Finbar is playing for The Carlton Football Club for a reason . He can tackle and read the game.

shutup, finbar!
I was discussing Finbar's drafting with another Carlton supporter who jokingly compared him to a companion pony for Ben. God I hope he ends up surprising everyone (in a good way, not in a Bootsma way).

Finbar has good second efforts . He has good awareness and displays the attributes . I’m keen on him . That’s why Sos picked him .

After seeing this kid, next to Ben in a recent interview, there is no way he is 188 cm. I say he is closer to 193 cm
Think we just added another KPF

Yep, looked taller than Jack.

He said he grew 10cm in the last year
Certainly a project player. Good luck Finbar. Keep developing in next three years and whatever it was they saw in you, back yourselves to get even better at it.
Sos picked him cos you’re keen on him ?
We just don't know the starting point

Agresta referred to both he and Ben as talls in the wrap-up video.
Hopefully we've done a better job in picking this one than say Trent Sporn.
SOS loves his US sports doesn't he?
Reminds me of when smaller basketball players play point guard their whole life before growth spurts take them to the size of a Power forward and all of a sudden you have this elite big man with the skills of a guard just dominating (think Anthony Davis).
Maybe SOS and co see something similar in Finbar.
He has played his whole junior career as a small forward and working on the skills and craft of a small before a growth spurt takes him to key position/3rd tall size (looks bigger than 188/90 standing next to BSOS).
The big difference is Finbar hasn't yet had the opportunity to play in his new frame/position due to injuries, i'm thinking SOS saw an opportunity to take a stab at a project player but in a calculated fashion. This isn't some super raw athlete with limited skill or knowledge of the game who are your typical project player, this is a kid who has the skills of a small forward who could now be potentially moulded into a KPP or 3rd tall type.

Interesting that in the interview, Finbar stated something along the lines, that his muscles didn't develop, when he got taller(all kids have this issue) and broke some bones because of it.
I would suggest he is still growing so we won't see much continuity until that stops

The red hair and surname gives me flashbacks to Jimmy Stynes’ old sidekick at Melbourne, big Steve “Strawbs” O’Dwyer. Surely Strwabs has to be in contention as a nickname?
