you're not kiddin', those were some very promising highlights - has an innate ability to step past tacklers it seems, shows a lot of toe for a bigger lad too.

His Gaelic highlight reel also showed fantastic aerial ability as shown in the VFL game.
Was sought after by a number of Clubs - glad we snagged him

 

[Warhorse]

Showing fantastic progress. Always seems like he has a lot if time and is deceptively agile.

Obviously a quick learner with the way he gets his arms free when tackled

Those highlights from last weekend are damn good for a first year player... He might be decent next year, but except breakout by third.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

How'd he go this weekend?

How'd he go this weekend?

struggled as the conditions were horrendous both underfoot and in the air - (3 goal breeze on way) so it really relied on ball reading in flight and knowing how to play the wind. Not his best weather - but good experience.

Yeah that is very not good. Some never get the strength back too I hear. Kid is such a beast to begin with he'd still probably be a level above

Best of luck to him .
