Massive kid,gotta pick him up next draft.:eek:

Eligible next year, he is a massive unit - 198cm 96kg last check. Plays mainly as a second ruck for his seniors team, but hopefully would be able to be developed into a key foward.

He is a bit unco and his skills are so-so, but he is built like hercules and doesn't have chicken legs. I would say that we would have to at least rookie him next year - our big man stocks are looking much better with the addition of younters Gourdis, Putt and Rance.

It would be interesting if Natatui is still around at our pick next year considering that we have Putt, Graham, Pattison all as young ruckman. Plus the potential addition of Lee PLUS Simmonds and Cartlege on the rookie list

How about we win 10 games instead of waste another season to pick up another good player. :cool:

We dont have to worry about that with Lee. He's our NSW rookie so no one can steal him anyway. We have first dibs.

i think we need a early selection for a ruckman next year - a PURE ruckman.not getting selection one this season may be a blessing - as i think Kruezer will be a gun, but not the answer to the dominant "tap ruckman" we need. pattison is the great 2nd ruckman which can work it around the ground - we need a top tap ruckman next year

I think Putt is gonna be used at Full forward - long term.

"Pure ruckmen" or "tap ruckmen" like Jolly or Seaby tend to be second ruckmen who spend most of their time on the bench or occassionally sitting in a forward pocket. I think you are in for a disappointment if you think we are going to recruit one of those types while Wallace is around. I don't think the Knobel experiment will be repeated.

To answer a few of your questions... from what I've he's a solid player who would have to be treated like an Angus Graham in the fact that he is still pretty raw. However, he has size going for him which, on our list, is half the trouble developing.

He is a player who has no real standout features, but also no real stand out disadvantages other then probably his no preffered kicking.

A bit of history on him, he was first rookied under the scholarship program at 16 when he was was a massive 196cm, 96kg. He played alot of competitive basketball, but had to make a decesion on what to follow up. Being a junior basketballer can be seen as a big advanatge as it develops better desecion making skills as seen in Pendlebury and our own Deledio.

Is he a pure "tap" ruck? No. But, as seen with Trent Knobels and Micheal Rix's, tap ruckman are pretty much dead, and ruckman now have to either be able to go foward to create a realistic option (Lade), act as an extra mid (Charman, Pattison) or do a bit of both (Cox, Everit, Simmonds)

thats a worry, sounds like a lug, at least a Patto has a good sense for reading the play and knocking plenty of possies.....any player that gets listed needs to have something other than physical dimensions going for them:o

Like i said, being he is going to need a bit of ironing out, and he will be a long term project player - similar to Angus Graham now. However, his basketball background and the fact he is a haulk of a boy suggest that he could potentially be fastracked

It would have been in his interests to live in melbourne, either play TAC or EFL at worst, would be better that sydney league or is he playing seniors up there?
