Athletic 189cm runner.

Liked the look of him at the combine and I was elated to hear we were after him, hopefully this kid will go alright.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Welcome to Geelong, I wish you all success.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Now this is our best recruit for the year. Great Get!!

 

[thegerman]

Great get.

 

[Turbocat]

Id like some vision of him playing... but perhaps i should say he will probably never play a game (like I did for Blitz) and then he will be a future B&F winner.

Expect a Carji and a handful of enduring recalcitrant sceptics in about five years.

Excited about this, apparently beat out North Melbourne and Melbourne for his services. #inWellswetrust

So does this one have speed or endurance?

 

[Partridge]

So does this one have speed or endurance?

I thought they were interchangeable.

 

[hbk_aus]

I believe he is already highly-rated internally...

 

[bigblackboz]

Welcome Mark! We wish you all the best!

 

[CharacterFirst]

All reports are he is a beauty.

Excellent pick up.

 

[catempire]

I thought they were interchangeable.

No no. It's physically impossible for a human to have both.

 

[Hoffy95]

A potential young talent. Nice to have one.

 

[The Unforgiven]

Great stuff. I love what the Irish players bring to the game. Hopefully we'll have another Irishman in Zach Tuohy to take him under his wings soon.

 

[WaxiesDargle]

We have a good track record with Category B Rookie Marks

Says something of the reflection of our list if he chose us over NM and Demons.

Sure, its a Cat b Rookie, but still we impressed a blank canvas with little to no expectations of AFL levels.

He said he liked the Geelong area he felt more at home in Geelong.
Which will make his move a bit easier.
