Sucks for Smith, but certainly helps our team balance up forward.

Boy has grown some.

 

[Dalions]

Boy has grown some.

4cm since being drafted

 

[a mayes ing]

Boy has grown some.

Is he more likely to develop into a defender or a forward do you think? Perhaps ruck if he continues growing.

 

[Section 5]

Boy has grown some.

Footywire have him at 196cm & 89kg
Lions site also 196cm
Need him to stand beside Payne 197cm & Jo 201cm and see if 200 cm is close to correct.

 

[briztoon]

Is he more likely to develop into a defender or a forward do you think? Perhaps ruck if he continues growing.

All the talk during his draft year was that he should be trained up as a defender. His best games were as an undersized ruck.

Not so much undersized as a ruck now, particularly if he’s quite athletic.

 

[scoman]

Could be quite the team of names in a couple years. Doedee, Shadeau Brain, Breville, ZZ Top..... Might have to see where Irving Mosquito ended up and draft Guess Who from the academy.

Keeping a close eye on Brain, Tunstill, Morris, Ryan, Torrent and Zakostelsky in his first game.

Umpire red hot on the holding the ball calls early(Both ways).

 

[M Malice]

Good strong mark and goal from Logan Morris.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Impressive start against a strong team

That's Logan goat Morris to you.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Lowering their eyes going forward even.

 

[lionshine]

Ben Thomas is a likely type isn’t he?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Sharp showing why he should have been picked in the AFL game today. Lovely kick inside 50 to Thomas.
