Made it pretty clear.....

Cockie is a good footballer.... Will easily step up to AFL level.... Has a lot more pace than reported, he is explosive over the first 5 metres

Why would they report that he has less pace than he actually has? :shock:

Who is reporting that?

He is a very solid build, maybe that is confused with pace.... Over 100 he wouldn't be quick at all.... But put a ball within 10m of him and Rhys and blow a whistle, I'd guarantee Adam would win the ball, push off Rhys and run away from him

There is inside and outside speed.... And also footy speed, which is very different to straight line sapped over a set distance

You posted he has more pace than is being reported.

I think BigMart is both reporting that he has no pace and disagreeing with himself in the same sentence. Confusing.

Wow, I didn't realise I knew so little. I have now discovered I am not in a position to offer an opinion on a player if someone asks me !!

I didin't realise there was inside speed, outside speed, football speed. straight line speed.......


Wow. I alway just thought there was acceleration and terminal velocity. Oh, and amphetamines.......



Always amusing to see someone keep on digging as a means of getting out of a hole................

I guess you've never heard of slow-fast or un-quick-pace?

Stanley is probably the quickest bloke in the comp, but he's not fast if you blow a whistle.

Try and keep up…

Who would we kick off the list to give Cockie a try?

I consider he would be OK ish , in a Robert Eddy sort of way. He'd be good depth if we were challenging next season.
But I'd rather be playing younger draftee's with more potential upside. ( Ross and Saunders for example ).

Us, probably no one.... But if Lenny Retires, we may need some strong body depth in the centre to help the kids.... And who knows, perhaps he might do a 'podsiadly' who was only ever supposed to be a 1/2 year stop gap.... He became their key forward

Why didn't Cockie make it at West Coast?
Has his VFL/WAFL game developed a lot since then?
