Watched the draft on delay late last night and had the common visceral reaction based on the negative prognosis of this kid's prospects from roos_fanatic08 et al yesterday.
Watching his highlights and reading the articles he seems like he has a bit to offer.
It's interesting that because we have 2 tall youngish-young senior performed key forwards it felt there wasn't a need for more. But the sheds are empty when you actually look at the list.
Add to that the fact these types of players typically take 2-3 years just to be in a position to debut and we might've fixed up a structural depth hole before it appeared.
Bit of an over reaction on my behalf mate, but more so because I wanted other players around our pick. I’m of the opinion that he would’ve been available later than what we took him.
I also have concerns as to what his actual position will be. He is undersized for a ruck and hasnt been overly dominant as a permanent forward.
There is however, no doubt that he has some elite raw athletic potential. He also does fill a need on the list (tall forward) but I would’ve thought a developing ruck (genuine size) later in the draft would’ve been more of a priority.

Welcome big fella!
Anyone know where can I find his stats?

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "A contested marking forward and ruck, with a nice vertical leap who backs up his good work at ground level."afl.draftcentral.com.au
Cheers. Of course draft central would have it. Man I’m so out of touch at the moment
That onefour has got into your brain
I read about them and loved that never give up attitude, same with Perez. These kids that have long term injuries which they have to work hard to get back from, show an inner strength of character that comes in handy at crunch time. Wish them all the best. Another Roo boy with that never beaten attitude, we are racking them up.Respect, what a horrible run of injuries.. seems really brave to stay so committed after all that , a real shinboner type quality

I reckon we need a 'game day thread' for draft nights; somewhere where all the blood boiling happens.Bit of an over reaction on my behalf mate, but more so because I wanted other players around our pick. I’m of the opinion that he would’ve been available later than what we took him.
