Re: Welcome Matthew Arnot
Gotta say his kicking to position was impeccable. I didn't see one target missed in the highlights and none were short kicks either. Wonder if he has a right foot though. On the surface looks like a great pickup. And again another player of strong build. I think we've worked out the trend for this year.

Re: Welcome Matthew Arnot
Seen plenty of highlights packages with kicks to opposition, bombs in the air, short danky kicks. Even under pressure he seemed to find the right options or squeeze kicks to his man between opposition players. Just thought it stood out that's all.

Re: Welcome Matthew Arnot
Cheers for posting that Smoking.
There's a moment at .49 seconds in his highlight clip on the RFC site where I just went wow, great 2nd efforts and loves the contact. Looks a solid kick too.
Matt White should be nervous.

Re: Welcome Matthew Arnot
Any pick this late is speculative. Particularly in this draft.
I wondered whether we've gone away from speculation on talent and towards speculation on effort?
All the commentary suggests this is a kid who will give it all he's got, and who really wants to succeed.
As opposed to a kid who has endless talent but may not have the will to do what's needed. (Former Player Troy Taylor? Former Player Mitch Morton?)
Seems like he's got some strong positives in the aggression and the kicking. We have a chance to help him learn where he is deficient and he sounds like the type who will work hard to improve.
Overall that seems pretty good. Go the Biscuit. Or maybe the Hardtack?

Go Tiges.

No worries TOO. Its good to hear the view of opposition supporters.Tigers of Old said:
No doubt. But he influenced a game on his debut playing with one of the premier teams in VFL. Its got to say something about the kids ability.SAF said:
Re: Welcome Matthew Arnot
Can't help but think that this has been a massive shift in culture since the arrival of Hardwick.
A player who absolutely made the most of his raw talent and went onto become a great player.
That's one thing that often gets missed with these kids by outside observers, they've all got the talent to get a ticket to the big show but do they have the internal fortitude to improve beyond that.
After being burned on a few players taken recently it seems to be that's why we're now placing a heavy emphasis on the character testing.

Hope this guy is right. Certainly looks the type we need.

You can see how much work he's put into those guns already. The right genes probably help I spose.

Welcome to the greatest club in the league, Matty, don't let the darksiders get you down
There's still plenty available e.g Waldhuter, Morris, but why ?SCOOP said:
