I was sad to see Dylan go last year, he was never the most skilled player on our list but his work ethic and commitment was second to none, its a shame we just didnt have a place for him.
How's he looking Blues fans? (its hard enough for me to catch Lions games over here, let alone opposition games, so I havent seen anything really).

I like him.

He has been serviceable in his role as back up Ruckman the first three weeks. Has also managed to sneak forward and kick a goal in each of the three games so far as well.
He has a decent enough leap at centre bouces, though he needs to judge his jump a little better on occaisions. He can be over-powered at boundry throw ins, but holds his own most of the time.
All in all, I'd say he's performed to expectations so far. You wouldn't really want him to be your number one Ruckman, but he is ideally suited as a back up.
imo he has been in better from than french in the last two weeks. looks like an exceptional team man which is exactly what we needed.

Does what we need him to do. Give French a breather in the ruck, and it also doesn' hurt that he can drift forward and kick goals. 3 goals in 3 games is quite good for a ruckman.

Jury is out.
For a man of his size, he doesn't do enough around the ground for mine.

Having said that, his spot on the list is safe for at least the next 5 years. His commitment and steady improvement will keep him around.

Probably right, but French got injured against Freo and looked a bit sore and stiff against the Swans to me.
