Ayce Cordy

Re: Ayce Cordy

According to footywire, Ayce is still registered as 77kg & it's the same on the Herald Sun website.

It is 90kg in the current edition of the Footy Record (ie Round 2 edition) and it was 90kg on the Western Bulldogs official site up until a week or so ago.

You could see how much weight he'd put on last year by just looking at him.

From memory, someone on here spoke with him and he told them he'd put on about 14kg.

Re: Ayce Cordy

With so much APS footy, you would expect him to aim for Willy 1sts for the second half of the year. He has some raw skill which excites me very much, much like the Bou to Comrade. But next year will be his first year of solid footy against men. Don't expect too much, too soon.

You don't think he'd get a gig at Willy 1sts for most of the year?

Re: Ayce Cordy

Ayce was always going to take a little time....and especially so after missing virtually all of 2008 before he was drafted. Don't give up on him. He's going to be fine.

Welcome aboard KW and no one has given up on him. Looking forward to his debut.

So it appears Hawthorn also has their very own Ayce Cordy - Luke Lowden. Been on the list for six years and now is making his debut this round.

More proof maybe that tall players tend to take more time to develop.

Re: Ayce Cordy

Unbelievable. It just shows the big kids do take time to develop.

There is a video segment with Ayce on the website (inside the pack) and he speaks confidently about his progress this year. Not sure if he really believes it, or is trying to sell it...

He has another season and a half to convince us all either way...

Re: Ayce Cordy

I hope he proves me and many others wrong. I've been really hoping this for a while though, nothing would make me happier.

Re: Ayce Cordy

Heard from those at the game today, that Ayce was probably best on ground. Good to hear.

Did he play as a ruck or forward or both?

Played both. Mainly forward with some time in the ruck. It was the best game I've seen Ayce play. Would love to think he could do it at AFL level.

Does that performance change your opinion of him slim? Just about everyone has said he has no future at AFL level so it would be great if Ayce could prove us wrong.

Re: Ayce Cordy

Great to see Ayce playing well. He has had a rough start to his career with injuries and high expectations from everyone to deal with. It was good to see Lowden from Hawthorn debut with 3 goals with him being on their list for 6 years or something. It gives me hope for our Ayce that the horse may not have bolted just yet.
