Terry been busy this Friday
TDK ain’t gone, he’s just not a pure ruckman. Finally actually have a ruck developing on the list (not really counting Mirkov due to age)
Hudson O'Keeffe
Height: 202cm
Weight: 90kg
D.O.B: 16-12-2004
STRENGTHS:
+ Athleticism
+ Speed
+ Ruck craft
+ Stoppage work
IMPROVEMENTS:
– Aerial ability
– Production
A developing tall who was the number one Ruckman for the Championship-winning Vic Metro side, his mobility and competitive edge are features of his game. Continued to develop his ruck craft at NAB League level and had an outstanding year with the Oakleigh Chargers, averaging nine disposals and 22 hitouts across 11 matches. Showed his elite speed for a Ruckman with a time of 2.96 seconds for the 20m sprint metres at the State Draft Combine in Victoria.
O'Keeffe is a ruck who, despite standing at 202cm, often does the ground level work better than the aerial contests. He is fantastic at leaping and winning the ruck taps – he averaged 21.7 hitouts per game at NAB League level – but still has a lot to work on around the ground.
He's a great project player.
Maybe he's an option to take over from TDK if he leaves?! Not as good of a marking freak like TDK, but it seems similar in their Ruck craft?! I'm only guessing, though.
If I was looking at a defender who is available, I’d consider Jackson Nelson, delisted by West Coast. Not amazing but has at least played AFL level and could be your backup backup
Collingwood swooping on Oleg is the same as a baby that only wants to play with a toy cause someone else has shown interest.. 🤣🤣
# we got depth now baby! 👍👊
202cm player that averages less than a mark a game. Yikes
This bloke has a name
That sounds like a Classic literary Hero… Maybe like a Jane Austen or one of the Bronte Sisters Characters ☺️
It’s an insurance policies incase TDK leaves .
I thought that 32 was binz. Gee he’s a big unit binz I thought
Tdk ain’t leaving
TDK leaving ……… hedging bets by the looks of it. If TDK does go do we get anything for him?
Casey Voss would be a great replacement for Zac Williams
TDK , is an interesting case in point , he is young , ambitious, keen , but moving developing players around,to placate a need probably precipitated by injury , hindered his development after a fashion last season, and being very young, was definitely a bit deflated at seasons end , but time is a great healer and if he applies himself he'll most likely play in a Premiership side this year , player driven , this group heard the collective penny drop , fk we actually sold ourselves short , this season beware the BLUES,,,. GO BLUES RARARA
2023 will either make or break TDK
Coming from a pies supporter cincotta can play! Played highschool footy with him and always gave 110% in all his efforts, also a very quick and silky with his ball use . You'll be in good hands if he gets selected
Terry and Pommy this kid to play AFL levels needs three years at list he is not going to bushing any one out may they see some things about him for long projects
I wouldn't be too upset if we trade TDK at the end of the year. If we can get something in the ball park of what Melbourne got for Luke Jackson, we would have to take it.
I'm very excited to have another tall developing on our list, and O'Keeffe sounds like a great prospect. Also, do we call him HOK?
Hey guys much love and best wishes from Olympia Washington just finishing off the NFL season up here this one went by so fast. Excited for Carlton to get started, thinking they are going to do great things this season.
Any player over 200cm is worth a spot on our list. He's gonna take developing and it could just be to cover Mirkov or Tdk.
Gov and Marchy are being trained and prepared completely different to main group is what ive been told. They want their bodies to hold up.
TDK and his brother have both said they DONT wanna play together. Also his family love it at Carlton
Look at his mum around the place
You are supppppppeeeerrr generous at times Terry.
Mirkov still looks a bit like a fish outta water at times to me
I think given his age he is a long term project for the club as he will be years of development, maybe Austin recognised the talent and wanted to lock him away early.
You'd think Austin would be looking for more depth forward long term or in the midfield, all things considered. Certainly enough down back. But I suppose Pittonet has gone down for long stretches and not really gotten back to full strength after returning two years in a row. Hope a bit too much of Kreuzer isn't rubbing off on him. I don't know. If they picked up O'Keefe just for insurance because they're not confident of keeping TDK, shouldn't they have been looking for someone more game-ready? Maybe it's a case of "best available" and nothing more.
Hey Pom , Tez , lads , by signing Hudson O'keefe, it seems to imply that Oleg Markov, wasn't that get at all cost , he's been twice Delisted, he is prone to injury, INJURY , ,no we don't collect injured players any more , I was of the belief , that O'Keefe was thick set lad, but i read he's work to do in the physicality department, but if Pitto goes down , is O'Keefe a realistic option, seems not , I'm glad we got him , instead of Markov, not keen on Injury prone , like Setterfield, what did getting Will , actually offer the side , besides a spot on the list , luv it boys , GO BLUES RARARA
You’re right, Pommy. Never listen to Cornes. He’s a f’wit.
As a fellow Italian the proper pronunciation is Chin-cotta
Ash Hansen spoke to the crowd before the session and said only 2 players not in the session, philp and williams. They had guys in regan group like boyd, walsh, akuei etc. no Gov was a mystery.
He trained at Essendon all summer but they decided not to pick him up.
Hey , Tez , Pom , Hey , one thing i did think was , his name , reminds of the Frank Zappa, bent on Studebaker Hawk , and Hudson made some mean cars , and one was the Hudson Hornet ,. so he's gotta be Hudson O'keefe, the BLUE HORNET, sounds perfect , Hudson BLUE HORNET O'Keefe , GO BLUES…..RARARA
The more I'm learning about The Blue Hornet , Hudson O'keefe, could Voss have in the back of his head , what Cox looked like doing a Essendon , but I don't know Cox position, he may be injured , but these times you are citing Pom , are making me excited, mmmn as i read he was in talks with Austin a few months ago ??? ,just makes me think this is one multi faceted team i like it , and Class to return ,force their way back into a winning team , and winning with gumption , in style ,GO BLUES RARARA
O’Keeffe is a great get. Looks like he’s got it and this is where you pick these players up. Rucks don’t carry any currency anymore so to get him for free basically you guys have done well.
Hey Tez, Gday Pom , i recon we need to do our bit to encourage our boys to be better , so i want the Carlton Fans to pump up the tires of Hudson O'keefe, Hudson was a car maker in Detroit , they made a classic looking Hudson HORNET , so he's the BLUE HORNET , Hudson "BLUE HORNET" O'Keefe , maybe his Cato (BRUCE LEE in the Green Hornet) is young Motlop , he's sure got the moves GO BLUES RARARA
