makes our picks 40 and 53 very exciting doesnt it !!
sorry...my bad...I saw the correlation
So you put 'leadership" at the head of the list of criteria upon which you select players ? Id put it at about 99% irrelevant How many kings or queens on a Chess Board ? I each...everyone else is a role player. Thats a footy team...a bunch of role players. Leaders will naturally rise to the surface ( or occasion ) Why youd even bother considering that at drafting when you have no real idea whether a lot of these kids can even step up is beyond me. again thanks
Leadership is a lot of crap as a criteria as to whether a player is a player....this is the great fallacy. Youre trying to draft players.. Leaders will show themselves in due course. Thankyou for highlighting this absolute area of rubbish
I have no doubt they do. wonder what the beep test results are for accountancy grads ????
glad its all been cleared up !!
easy ?? try Eh Sea Dee See !! aye sounds like...eye !!
A lot of the psychometric testing is just way overboard for the role the kids are being looked at for. Its footy. Paint it any way one likes and its essentially about general fitness , athleticism and most importantly the ability to PLAY the game. Judging by what many go through you'd think we were evaluating prospects for combat fighter school !! As SS suggests they are over-thinking a lot of this. Yes it's about having an aptitude for the game at the 'elite' level ( god I hate this word elite nowadays lol ) but imho they've created far too complex a labyrinth for them ( draftees ) to course. Its not quite a sledgehammer to a Walnut but then you can crack a Walnut without aid if you know what you're on about. This is how i think when all is said and done that picks are made..by the recruiters judging whether a kid can play. The rest is icing...and far too much of it.
why am I not surprised !! He ( contestant ) was obviously 'wired' differently from most
F O R W A R D S !! easy
It's got me stuffed. Think it's more about justifying a 'service' industry i.e all the HR people and such A lot of it is supposedly about problem solving techniques and personality traits.... Myers Brigg etc. Not sure what it really has to do with footy though...but hey
reminds me of that gem A Battleship is coming down Swanston St .....what do you do ? Answer ....torpedo it from my Submarine !! Where did you get a submarine from ? Same f'n place where you got your Battleship !!
no one is
Well..I wasnt overly enamoured with Benny Boys highlights either but Port fans are spitting chips and our FD is grinning so what the do I know ( from just watching vids that is..lol ) I saw some good kicking and some very decent tackling ( actuallu clever tackling ) in and amongst Petyraccas reels. Id be pretty happy if it was he and Brayshaw called out..having said that the gods will probably arrange something entirely different !!..as they do
Not only can he kick...but he knows where to kick it.. He has good footy vision ( well to me ) . He can roost it over 50m ( and should get better ) or stab it in over 25. Be quite happy if he 'slips' to us . Not the 'stab' of old but a low hard drop punt today
thats the one...pretty good kicking really... imho
