Just looks like a footballer. Can't say that about many picks we've taken in SSP or MSD.

Go well Tommy!

I have a good feeling about this kid - is a footballer.

Mate I go down and watch the local lads from time to time. Some of them wouldn’t look out of place in the afl.
There is so much untapped talent out there it’s ridiculous

Can we keep tapping? Blamires and Trembath look very promising.
