I think he can, but like david Rodan, he stuffs up he wont get another chance IMO. Highly skilled though

Size and lack of penetration with his kicking will hurt him. Deserves a rookie list spot at least IMO.

Re: Fort Caruso

Would be happy if North took him with one of our late picks. Over the years we've had a pretty good record with midgets: Rock, Bell & Harvey.

his kicking isnt that bad, his 3rd goal in the tac grand final was from around 45 out, cleared the line easily and actually cleared the fence, but that was his opposite foot (hes a right footer)...i actually know a fair bit about him as hes my cousin, hes very fit and works extremely hard..he got 14.9 on hes beep test at the start of the year but had only been training for a month as he had 2 take fluid out of hes knee (played the last 5 games plus finals with fluid in hes knee last year), so you would expect a improvement on that as he gets fitter through the year and also match fit, got a 2.91 on hes 20 m sprint which is quick but not explosive (from memory deledio got 2.89 at draft camp, and afl average is around 3.25)...but not going to draft camp or state screening will make it hard for him 2 show hes fitness and athletic capacity, also has a fair leap on him, which heaps him abit on hes size...well im about to give him a call lol see how he pulled up...

If fort doesn't get pick up he'll go to the VFL dominate and then get pick up. Look at sammy mitchell he took that path Fort will get there one way or the other. Carlton's got nothing to lose by picking him up we can't get any worse!!

definately should get picked up, very highly skilled, wins alot of the ball and goes in to get it. Why is height important for an in and under player anyway? he has a football brain and knows where the ball is going to be.

What about Ricky Delphine from gippsland i think it is. He regularly wins 30 disposals a game (i have never seen him play) is he a chance?
