Our later picks in the draft are the players I'm really most excited about. I think they will all bring some real excitement to the games they play. This kid reminds me of Jy the way he moves at times.
 

Heaps of fun

I'm struggling to think of him as a North player because he's not the type we'd usually pick. I reckon if he was still on the board he would have been the Tigers' first pick.

There's a touch of Matty Larkin in the way he shifts direction in traffic.

Powell the new JMac then?

Yep, he'll get delisted at 37 years of age and then tZ will declare to the world that he was right all along.

Seems to have a pretty elite change of direction & quick hands in the footage I've seen. Will fit right in with what Russell is trying to do around quick handballs.

He's a dyed in the wool inside mid............eventually.
 
Never makes the same mistake in training more than once. Makes a mistake...listen...learns...then applies whatever he has been told.

Intelligent and incredibly coachable.

Carries himself with a bit of confidence too. Not a strut and any mug lair up himself bullshit, but a kind of yep, I know I belong on this training ground with these blokes, I'm good enough and I do the work.

"Buy in" I suppose they'd call it.

I think - and hope - this turns out to be a good comparison Snake.

I was a touch surprised that Charlie wasn't 6 feet tall, but neither was Matty.

Hell, even their hairstyles aren't too dissimilar!
