Frost on Package?

Yeah he has the speed and strength to go with him, Hartigan should take 2MP, DGB on Stewart I like as well.

Happy with that.
Greaves on Tippa a good match up too for mine.

Jeez he's such a great character- the fact that he's drawing comparisons between us and his home/jnr club is a fantastic sign. Real keen to see how shags comes on in his first season!

 

[dermott]

Apart from his obvious talent he sounds as if he will contribute positively to the culture of the club.

 

[daniel23]

What a legend, almost my favourite player without even completing a pre season. We need a few characters in the team .

 

[Mojo]

Are we just suppose to believe this kid is 18?

"Timmy thinks I'm half decent on the guitar but I reckon his hearing things"

 

[Judd2Sewell]

He comes across as such a likeable character. I'm willing to bet that he'll become a much loved figure in the dressing room.

Future captain

I couldn't split he & Phillips as the best & safest picks in the top of the draft. A steal at pick 4(5), and I tipped the Hawks grabbing him if he slipped that far. You grabbed a better version of Sicily.

One quality big KPD to compliment him, and your defence is set for a decade.

Big call to say a better version of Sicily! I'm stoked we've got him- have you seen much of his growth over the last couple years, if so, how would you rate his coachability?

Just wait & see.

My view is Clarkson picks what he wants and then strengthens those traits in a team setting, so I don't see it as an issue.

Agree wholeheartedly. I thought Phillips would last to our pick and DGB go earlier.
I would have been happy with either.

Better than Sicily is definitely a big call considering the only thing standing in the way of him and multiple AAs has been late season injuries.

I haven't designed my post as any swipe against Sicily, it's just that I think DGB is that good.

He is a freakish aerialist that is doing things now that Howe & McGovern weren't close to doing at the same age.

Maybe Clarkson will try to utilise eventually him as a forward?

Hoping he plays r1 as the immediate Stratton replacement (and Sic with the injury)

We've also got Scrim and Day who are young and can intercept.

Need to get some forwards now.

Your midfield is building nicely now. Powell a nice pick up. LDU looks the goods for mine. Simpkin a gun.

I do think, he has the talent to be.

 

[Dewnior]

You grabbed a better taller version of Sicily.

fify

Jury is out on whether he will be better

 

[MrPremiership]

Hopefully he won't get home sickness.

Comes across a bit like Whitecross with his attitude

Don't know that he's got Sicily's boot but he's certainly got some tools to work with

 

[kazzooka]

Love thay he's worked at maccas and bunnings and still has time to keep up with learning guitar, school work and footy at elite jnr and wafl level.

Work ethic will not be a problem with him, i don't think we'll see much or any of him next year....at Box Hill. Will no doubt be given the opportunity in preseason games to put his case forward and i think he will make it an easy decision for rnd 1 selectors.

Out of curiosity, what is the WAFL level for learning guitar?

 

[bris tarangau]

Probably at same level as Clarko.

 

[Big Hotdog]

Probably at same level as Clarko.

I can smell a collaboration......
