[justroyal]

Shellshocked or devastated?

Dovastated

 

[RooInNorthLondon]

It probably wasn’t his dream to be at North but he fits us like a glove and he should really come to love The Shinboner archetype. He might be the start of us getting our edge and attitude back.

Didn’t follow the draft this year but stoked about this pick.

Small forward who actually kicks goals this is revolutionary

I expect Lachie "Dove a ton" after he ducks for a few goals. LT was one of my all time favourite players, so I can't wait.

Dova just tells them to jam it and Jye to get out of his forward line

[Clarke is King]

This selection is gonna cost PC and Bull a fortune in fines when Dovaston starts punch ons every week

 

[The5YearPlan]

Thanks for that Dani..

That pumped, from the moment I watched him from the start of the year, he was the one I desperately wanted to come to North. Couldn’t be more excited for this pick.

He has all the tools to be an elite small forward, one of the cleanest ground level players I’ve seen watching juniors and the fact he has a bit of arrogance about him is awesome.

Going to be a barometer for this side for a long long time to come!

 

[Makeshift Park]

Can't wait to see him cut his teeth as a back pocket for the first ten rounds.

Better play him at half back then

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

It’s either he or Konstanty Round 1.

 

[bennymate]

I just hope the shock of playing in front of 20k on a late sunday afternoon won't zap his arrogance, welcome to NMFC.

 

[RHLK]

Small man with big chips on his shoulders & all the fruit - welcome aboard, Dove!

 

[marklovesbeer]

Welcome.

Sort the hair out though mate.

So how do you fit JK, Harvey, Spargo, Banch, Dovaston into the side? Spargo I assume is a lock. Rest of them will be very nervous.

I wouldn't assume Spargo is a lock at all. More a speculative second chance and mature depth. Of those not a single one would be a lock today come round 1 - which probably tells you how desperately we needed to fill this need. Dovaston has every chance of being there though by March.

Ideally gets the call up after a blistering pre season then tells JHF that his team is shit and so is he as we pull away to a comfortable 10 goal lead midway in the 3rd.

Insane to think we’ve been going on at least five years without a genuine small forward…

Looks like he’s from Doveton
