Senior 33. Shannon Neale (2021-)

[GeelongFTW]

Yes, that was great work and vital....but its hard to go past Enright IMO....that said, I am not dogmatic about it and you could build a case for the Taylor pick without too much effort....

Taylor for picking for need/ immediate impact.
Enright for value (pick number vs player quality)

in the same draft as Harry ? There was robust discussion at the time amongst us all over that pick. It worked out well for both us & the hawks in the end....

No harry was 2007.

Smith was pick 19 in 2010 we took smedts at 15 and guthrie at 23.

 

[you pick one]

No harry was 2007.

Smith was pick 19 in 2010 we took smedts at 15 and guthrie at 23.

Billies highlight

 

[GeelongFTW]

Smith was a mature ager and that must be the source of confusion.

Yes...that's the confusion. Billy over Smithy

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Correct he was drafted at 21.

So umm, that Shannon Neale kid we drafted - has anyone heard how he's adapted to preseason training or other such news on the kid

Surely cats_09, discussion about Shannon Neale belongs in another thread.

yeah, he's up 5kgs....





i mean now using the 5kgs dumbbells.

Looked to be striding out nicely in the latest clip...maybe not this year..but you never know..

We dont need him this year necessarily but we do in 2-3 years when Stanley is retiring or no longer best 22. Important kid for us moving forward.

 

[CatRiot]

Has some serious size about him now... When he Flexes I mean...

I wonder if he has good ball reading, he is a smooth runner though, has some pace. Hopefully his skills keep developing.

 

[David the Cat]

Bloody hell...there's some serious muscle development there. Love to see his rig when he was drafted.

There'd be quite a contrast I reckon.

He comes from a sporty family, I suspect he wasn’t really that small.
Would’ve been ripped but less muscle

 

[dazbroncos]

Not that I needed confirmation of his asset to us, but that bump in the first 1/4 he took / layed to contest a ball in dispute was brilliant.

Never waivered from his commitment to the contest. Came off second best but it was great mindset to see.

He's the real deal. Should be our #1 re-signing priority.

And if that means spend the $$ - then ****ing spend the money.

GO Catters

 

[dazbroncos]

Kicked 15 in 7 games as a Forward.

Not sure id play him as ruck in the AFL side as thats not really what hes been doing...

But he's gotta get a shot soon

GO Catters

 

[Drunkcat]

He will be in the cats jumper again next year, i don't think he wants to go anywhere yet

He can pinch hit in the ruck, it’s not all about the tap outs.
It’s about when the ball hits the deck and around the ground, which I think he can do pretty easily IMO

That last goal rewrites the book on limitations of 200+ players

The thing I like is the bread and butter ones. Mark ..go back and kick the goal. If he can do that at AFL level he becomes a very valuable player.

Yes...I noticed that at every set shot, the goal umpire didn't move.

Looks like a very competent set shot. The lad kicks the goals when its delivered to him.
