Yep and a half a dozen or so VFL games.
A recurring Achilles injury requiring surgery and a couple of soft tissue injuries keeping him out.
It’s a similar tale to Prestia.
My original point stands.
Meh a pick 21 rookie draft kid that lacks pace and kicking is average. Still he is a massive upgrade on mangina Sonsie
Didn't seem to lack pace in his highlights.

Write ups mention he could work on his defensive game, anyone know if that means he is ineffective without ball or doesn't attempt much defensive play? How is he in a contest? Does he pull out often?
It's so he can start pre-season with us immediately. Un-listed players need permission from the AFL to train with clubs and then there's the chance that another club could offer him more money and take him as a delisted FA. Also, as a delisted FA, he will always be one when he comes out of contract. Not anymore.
cats fan video said his tackles are more like tickles, too easily broken. but then you see him absolutely crush blokes in tackles in his highlights including FOS so maybe its just a technique thing.

Cheers mate. I don't pay much attention to contracts and free agency so excuse my ignorance but what does "Also, as a delisted FA, he will always be one when he comes out of contract. Not anymore." mean? He won't be a restricted free agent when his contract expires, he'll be a delisted FA even of we haven't delisted him? What is the benefit of a DFA as opposed to a RFA or the other free agent type? I've forgotten the name.

Yeah nice I was wondering that after watching the highlights though I suppose they are highlights. Should improve on that aspect with some maturity and weight hopefully

The next Shaun grigg
the cats bloke said he covers the wings like a freak but early days was more attacking leaning. found a good balance of offensive and defensive efforts in the latter half of the year. he sounds like a genuine kmac replacement.

"lacks pace" just shows you literally dont even bother to watch highlights lmao
were you following him since he was 3 though?

Sounds like a solid player to fill a need. Low risk and one year in the cats system. Presumably the club reckons he can be a KMac replacement pretty much for free. If he ends up having the career of KMac then we've won hugely.

If a player becomes a DFA at any stage in their career, they remain a free agent every time they come out of contract and the 6 year RFA and 8 year UFA rules do not apply to them ... by trading for Pat he does not become a free agent for a minimum of 5 years

Anxiously waiting for the club to put up a video interviewing him
Nank is a ruckman - not a mid. Hopper has been injury prone and so has Prestia and so you can’t rely on either being there 22 games each year.

Just watched his 2024 draft highlights.
Didn't see any issues with either his pace or his kicking !!!

When people say he is slow, is that 20m sprints?
Running 6:07 in a 2km time trial seems pretty quick to me.
Was beginning to worry AFL wasn't going to be played over 4 quarters and 120 mins anymore.

Blair said they would have taken him in the rookie draft last year (would have been pick 1) if we had have had a list spot available.
Shows the lack of depth in this draft that a rookie pick from last year is rated higher.

Hopefully he has some pre-existing injuries he wants us to sort out for him
