Good get.

Could be anything, looks like he might be a hugh greenwood type that can play anywhere.

Ballsy move trying to make it as a barely 6 foot basketballer, 6 foot is modern day Muggsy Bogues size.

Being that small on a basketball court you’d need to have great agility and spatial awareness.

Competitive beast, I like those kind of words!!

Welcome Matt

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Welcome to the Blues Matt.

 

[No1Suspect]

This is going to be very very interesting.

Gun junior. You dont lose that

 

[jimsta10]

Need more B Ball skills. Welcome!

 

[ESKIE]

Gun Junior...?

Great, welcome

 

[Sheephead]

Great that he has a football background and was obviously rated early on. Should be a good mark and as stated earlier - spatial awareness. I like this selection. Is it Ow as in owe or Ow as owww!

 

[Mr_Plow]

Cannot believe this guy fell to us, had him in my top 10.

Welcome Matt.

Welcome to the mighty blues Matt.

With a bit of patience and luck, we look forward to your first game playing with senior team.

 

[Thrawn]

He'll put the owies on the opposition.

 

[AB_Blue]

Yay we needed another project

Welcome Matt

Nice size for a small forward...

 

[HBF]

Welcome Matt.
Did anyone see him play as a junior?

 

[GoBlues!]

Looks quick, side steps, spatial awareness and a solid unit. Could become BTs favourite player.....wow wee Owies!!

Welcome Matt.

Welcome Matthew

183cm and he tries to make it in the USA as a basketballer?

Clearly his balls are bigger than his brain.

Still, good luck!

Gun junior? Like the kind of gun that would have been drafted high had he stayed with footy?

I love ex basketballers, like Pendles and Greenwood. So hopefully Owies replicates these feats.

Chased by Geelong and Saints too, so always good to win the "preferred club race"

Looks familiar, hope its new and not the old one we used for Matt Dick.

 

[gbatman]

Sounds like a good educated gamble. Good that he has a football background and good attributes. Well worth a shot.

If he was indeed chased by Geelong, he's going to have a successful AFL career.

He's not quick, he's sudden. Could be a shrewd move.
