Friggin' weird kicking action, especially under pressure.
But I kind of like that.
So many footballers have, dare I say it, vanilla disposal by foot. There's so much more you can do with a footy than a perfectly spinning drop punt, and it looks like this kid knows that.
Hope he gets a crack at it.
I was about to say the same thing about his kicking.
I hope it's not so awkward that he can shank the odd kick here and there.
I do like his speed and willingness to run into space.
Nice pick for such a late pick.
Would love to see Tippa, Eades, Fantasia and Colyer all in the same team.
Kicking action reminds me of Cockatoo-CollinsâŚif he turns out anywhere near as good.
This pick, given Yestins past shows a new/old Essendon
does it ?
couple of posts now mentioning his troubled past, have no idea what it is don't really care. The kid moved to the other side of the country to make a go of things, instead of sticking around in a bad environment and relying on talent to trick people into giving you a go cos of it.
it may be semantics or spliting hairs to some, but still IMO totally different situations. and i guess the best way to explain it would be, would he be drafted, let alone by us, if heâd stayed in perth, in a bad environment, making bad decisions ?
youâd have to go with no.
So itâs not really the same situation as youâre trying to make it out to be. Sometimes people make bad decisions and learn from it, sometimes they donât, there inlies the difference you donât get by your original statement, Yes we all know why (being a blackfella and all), but still IMO doesnât mean itâs a new/old essendon thing, I doubt they picked him cos heâs a certain race and has some talent and thatâs it, like the âsheedy essendonâ aboriginal policy was that youâre referencing.
