I have seen him play a few times for Sandringham and he's done well to be rookied listed by Melbourne.

His form for Sandringham was excellent in the first half of the year, but it's been a bit up and down since the split round.

What do all of your Melbourne supporters think of him and does he the potential to be a good AFL player?

Hes a good size and a decent mark. I believe he kicked a few in a pre-season practice match so the talent is definetely there.

Just out of interest, do you think Melbourne will keep him next year or delist him?

Clubs can be very tough on rookies, just ask Brendan van Schaik.

Apologies if he's a mate or whatever, but he was the worst ruckman I have ever seen us draft... ever.

It was like watching a bean pole with no coordination trying to play a complex game requiring both feet and hands. Disasterous.

Again, I'm sure he's a lovely guy but I got no idea what the recruiters saw in him. Just compare him to how Neaves is going this year, and you can see why he didn't make the cut.

Warnock will be officially promoted to the senior list at the end of the year, while Neave and Huges will more than likely be given another year. Hugesy has the potential to be the next Robbo.

Nah, van Schaik isn't a mate or anything lke that just though he treated harshly by Melbourne.

Ruckmen take a while a while to develop, some more than others and I think he fitted the mould of someone who aas going to take a while.

Neaves has been pretty good this year, how does everyonwe rate his AFL prospects for the future?
