He's not as well built as that photo makes him out to be, but I hope we rookie him too. Seen him a couple of times and although he's raw, he's got a huge scope for improvement with some already good traits. At 193cms he could be groomed as a third KP tall or perhaps a running CHB with his attributes.

Plenty to work with, but I guess it all comes down to who's available at our first pick.
 
On the money for mine. Footscray is now the home for the vast majority of most African immigrants in Melbourne and to have an African born player on our team, may help to connect with demographic and hopefully in turn equate to new members in the future.:thumbsu:

There are more Sudanese in the North Melbourne area(Flemington and North Melbourne). We are the home of Ethiopian immigrants. It is probably more of a marketing plus for North Melbourne, but we are the next on that list to be sure.

He's only what, a finger shorter than Ryder? And also has long arms and an amazing vert. I'd say he has a higher vertical reach than most.
 
Given that the Kangaroos have only 2 picks my guess is that they will target a less risky pick with their first. This may let him slip to us. I believe the consensus is that Daw is very much a project player, but having said that we obviously are entertaing adding at least one project player to our list as otherwise we would not have had that 6' 9'' basketballer from Maryborough training with us (sorry forgotten his name). Daw obviously has a long way to go but his vertical leap, amazing speed and agility are an upside and I also think that the potential marketing impact should not be underrated.

Yep, you're onto something here.

Let's replace a seasoned ruckman (yes, not the best in the league) with an inexperienced young rookie unfamiliar with game.

Brillant thinking. Hope the Carlton coach and staff apply your thinking to the Blues next season.

But maybe they have no choice? Years of tanking and the loss of Fevola may make playing risky untried inexperienced players de rigueur for your lot next season.

Good luck!
 
Didn't we draft an athelitic type with a rugby background and limited afl a few years ago at number 6?

If you can do that you give this kid a go. From the footage he is only learning yet he was fast and burst away from players easy. A tall dashing defender maybe?

Marketing of course. We need as many supporters as possbible. 3rd two years in a row and only 28 thousand odd supporter. Not enough. He would appeal to the African community.

Its a big yes from me for a rookie spot.

Just on our membership base, on SEN today I think it was mentioned that we are 5000 members up on this time last year, so things are looking pretty good. I can't confirm this as fact but that's what was stated on SEN, attributed to big bad barry as well as coming so close to a gf 2 years in a row.

All social members need to re-sign before the 31st of Dec. Otherwise lose there renewal option. The membership gest put back in the pool. I expect as all social memberships were used last year that once again all members would renew again with our current window still open. This may inflate the numbers a little before Christmas. That and the fact that we have a dam good team.
