Well, he looks likes a Yarran clone from the AFL draft videos. I guess you can never have too many Yarrans?
Still, hard to believe he wouldn't have been there at 28.

I honestly thought about reporting your post to get you banned for thinking it was cool.
Is he one of our indigenous brothers?
Understandable reaction.
Maybe the club has some kind of deal going on with the local Hair Salon. Drafts lads who will piss away 5% of their salary on $300 dollar hair styles once a fortnight and the Salon pumps it back into the club as a donation.
Interesting... going to ask my wife the CA if this works.
Watched the highlights, quick, kicking looks good, sells candy, didn't see a left foot used.
Does anyone know how much footy he has played?

Just watching his highlights, you can see why we would take Blaine at 19.
*Has excellent vision. He hits teammates with dinky sideways kicks like Steve Johnson and creates things.
*Has a huge turn of speed. He breaks away from packs and splits packs open.
*Has terrific disposal. By hand and foot, he seems to hit targets cleanly and quickly.
*Is the right age. He won't be hanging around in the 2nd for years waiting for a call up. Could well play Rd1.
All in all, it seems like a safe, smart pick. We need outside speed and class, and he has it. The big question mark would obviously be his size, but since when do outside players need to weigh 85 kegs to have an impact?
As long as he can run all day into open space and keep hitting targets, he'll be a walk-up start. There's no one in the team that can do that right now. He'll have no competition.

Is he better than Laverde though?
Watched the highlights. Felt like I had gone back in time 5 years and was re-watching the Kane Lucas reel.

the correct pronunciation is actually Bookhorst...
And he was correct - half the team has gone!
