Cats website has him listed at 191cm and 86 kgs , which is a great size to go with his inside game with excellent hands. I'd like to see him put on another 10kgs of solid muscle over the next 2-3 years and turn into our version of Josh Kennedy (Swans) ...

The guy needs to build a tank. Size not his issue.

He got 15 touches, but I didn't see contested stats when I looked it up. He did score 6 tackles, so there's that.

If anyones curious it was the 2014 game v Melbourne.

Considering he apparently has a poor tank, I was super super impressed with how he just kept on going.
One of those that seems a footballer, will be a monster in a couple of years as well.

And even though he gave away the free for taking out the legs, I absolutely loved the manic attack on the ball when he flew in for that ground ball.

Looks clean by hand, probably more a Clayton Oliver type that will get in and get dirty then release the outside runners by hand

Yep, Clayton Oliver type is probably the best player comparison. Every team needs one.
 
I already like my bet on the VFL Flag - imagine him in the midfield in the VFL with Kiel, Gore, Tsitas, and which ever mids on the senior list that do time in the VFL? Eg. Rotations of Parsons, Parfitt, Fogarty, GHS, etc.

Is the market up for that now?

Edit: just looked...very juicy odds will put some money on that soon

Tank seemed ok for a first upper!
What's the fuss.
Play him again at Colac.

He did do well yes.

The talk at draft time was about his engine and needing to build it. I think he Chook had said at one point it was his #1 thing to improve.

He also had the tonsil issues that may have kept him down a bit on being able to fully unload fitness wise - and if that had plagued him all the way thru - it may have even kept his draft stock down too.

Bottom line, the proof is in the pudding. I dont see him in the AFL Rd1 - and he many not make JLT 2 depending on how and who is playing in front of him.
I however imagine that as the post Tonsil issue time increases, so will the drums to get him into the senior side. If it takes a year, then so be it... we dont have to play kids just for the sake of it. If they are ready, sure.

Forgot about his tonsil problems.
Wow! When you think about that,.. boy that kid can play!
He's obviously gifted when it comes to reading play being where it is.
All on 68% game time. Wow!
Yeah happy to see him rack up 30's in the twos for a while.
They can't run them all next week but gee hasn't done anything wrong.

Very happy for him to play again. He’s far more ready made than I expected.

I couldn't believe he was passed over early in the draft till Wells said "hey hang on a minute,
Constable still on the table."
You don't get to dominate Australian Carnivals
unless you're cherry ripe fit and brilliant.
I just didn't pay attention to the knockers wanted him with our 1st pick.
It worked in our favour with a P37 (amazing ) like a free first round pick.
Just hope he has an injury free year.

If i recall the draft correctly, and I may not, but Wells put in the Chook pick pretty quickly. Dont think there was much hesitation
