Welcome Ed. Tall, quick mid is a nice addition. Hope he and Carmichael can grow into those roles together.

Seems like next best at that pick. Can’t be unhappy with a slider who was touted as a top 12 pick.

Looks like Koutoufides in the way he moves.

Glad that we’ve picked for ceiling. Now I can enjoy the rest of the draft.

Like his name. Like his height. Liked his Dad. Another pick to help future-proof our midfield.

PMBangers I note you didn't have him in your top 40 (correct me if I'm wrong). What's the knock on him in your opinion?

To use a term that Pies fans love, to me he's all duck and no dinner at the moment.

I think he has an incredibly high ceiling given the athleticism, but to me, when you possess such athleticism but don't show it on field it usually points to a lack of Footy IQ, which I believe is hard to learn when you've been playing for so long.

Decision Making and Contested game are other areas of improvement imo, but truly I think a club in the position the Pies are in can afford to take on such a risk, and also truly I think he's got the capacity for remarkable development.
 
Had never heard of him but all I heard was 194cm, big frame, finds the ball and fast and instantly thought Cripps.

But at that height, pace and frame he sounds like a potential true utility?

Probably a coincidental post by pablo disco bar but your description just makes me think of Noah Balta straight away.

Collingwood Could have a very Tall Midfield with Allan and McInnis

Hine Loves taking a Player who has a High Celing and are Younger
 
In highlights doesnt look like he uses pace either that means its deceptive or a tool he can use even more. I think we need a tall wingman to develop and he seems a blank canvas to work with. Lots of upside so really up to him and development team to make him a player. I think we need to patient with him.

Just quietly, the last kid we took who barely missed FS qualification for an interstate club was an All Australian this year…
