The wing span on the kid is incredible. He just about embrace the whole team.

Yeah I noticed that too. He is 200+cm and his arms still look abnormally long. I would love to know his wing span.

 

[shinboner magic]

Yep he’s hungry

reckon 2 full vfl games then get him in for a taste of senior footy this year

Only game I’d give him is against the crows in the last round - senior backlines of cats, tigers and swans will break him

If we’ve got Pick 1 sewn up, he can have a run.

He’s just as likely to kick 6 and win the game.

I reckon in vs Richmond in 3 weeks

they’re missing Balta and broad
Grimes will go to Larkey

I wouldn't play him at all. Waste of time, and he needs games in the seconds

Agreed. Break glass only in the case we need to cover for Larkey.

 

[Liam Boy]

Wouldn't hurt to give him a little taste of seniors the way they did for Nick Larkey

If he runs out a few games strongly in the two’s, kicks a few goals and is raring to go, then why TF not play him?
If he’s done the work and his body will hold up - he deserves it.

Absolutely. No different to any other player. If he’s fit enough, and his form warrants it, then he plays.

Lid on

He’s just as likely to kick 6 and win the game.

Must wait until the adelaide game for a debut, at this rate he's averaging 8 goals a game and would single handedly destroy our meticulously planned scheme for pick 1.

 

[shinboner magic]

Let’s see what he does in second game - usually have a let down after high of first game

 

[Kanga Glory]

This is like a racehorse wins a maiden race at Casterton by 10 lengths then comes to the city next start and there is huge raps on it and it starts favourite only to disappoint.
Needs to go through the grades , play at least a couple of full games and perform in both before even in the conversation.

No longer a teenager.

Delist.

 

[Ligma]

Too old for our list

 

[King Corey]

No longer a teenager.

Delist.

Trade him for a 2nd rounder and free hit at a 200cm ruck-forward?

You say it as if it’s not the most common sense approach.

 

[shinboner magic]

But still a decade away from being able to be taken by the cats

 

[King Corey]

But still a decade away from being able to be taken by the cats

And GWS or GC after that.

 

[Bugsy Malone]

It's nice to know that we have a 20yo big key forward with this type of potential. North Melbourne may get the spoon this season but looking at the best player's each week and seeing player's such as Simpkin, Ldu, Zurharr and Thomas along with a key forward with Comben's potential on the horizon is exiting.

 

[DuckYeah]

There is zero need to rush this guy in. Keep him on the slow burn. Get him fit and strong so when next year comes around he goes bonkers. We want pick 1. No need messing with a recipe to gain that significant draft hand

 

[KiwiRoo]

Let the poor kid get some confidence in his body and a few games under his belt

zero chance of playing AFL this year
