The potential to ultimately be so at AFL level is definitely there to see, yes.

To clarify: if heās kept on the ground heās not better than Carlisle and may never be, as his frame is not quite as wide. He knows that and rarely engages that way. In the air, howeverā¦

That position is covered for years.

Dives?
Stages?
Gives cheapies?

I wonder if he can put on the needed size? Or do we have another Christian Bock?

Lol nah just the good parts.
Courageous, reads the play well and awareness to kill, halve and rebound outta contests
CHB for the next 10 years. Not as good a mark as Carlisleā¦yet but there is one big difference.
This kid has a crack.
He reads the play so well and is as cool as a cucumber and has been all year
We got a good one here.
Ive been potting Jackets for a while but he may make me eat my words. Throw in the efforts of Redman and Ridley in the seniors of late and the rise of the SSS.

Just quietly, the one in the 2ās Iām most excited about. Legitimately excellent prospect

THIS is the crucial issue. Looks like he will be more in the Fletch than Hooker mould.
I wasnāt comparing. I was asking a question. I literally havenāt seen him play at all.

Heās got decent width across the shoulders, heās just not massive like Carlisle.
Bock was a freak. Hereās a graph I prepared earlierā¦

Thing I love about him the most? He looks a natural footballer in the way that Francis does. Often appears to have the ball on a string - Our next gen back 6 is looking primo and the Nu Fletch Boyz aināt even on the scene!
Zerk is a lot more cat-like than Carlisle once the ball hits the ground. Makes good decisions with ball in hand too, very unlike Jerrett and Long. Watching him today, I did think he was a little like Rance in the way he moves, a cm taller too. Needs to put on a few (dozen) Kgs thoughā¦

Nah, heāll put the weight on. Heās a lot thinner above the waist than below at the moment. That will balance out over the next few years and we should have a pretty solid bloke on our hands. Which will be great, because he is seriously hard at the contest.

He good enough/ready for a late season debut?
Yes, but doubt they will play him. Plenty of depth ATM so they wonāt rush him in as much as Iād love it to happen
