I know Max (not well) and I’m not surprised he’s being monitored. He’s a smart kid with leadership qualities. The sort you’d want on a team. Was named in the best against Sydney over the weekend.I know Richmond have been keeping a very close eye on Max Roney for a few years. As you mentioned AFL clubs view his ability to transition run as a massive weapon. The knock would be that he’s not a massive accumulator of possessions but maybe they look past that and he gets on a rookie list.
He’s had a good start to the campaign as a key defender and I’d expect him to be considered for Allies duties. Comes from a rowing background and has good endurance running stock in the family.
He’d be another Tasmanian for Richmond, too. Played footy at North Launceston, same as Mansell, Campbell and Nankervis, went through the SPC footy factory which has produced some talents over the years.
