Welcome Oliver Hayes-Brown

I'm pretty confident if Nank missed next week, our next no1 ruck, Samson Ryan, would come straight into the team if fit.
Debate? What debate?
I would say a 3 year contract says much more about Ryan. but yes great see the improvement OHB is making.
I'm totally with this. He cant kick a football. Same action as my old girl.
You probably didn't know this, but apparently all-time AFL great (sic) Scott Pendlebury was a really good junior basketballer. It really helps your development for AFL they say.
Who would have thought ...?
If we had to play him at AFL level, everyone would be shocked at how poor his kicking is. Dusty et al would be instructed to run around for the takeaway any time he got a kick.
Yeah it's interesting to see how hands on Ivvy is with Ollie at training. I get the angst on his kicking but at training they seem to be focusing on his bodywork for rucking and marking contests and then overall ground positioning. It's almost like we'll work on 2 or 3 things and then focus on the next few items. I get that approach.
He’s far from a finished product but his trajectory is as high as any junior in our program.
I've got this wild idea that will probably never catch on but here goes.
Draft a ruckman.

Soldo looked all at sea early. It's often said those that come to the game late actually become quite good kicks of the footy because a poor action isn't hardwired so less difficult to correct. Fingers crossed the hyphen can get it right.
He’s well ahead of Soldo at the same stage. His kicking is an issue, but it’s improving.
His other weakness is he sometimes forgets to put in a second effort when the ball is grounded. He’s still learning to remain focused on the game full time and learning where to run to , but he’s been fantastic overall considering where he’s come from.
He’s been a massive find in comparison to Colina and I think he will surpass Ryan by mid next year.
