Very excited about this bloke. Looks a mongrel

Has absolute prick vibes, which is nice for a defender. Looks ready made.

 

[Toump Ass]

Said before I wanted someone who looks like they can handle their piss, definitely get that vibe from this dude.
Looks like a massive prick to be honest. Very happy!

Maynard vibes

Hope he doesn’t plan on doing any flying shoulder drops onto any Melbourne players heads

 

[mrmonkey]

Something had to give, was surprised he was the one that squeeze through. Just shows how much of a log jam those middle picks were. Could have easily gone to Richmond so I see it as a bit of a steal.

Tatts, hard arse, said no to private schooling. I like

A bit undersized for a true KPP so hopefully he can handle a bit of small defending and intercept role.

Does seem like he’s got some serious campaigner about him. To the point where I hope he can handle himself in an AFL environment as the years come.

1cm different to May to be fair, and similar to May, can lock down on both smalls and talls. He's also 18, every chance he still grows some more.

Thank you Richmond.

Best outcome possible, needed some star power down back coming through.

 

[markm106]

Great pick up. Didn’t think we’d get him. He was the one I wanted and thought he’d go to tigers or Essendon.
Got to move his intercepting and run and carry. Great size too.

 

[Demon Attack]

Looks like a campaigner and a lad which I love.

 

[stEdy]

In the draft coverage he said he was BOG on field for the u18 granny and off field at the after party too.

I like him

This is one of his strengths. He'd got the speed and agility to match up on smalls to go with strong intercept marking. I can see him filling McVee's old role initially with the potential to play as a taller defender as he fills out.

We're in the era of the medium forward as well, so might be a bloke who matches up on those types.

Okay I'm convinced.

Steal of the draft. The kid has mongrel and swagger. He and Disco will be one hell of a duo.
