Apparently boekhurst played well in the intra club

He is listed on here as 184cm and 69 kg's unless he has been into the weightgain 5000 can't see him having the body to be considered to be ready to play AFL

Pretty sure that is incorrect.  He is mature aged recruit and has played 19 of his 44 WAFL games in the seniors.

The Carlton site has him listed @ 75kg

Still bloody light. Somone his height in afl system for few years would be normally around 84-86kg.

JBs-Hawks

He's  an outside running winger, doesnt need to be huge just needs to utilise his pace

Exactly, and pace he has. Plus a mean sidestep

They are only useful for late outs, and quarter by quarter scores.
And they were even sketchy with that at times last year.

Kade Simpson weighs 75 kg and he's one of the toughest and most durable players in the game.

Come Smith looking like getting a gig down forward for the blues to another older pickup, look at locking him in at m11

Bit shorter than 184 isnt he? Hardly say kade Simpson is one of the toughest in the game as well... Wouldn't put him in top 100 that's for sure..

Wow, are you serious? Assuming you don't watch Carlton play? Everyone knows how tough Simmo is.

I think we are getting slightly off track....

Boekhorst has played in the WAFL for the past 4 seasons with last season in the seniors.

One would think he can handle himself and he will no doubt improve with a little AFL conditioning.
