrongly I don't know but not very smart): http://www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis/australian-open-2016-bernard-tomic-takes-aim-at-roger-federer-20160123-gmcptn.html
Maybe they should let their racquets do the talking until they actually achieve something!

the Australian culture those oldies grew from, was the close-knit Aussie culture after the wars. teamwork was commonplace.
nowadays differing cultures brought up within competative fight to survive culture has people divided. kids from the wrong ethnicity are on the outside wanting in but rejected most of their lives. when some get the high foothold that competitiveness can turn spiteful.
I still think Kyrios is the pick of all, & will be a great Aussie.
