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.

When's the last Charlie we had? (not counting Comben)

Charlie Gaudion coached us in 1956 & 1957 - played for us in the 30’s.

 

[kaboom kid]

He’s ahead of Powell for mine
Seems more afl ready

Powell the new JMac then?

 

[Snake_Baker]

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.

How could we forget?

The "Ioniser" was a fan favourite back in the day for his trademark "wedgie" tackle first used on Carlton's Perry McPerrymason in 1933.

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.

Did a couple of really nice things in match practice today.

Seeing footage of Charlie at training there is promising signs.
Looks like a leader - always giving guys pats on the back.
Has really bought in - can’t wait to se if he can actually football

Delist all 3 for drinking COOR's.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Young should be penalized 3 matches for wearing that T shirt.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

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.

 

[ferball]

He' the next JY.

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!
