Haven't seen him play yet. Hope he will live up to the rep you gave him though.

Heard some good things about this kid. Looking forward to seeing him in action. Hopefully he lives up to expectations. From what I have heard needs to work on fitness a bit and the crows will be able to help him in this area. Havent got a real good reflection on his overall skills base. You might be able to elaborate a little. Whats his kicking etc like?

Absolutely diabolical kicking action. Probably the worst I have laid eyes on. Very slow hand to foot. Hands are pretty good in the air, poor below his knees (understandable, he is massive).
He is all heart. Genuinely fierce competitor. Loves a scrap, works hard.
From memory, he is an awkward height. He could only play AFL ruck at a pinch, but is tall enough to be a liability up forward if he is not marking the footy.

Worse than Matthew Primus? Anthony Ingerson? He can't be that bad, surely???

Maybe he kicks like Chad Rintoul.
The nature of rookies is that they have much to learn.
The boy is a good size so no problems there. From what I read, he needs to work on his agility, aerobic fitness and general skill work such as kicking and ball handling below the knees. 2 years of effort could see him become a prime KPP, a wasted effort or something in between (hopefully the former).

Surprising comment about his kicking really.
Perhaps he's worked on it, but I saw him doing some shots for goal and he was kicking pretty well.
The rookie that we delisted this year in Andrews was close to the worst kick I've ever seen - absolutely ugly to watch!!
Bonaddio marks well too, but he's not very agile and not very fast. He won't be a ruckman, but he's around 6'4" in the old language and a big lump of a guy. He'll either be a key forward or nothing.

Was he ever. That dude was dreadful with his kicking action. If you are a Tigers fan it was almost a case of wishing that Rowan wouldn't get a kick to spare us all the pain and suffering of watching him kick itmacca23 said:

Just watching him during last seasons pre season was enough to convince me he was the worst kick I've seen.
But back to this Adrian kiddie, although I havent seen him the Weed will sort him out. Just look fierce and run through that brick wall in front of you and they will fold.
