Bytel

[bigred]

Full training.

Wont play this year but look out next year.

Kid can play.

Winning.

[CURLY]

Kid will be a gun. Easily better than Smith that the WB took at 6.

[skeptic]

Got my doubts... heard the umpires really hate him

[Mr Magic]

He's a big unit also.
I was talking to him recently at an Auskick clinic.
He seemed well over 1.8m tall.
Lives with Max King at the King family home. He plyed with/against the King brothers over the years.
Said Max was an absolute gun player, totally different style of player to Ben King

[B.M]

Smith looks to go alright.

Hopefully Bytel can get back from his back? I know rehab is different (especially nowadays and at a full time elite club)
But I did my back at 17yo in the early 90’s and never ever got full mobility back. I missed the best part of 3 seasons trying to get it right, which included two operations. I was injury plagued basically for most of my playing days. I retired at 44yo a couple of years back and can barely bend over these days.

He could be a real bargain if it does come right though

[B.M]

Bytel is around 6’2”

[SaintPav]

Ratts won’t leave it until round 15 next year to play him either if you get my meaning...

[B.M]

Depends how many injuries we have next year?

Jack has not kicked a ball in anger for 18 months now, basically since the u18 champs last year when he did his back.

He will need a block of VFL games to find his feet and play against men as an inside mid (which he is)
If an opportunity opens up at AFL level then he’ll debut. Wouldn’t surprise me if he spent 8-10 weeks in the vfl.

Not necessarily if he does the full pre season then plays well in the practice matches he is every chance to play Round 1.

[oldie60]

Bytel played the whole of his last season with a bad back
He already had it before the u18 carnival.

[HighettMan]

I did my back really badly in a match when I was 23, I had 4 disks removed and I lost an inch in hight but was able to play until 53. What I lost in height I made up for by pushing off harder with the legs when flying at the ball.

[oldie60]

Bytel will be OK. Typical kid just wanted to keep playing when he should have taken time off. Absolute quality kid and he'll come good.

[portosaint]

Big call. Smith looks like he can play too and he hasn't had back surgery. Can be very difficult injury to manage.

I hope you're right though!

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Will be a gun. Watch out. We got a top 10 pick here.

[B.M]

He was not taken in the top 40

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

No s***. Bytel is top 10 quality.
Was a gun underager in TAC.

[B.M]

Time will tell that, but as it stands he was a pick in the 40s and every club passed on him at least twice.

I think he might be a bargain too, but really, we have no idea until he starts playing

We also thought H Goddard was a massive bargain

Who pushed your wheelchair down the race?

[The Barometer]

He was not taken in the top 40

Lots of players not taken in top 40 what is your point?

[saynta]

Bytel is around 6’2”

189cm or 6' 2.4" to be exact. Might have grown a tad during the year too.

[bigred]

Arguably his first year of TAC, he was the best player in the comp. His junior year was outstanding.

There is a highlight reel of him. Can't find it.

Second year he hurt his elbow and then his back. Ruined his year and ruined his draft.

Only special clubs like ours seem to take a punt on the injured players.

This guy could play. Good chance he could be a walk up start at the end of the preseason. The kid is a gun.

Hoping so. Some obvious bad history on our side though with injured players.

[Toy Saint]

Lets hope Bytel comes good and is a superstar for us.

As rule I'm against recruiting injured players, the odds are not good.

Bart Cummings never won 12 Melbourne cups by going to the yearling sales are buying young horses with known leg problems.

[DJ Higgins]

I hate broken players especially young ones as it could be chronic but after pick 40 it's a lotto anyway so worth the risk
