He's also the same height as James Frawley, who is a Key Position player.

Not saying he does.

I heard Charlie Cameron talk about what he eats and he stated outright that his go to meals are McDonalds and KFC. It’s called junk food for a reason.

We seem to have a pretty switched on spy in the SANFL. I hope we can develop an equally good eye for talent in the TAC.
Some like Robbie Young did not pan out, though he was worth a go. Logan Austin looked ok, but did not go on with it.
Now one is newer going to nail every pick, but so far SA is proving an excellent path for us to pick up good talent at discounted prices.
Only 2 games with Sharman, but so far so good for as above he just looks to be a natural forward. He obviously reads the play well and knows when and where to move.
He looks to be a good and clean mark with good mobility.
At 192cm he is a good height to compliment the 202 cm King, 201 cm Marshall and 190 cm Membrey.

I would say VERY switched on as apparently he was only playing SANFL reserves!Ghost Like wrote: ↑Sun 08 Aug 2021 4:14pmWe seem to have a pretty switched on spy in the SANFL. I hope we can develop an equally good eye for talent in the TAC.
Makes you wonder what talent must have been playing in the firsts if he couldn't get a game.
Very astute recruiting I think.

I thought his progress would be similar to Jack Mayo.
6 games for Woodville 2nds for 15 goals and 3 games for 3 goals for Woodville 1sts and yet Sharman looks comfortable at AFL level in same year. Woodville must have a seriously strong team.

Re: Sharman
It's great, isn't it ,that because of so many injuries Sharman, Highmore, Connolly, Clavarino, Bytel, Byrnes, etc get a few consecutive games.
And as a bonus, all of them have played well or shown glimpses.
I think Connolly will replace Billings eventually(QB). Highmore has Carlisle's spot. Bytel will replace Dunstan. And Sharman will get a regular spot forward.
Not too shabby.

Re: Sharman
Seems to have natural knack for using the best angles to attack the ball. A few contests in the game where he got to the ball first by attacking it on a more efficient angle. Maybe it's agility too, that he can pivot and change the angles. It's where he has a big advantage over Battle who seems to struggle changing direction.Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Sun 08 Aug 2021 3:53pmEven when the ball is kicked to the most disadvantageous position for him - he still made it work.
Has good hands and a nice spring. Seems to finish well also.
His highlight reel showed some nice field kicking to team mate's advantage. His kick to Higgins in the game was well weighted (many in our team would have blown that kick).
Great pick up so far, some more strength over summer and could be very handy

It has given the club the opportunity to look at new players who may never have the a chance to prove themselves (especially with little VFL) and also to renew the
career of DMac.

Please none of the current coaches try and "teach" him anything.
The Sherminator looks good. Skinny but holds his ground. Doesnt appear to have the tank for the midfield but looks comfortable in his first couple of outings. Lots of room for improvement which I believe are in his abilities to grow into.

Re: Sharman
True. Tom Hawkins has previously said that up until 2006 - he really struggled with home sickness and would resolve it by binge eating Maccas. Our own Adam Schneider talked about the same thing with KFC when he was drafted by Sydney.Scollop wrote: ↑Sun 08 Aug 2021 4:54pmNot saying he does.

It's quick, it's easy, it's accessible and money isn't that much of an issue.
The flipside is that I know of a couple of young KPP players who've been put on burgers, schitznel rolls and steak sandwich diets to try and slam on weight.

Re: Sharman
Did he start the year injured ?
Curious how he was playing reserves at Woodville and now doesn’t look out of place at AFL level.
I wonder how much footy he played last year.

Re: Sharman
Very happy with what I saw.
193 cm moves well, nice and clean hands and got a simple clean kicking style as well.
I assess players for the last 2 weeks of September thats what the club promises that they work to achieve every day.
a 2nd Premiership.
I am on record with my opinion on Membrey, not a huge fan for the 3rd forward role at the elite level.
I saw the 3rd forward role as a half weakness as Membrey is a decent player but I want more and this kid could be the answer.
5 cm taller, more agile and a lovely kick.
We may have nailed another good player.
If only we could be as good with top 10 draft picks.
