Re: Rhylee West
Was about to ask the question when F/S and Academy pre-selections needed to be made and this thread comes along in a timely manner...great news. Can still remember his dad kicking 6 goals against Essendon at WO and running around in number 14. Suspect Rhylee might try for that jumper if he gets the chance.
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

Re: Rhylee West
I just had a look at the vision within the link again. He looks awesome, the play at about 55 seconds from the back pocket where he holds the footy under high pressure shrugging a couple of tackles, and then quickly changing direction to hit a target moving away from him is excellent.
I know it's a highlights package, but the kid can seriously play. Seriously. He seems to have plenty of hurt factor in congestion too - just possibly not the sexy type more evident in open play.
We are getting a bargain.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

An absolute steal for us .

Re: Rhylee West
Great news.
On Dunkley, every year we've drafted a Dunkley, we've won a flag. By this logic, we should absolutely draft him.

Re: Rhylee West
Give Rhylee #6 so he can brag to his dad that despite his million B&Fs, that he's already got a higher jumper number than him.

That would suggest he should start off with #13
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Does it? I think it suggests he should start off with 6 as Scott West ended his career in #7 not #14.

Looks good in traffic but i do worry how those looping kicks will translate to AFL

Spitting image also; I saw a picture of him the other day and he looks exactly like him in the face.

Yeah but I'm really bad at counting. You didn't think of that, did you? Bwahahahaha!

Can someone remind me how these Father and Son picks work? Happy to hear we are getting a bargain, and a player who loves us!

Re: Rhylee West
The inevitable comparisons with his old man hold true but I reckon there's a bit of Sam Mitchell about his game and distribution style as well, perhaps with a shade less silk at this early point.
His guile, patience and vision in close augurs very very well for our more outside blokes.

Wiki more accurate nowadays but still has some discrepancies.
