I have heard a bit about this kid and was wondering if anyone who has seen him play could comment on the likelihood of him getting drafted. I've heard he's playing SANFL reserves with Glenelg, he's bottom age so he can't be rookied, is good mates with Gibbs, is very short, but is very classy. He didn't make the S.A u/18 squad did he? Was he injured or just not selected? If anyone can tell me a bit about him, that would be appreciated, cheers.

He has been injured a bit this year and it has certainly restricted him. I must confess I absolutely love this kid, when I first saw him at 15 he instantly reminded me of Crawford, just way he moves. Moves with such ease and oozes class but his progress has slowed this year, mostly due to injury. been playing Glenelg ressies doin ok but not dominating. Still very young and may not go at all this year (just eligible) could well make a big effort and stand out among the SA kids for next year. Around 179cm I think so not that big but if he grows a bit to say 182-183 his profile will rise a fair bit because he is all class.

thanx for that, have heard similar things about him before, in fact he reminded someone else I know of Crawford. Do you think he is a chance to get drafted late this year, as he is very bottom age like you said. Also what sort of injury did he have? Is it a serious one, and is that what prevented him from playing in the carnival?
