Watched a few videos of him. I think he will be a player.

This game impressed me. Eye watering stats. But this is an example of what I mean when I say we are too slow and immobile in the middle. He's the opposite of that and everything I want in the middle for us. He comes from a long way like lightning to get to a lose ball, he comes very quickly from a long way to lay tackles, avoids players, sidesteps and bursts away to give himself time to assess targets. He's doing things at stoppage in this video that none of our mids, maybe Walsh, are able to do.

I like him forward, he has craft, he chases and tackles really well and has the strength and aggression to deal with them when he catches them and he multidimensional, he crumbs, marks and tackles. Then on the ball I see him line up well in zones and intercept, he's great around the stoppages. He uses his closing speed and agility to run down and opposition and lay tackles, he hits the man really hard.

I look at him and I think we have someone who could add a heap to the onball group in terms of something we lack. But he also adds a lot to the forward line and something we lack.

I reckon he plays games next year and we won't be disappointed. He's pretty hard at it, hopefully doesn't get hurt.

I like how we are recruiting since Wright has arrived.

I have no idea why we were so obsessed with adding another small forward at the exclusion of all else. Having said that... what a pick. Speed, determination, tackling, good mark for his size and such a great kick. Everything but height.

Could easily see him playing round one.

Because we just got rid of a heap of small forwards, and people on here constantly complain about how our smalls aren’t good enough?

Yep i saw him in training photos.

Needs to get his body into shape for sure. So he can run at the level required at AFL level.
