[partycorolla]

Knightmare had him at 40.

Ah well, we've at least drafted someone who we can develop in an area we desperately need depth in.

I'd assume we'll target a quality tall forward next year either by draft or trade...

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

gws board say he is a Shutdown defender. Not the best kick or most creative with rebound but a good stopper

TAC Grand Final for anybody who wants to watch. He has a good run of play in the first 30 seconds of the game.

 

[Groupie_]

Play him ahead of Arseberry

 

[Sir_Loin]

Knightmare had him at 40.

I had him at "never heard of him"

 

[spinynorman]

Never heard of him.

I mean, he's pick 72 and I probably couldn't name 20 of this year's prospects, but I'm still gonna say that to hang shit on him because I want everyone to know how cynical I am.

 

[Bazzar]

Play him ahead of Arseberry

Who's Arseberry
