Crikey, he looks massive when you consider his age.
Imagine him after another pre-season.
Can't wait.

He looks fat to me... Really needs to offload the puppy fat
Yesterday he was slow and sloppy... His touch will come
Like Dunstan
He really needs to shed some kgs

Re: VFL Rd 17 Sandringham Vs Williamstown
I really disagree with a few comments on Arryn Siposs in this thread
No ticker... Not sure in what sense? Courage? Work ethic?
Absolutely courageous, never deviates from the line of the ball... Yesterday he played FF/CHF against Lee, Fisher and Delaney. Able to compete strongly against bigger bodies. Work Ethic, his running power was average, a poor endurance base naturally but injuries hurt his ability to get any continuity into his body. Having said that, the transformation of his body from u18 to AFL was enormous ... He now sits at 90+ kg and is built!
Not football ability, not sure how to find it. How to win one on ones?
Incorrect. A natural footballer who grew up a midfielder until a growth spurt put him at FF because of his hands and kicking. He finds his way around the ground easily winning footy, he did it last year playing at Sandy as a mid. He also used to dominate as a plus one. And he was drafted on the provision that for his size he is a great one on one player who rarely gets out pointed given his size that was a strength. He beat all opponent one out yesterday who are AFL listed defenders.
His issue
Not big enough to play as a marking option
Not quick enough to play on a running player and gets exploited on the spread and defensively
Amazing lateral movement though... He steps people with ease... Great hands off the deck and in the air
And a cannon right leg
But a classic tweener
If his body didn't keep failing, he'd still be in the afl
4 of 5 seasons he had a major injury

Re: VFL Rd 17 Sandringham Vs Williamstown
Players are recruited off the back of State League performances, and succeed,
I always had regard for Siposs as someone who could significantly contribute - but injury and lack of continuity at AFL level including the positions he was selected in impacted and we rarely saw his full potential - albeit it was on show on occasions.
Given he was selected in the VFL team v the SANFL (but did not play because of injury) and his performance last weekend I would not be disappointed if St Kilda had a word to him re his future ambitions and offered him a place on our List for 2017.
We could do worse with a late Draft Pick/Rookie List pick.
I am not a great believer in going backwards, but this may be one occasion where there are rewards.

Re: VFL Rd 17 Sandringham Vs Williamstown
He just can't get his running to the standard required of a mid size
His ability is obvious
IMO he would be in the top 8 at stk for pure footy skill... Hands in the air or deck, disposal both sides, traffic awareness, ability to find the ball...
But bottom 8 in aerobic ability and speed

Hence having a conversation with him.
Fitness can be acquired given commitment (and body allowing).

Re: VFL Rd 17 Sandringham Vs Williamstown
Have there been many players delisted, played for year(s) in lower leagues and redrafted by the same club? Not being sarcastic, genuinely curious.To the top wrote:Players are recruited off the back of State League performances, and succeed,

No not a joke
Paddy has zero muscle definition... And a lot of puppy fat... He's big, but not strong yet
Luke has plenty of muscle... He's too heavy and needs to shed 5
