Tomorrow night is going to be very interesting.

 

[Snoref]

Big chance we'll rookie him, very raw

Anyone know how crafty he is as ground level?

Very crafty. He’s electric at everything. Super human speed. Can leap a tall building.

We’re just rookie-listing him to try and keep his feet on the ground.

yea i think a rookie spot is guaranteed now, he is very raw, 2 years at Box Hill is likely

[Strapping Young Lad]

So is it ‘welcome’ Changkuoth Jiath now?

I believe so, unless the AFL make us jump through some other hoop.

 

[Agent Smith]

Where's the party, hey Mr C.J.

Nothing goes past you does it.

 

[MrPremiership]

So, he's our Cat B rookie now?

 

[Mitchell54]

So, he's our Cat B rookie now?

He has to fall through the rookie draft first. A club can put in a bid for him in the rookie draft and we can just match that with our next rookie pick in which case he becomes a Cat a rookie

[Hawk Hawkins]

Great news! Welcome CJ.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He speaks really well.

CJ is a fantastic story. From refugee to AFL footballer.

 

[Baz_hawk]

From the interview he seems really grounded and incredibly happy with where he is and I don't blame him.

Really hope he can continue to improve and forge a solid career with the Hawks. Will watch with some added interest as he seems very determined to make it.

Great interview. Looks like he's bubbling with excitement under the surface and is barely containing himself at the prospect of playing AFL footy with the Hawks.

The first academy kid on the books....welcome CJ.

Welcome to the Hawks CJ. He's the player I'm looking forward to watching next year.
