He can slot straight in imo

 

[bresker]

Are we selecting anyone else or is that it?

Didn't we get Hamling from Geelong after he played 0 games for them?

Dont expect another hamling

 

[ScragCity]

Can't believe he slid to us. This guy will be a superstar. Watch this space.

Anyone seen this kid live? What’s his chances of realistically playing AFL this year?

He can play. no idea how he will go at AFL level though. But you can judge for yourself with these. Throw the feet up and Grab a beer and nuts.

He has played more games in defense has he not... highlights are a little skewed toward the forward work me thinks

All I got from those highlights was that he is tall and plays footy.

Im sold

Welcome! Interesting to see where we use him now he’s on the list.

Yep, having never seen him play and without knowing much about him, the fact he has followed a similar path to Hamling leads me to believe he is going to be a great get!

Slap in the face to Schache.

Might be the one he needs to decide he has to have a crack, doubt it but one can only hope

Seems like we're more likely to play Gardner in defence if anything. But hopefully this is a kick up the arse that Schache needs. Dude has some serious talent, and wastes it all by looking disinterested and scared all the time. Would make such an incredible difference to our side just adding even 1 more competent tall

 

[mattwa]

Looks like hes in this week

How are these better than Schaches stats? Can this bloke play or does he have potential?

 

[Dogsman16]

Will be playing on Kennedy or McGovern.

Good luck son.

 

[Doggy]

Probably as a swingman

 

[Anja_Nees]

Straight in, yikes!

Slap in the face to Schache.

Not really. Its actually a refection on the football department as a whole and their willingness to go into the season with one known quality tall in Naughton, a 36 year old cornerstone in Morris, a jack of all trades master of none in Trengove, a single limited but known quantity back up tall in Fletcher Roberts, two developing talls in Schache and Young both of whom's futures are uncertain and their rolling the dice on the return of Tom Boyd to the side. Hindsight being what it is, it would seem that strategy has proven to be somewhat flawed.

Due to their long history and inability to recruit, draft, retain or develop quality talls, with Gardiner coming straight into the side this week, anybody that has an recent association with the football department should be the ones feeling the metaphorical "slap in the face."

Good luck to him, he's either been given the golden opportunity of filling what in effect is a massive void in our team or the poison chalice of being a bulldogs tall.

 

[Doggy]

Straight in, yikes!

Showing the faith

Hardly. A challenge maybe,but in a list that is deficient in that type of player, replacing Boyd with a similar type tall isn’t a slap in the face to anyone.

 

[TiAn_]

Remarkable. Had 3 touches in defence on the weekend. Resting up for a debut?

They may try him in defence and Trengove in the ruck/forward role again, based on Bev’s comments about Trengove a couple weeks ago.
