same hgt as Brent Harvey, similar vibe too.

Harvey is listed as 172. thats 2 inches taller than 167. Thats the same difference as matt mcdonough and dustin martin. sheesh

I reckon as recruiting boss, youde have to have a few non-negotiable rules (obviously, through the 90's and early 00's, our only non-negotiable rule for recruiting was the recruiters have steamed, rather than fried dim sims when on the road).

If I was boss. sub 175 would be almost non-negotiable for me. the case where i would consider overriding the rule, was if the kid was 174, and black.

Would ya recruit Ablett if he was 174?

Agree. especially the kicking penetration. Miles is a case in point. He has clinton king-like penetration by foot. Im presuming that why gws cut him loose? I'd add

-leap

Like Michael Mitchell. You can grow 3 feet real quick if you got a leap.

Prestia is 175. 175 is 3 inches taller than 167. Thats the difference between Brett Deledio and Richo.

If 195 puts you in the KPP column of the draft combine formguide, then 167 put you one out in the dwarf column.

Im sure the young bloke's got the heart of a lion and come from a great family. But theres the laws of physics and that.

I understand your reservations, but like I said, I think Daniel is a special dwarf. Special enough to defy the laws of physics even.

yeah, you can tell he is a good footballer. hard to predict where he'll go in the draft.

Looks like he would fill out well too.
 
Know it's only a highlights package, but the little rodent can certainly play. Apart from size he's certainly got a kitbag full of tools.
 
Daniel is a tremendous junior footballer and you will struggle to see anyone better.

Daniel is very short which will become his biggest hurdle at making it in literally a land of giants. I suspect the team that takes the punt on him will be rewarded and we will all be scratching our heads at how he slipped to whatever club gets him.

More than happy to spend our second pick on him and if it was our first pick i wouldnt be upset either.
 
Everyone thought Lewis Taylor was to small.He's carving it up at the moment!
