I really hope that Carlton get a chance to take this kid as i think he has the right attributes to really make it at AFL level, could develop into a Wirrapanda or Pickett type player quite easily IMO, he has already lived in Melbourne for the past 2 years so should be over the homesickness by now, seems to be a really smart and stable young man without the reckless side that most Aboriginal players come with, really reminds me of Wirrapanda in that sense. Although he is only 176cm and 77kg at the moment he is really well built in terms of his upper body and muscular stature, again similar to the 2 i mentioned earlier, and while the other 2 are also under 180cm there muscular frames make them seem a lot taller than they really are. Was All Australian under18 this year and had a really good draft camp scoring in the top 2% for the 20 mtr sprint, top 11% in agility and top 15% in the beep test. He also averaged 22 possessions for the NT at the U18 championships.
Has a really great attitude and as i said earlier is a smart kid as well, would be a very nice addition to our list even at his size, or i should say height because in terms of build he is sensational, would be a great pick up at 19 if he lasts that long, or with a lot of luck with our next pick.
