May is slower than Richard Lounder.
That's because May hasn't finished yet.I read somewhere recently that our Tom Lynch holds the slowest 20m record at 3.3 seconds
Watching the last two games, he appears to have had limited game time, so i wouldnt be quick to judge. With the club needing to prioritise Kozzi and Cumberland.But folks were saying to promote him before the season and groom as a Lynch replacement....
They going too early (or perhaps desperate because of our lack of kpf) or is he out of form?
Collectively he's gone from PRE's future forward to settling at his level.
Cheers for the feedback. Much appreciatedW

And they are being coached really well. Steve Morris has grown into the job.I know others have said it, but whoever has been recruiting for our VFL side has done a ripping job. It must be tough with the salary cap requirements to build a list to compete, but clearly the focus has been to recruit a few experienced heads (Street, Garner, Olden, Bravo etc) and then go for a lot of young players with big upside that have AFL traits (Johnson, El Nour, Teal) and then pick a bunch of young players that have been ripping up suburban leagues and give them a crack at a higher league, those that are that year or so older than they were at draft time and weren't picked up, that may have again had AFL traits but who have upside too (George, McCarthy, Yassine etc).
The balance that they've got with this list of a few older heads, paired with a bunch of younger VFL players and our younger AFL players is very good at the moment.

Not sure of the stats but I wonder if any other club has provided as many afl players from its vfl program in the last few years

Simply from reading the match report they have loaded up with quality vfl players. Very exciting for the club and Credit to Morris for attracting them.VFL Report: Round 2

some of those were top up players pre their draft year so they don't really count but even so it is an impressive list.
