The State Combine invitees were asked questions ranging from who rates themselves the most, and who is likely to spend more time off the field getting ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the nine questions put to the pair, three resulted in unanimous choices. <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"103707\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/maison-goodman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maison Goodman<\/a> was picked by both players as the coaches pet, with <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"107577\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/charles-bolmat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charles Bolmat<\/a> nominated as the player most likely to play on from a kick-in, and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"114396\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/isaac-kako\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaac Kako<\/a> as the Cannon who spends the most time reading <em>Rookie Me Central<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trio all featured in multiple answers as well, with Bolmat also Garcia&#8217;s choice as the player to burn him most on-field. Garcia chose Goodman as the one who likes the look of his on-field highlights. Kako was a popular choice for Taha, who said the bottom-ager was both most likely to pick himself as number one in the AFL Draft, as well as spend the most time looking at himself in the mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most telling question was &#8216;who is the player that looks at their stats the most?&#8217; with Taha and Garcia answering each other. Other players to feature in &#8216;Loose Cannons&#8217; included <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"140865\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/noah-scott\/\" target=\"_blank\"
