I suppose it’s only natural to compare draftees to those who have gone before, and I’m usually loathe to do it after copping some stick in the past. (There were those who took exception to me comparing a young Zach Merrett to Gary O’Donnell… and fair enough - GOD was loyal)
But ■■■■ it.
The way this kid runs, where he runs, the non-aversion to body contact, the vision at the contest, the creative handball… it all reminds me a lot of Jobe Watson.
Cause they they use the same “negotiation tactics” as the Hawks
Looks a bit more dynamic to me than Jobe. I e heard knocks in his pace and kicking, but both look more than fine to me.
Jeepers! We’ve got one. Has the manic hustle of Timmy Watson, seems to do it all easy though. Don’t let him near our development team unless it’s for him to develop them. Wow!
They’re also slightly bigger than Nik cox
There are a few players you could compare him to but there is definitely a bit of Libba about his movement around the contest.
Listening to this guy makes me wanna strap the boots on and get out there! and my last game was over 25yrs ago
And for the same result.
How long into his first game before BT yells
“Simply the best from Sharp!”
I dont gamble, but I reckon I might put a small wager on him for the rising star
Dont waste your coin. The media will be frothing over the northern NGA players. Get in on Zeke or Patto
As if the media dont impact the rising star
ANNOUNCE THE APPLIANCE
He’s SAs premiership captain, clearly an onfield leader and has future Essendon Captain written all over him. Grew up a Dons fan, so there’s little chance he’ll want to leave. I’m absolutely rapt.
And this was them both at my old club
His old man was one of the best country footballers I’ve ever seen and could have comfortably played SANFL but decided it wasn’t for him
Noose tat around the fingers speaks volumes.
Can handball. That’s enough for me.
Great hair too x
