Really happy with this choice. He was one I rated higher than others. Really tough and clean goal kicker with good speed and first five accelaration. Very little but certainly suited to the modern game forward pressure role. He is fantastically clean and can jump for marks in the air despite his size. Quite L McCarthy ish but not quite as powerful at this stage.

Beautiful kick on both sides of the body

Yeah he is very skilful and a natural goal kicker which I think is a big hole in our list at the moment.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Looking at those highlights looked like he played like Robbie Gray as a Key Target even though he is a small

 

[Max Milburn]

Very sharp! (His haircut, I mean)

One of the videos where he kicked 6.0 his first 3 goals were on his left and I was you beauty
Then watched him have a set shot and kicked on his right, looks a good prospect

Saw that 6 goal game, looks alright.

Not too small, 175cm, probably the smallest size I'd consider for AFL.

Anyone have his stats for the season?

Yeah he has a lot of talent but is tiny and that is why he ends up at the back end of the draft. There may also be some question marks over his endurance but that's only cause i have never really spend much time up the field. I don;t mind it though because I think the obsession with turning everyone into a midfielder has gone over the top. If you are a natural small forward then there isn't really any need to be anything else.

Don't worry, the Hawk will straighten him out.

He has a good amount of mongrel in him but wasn't there so didn't see it. He's a tough little bugger tackling wise

Take out his first 3 games, and in the back end he kicks 30.11 from 14 games. Its not bad, he looks lively and good on both feet. He takes a few contested marks, which is handy for a player of his size. He most likely will doing crumbing and forward pressure at AFL level though.

 

[CatRiot]

Clearly the McCarthy replacement.

 

[ShaunWDT]

Needs to build a tank but has a good skill set, has time on his side drafted late.

Nope. That was L. Donahue.
