some of you may have seen this video last year but just in case a great reminder of the kids talent
sure just in the Sydney AFL comp but his anticipation, change of pace, execution and his lateral movement from his non preferred foot to the preferred is seriously as dangerous as anyone i have seen
Brandon Jack AFL Recruitment Video - YouTube
for me 1min 58secs in sums up why i believe he is going to apply some serious pressure for being in the 22 in 2014 - there is a maturity to this kick and lowering of the eyes to find a great target when he could have kicked for goal
this kid is a serious raw talent that me thinks surprised even his own brother in 2013 season
if he can surprise Kizza in 2013 maybe he can surprise us fans again in 2014 !
Ive made a few massive calls lately in saying that I think Rampe will be in our 22 for many years to come and equally i do believe that he may start to play more a HBF Midfield rotation over time - maybe not 2014 as Mal gets alot of the ball still but maybe in 2015 onwards........not many players can match crampy rampey in his 3km trials and just about every other test in pre season so no reason he wont bring it after another pre season !
I too truly believe in what i see with Brandon Jack - the kid just ooses a freakish skill level for a kid playing on the only the last 3 or 4 seasons and he certainly projects a steely mind that seems to me a 10yr player........massive call i know but i will stand by Brandon and Rampe featuring in 2014 and seriously making it very difficult for others to jump ahead of them in the 22
Laidler for me was only brought in to cover Mattner, Shaw, AJ all being slow rehabs or retired re Mattner

i think the coaches were even surprised !!
2013 COACHES CALL
We drafted him because he?s got speed. He?s another one from our Academy and has physical attributes you can?t teach in how quick he is. You can teach kids football stuff, but it?s hard to teach genuine speed, which he has got.
Pre-season has been good. He needs to work aerobically, but he?s an athlete. He?s a very lightly-built footballer so we need him to develop physically as well as in his football knowledge.
We hope in 2013 that he can learn about football and learn his trade. He?s still very raw so this year is very much about development for him.
