This guy has been at two clubs now, and from all accounts is a decent player, but gets a bit caught up in his own hype and has been a bit out of control. I believe a player like Spiderman could quite easily be brought into line at a club like Geelong. Should we look at him in the PSD?

Doubt we would look at him after being sacked by 2 clubs.

Pefifer, Dunn, Collard would all be higher on my list of players to take.
 
198cm, 104kg. Not much of a ruckman apparantly, but apparantly he's a gun around the ground and has good skills for a guy his size. Could we remake him as a defender?

Only if we remake him as a human being. If you can't make the cut at West Coast there must be some SERIOUS character issues.

Maybe that's the problem. At WC he doesn't have a strong enough leadership group. Maybe at Geelong with the group we have, we could turn him? I don't know. By the sounds of it, I wouldn't mind seeing what he could do.

He's only 21. I would rather us take him on a one-year minimum contract than an incredibly raw 18 yo. I like the idea of trying to turn him into a key-defender. But include a large amount of clauses in his contract, if he stuffs up, ship him out!

He's been nicked for break and enter before, maybe assault too in that incident? Not 100% sure, but he hasn't got too much going on upstairs. A lost cause, anyway, the tool would find too many 'mates' in Whittington.:(

But he was also axed from brisbane when they had a strong leadership group?

Older, wiser - maybe our leadership group might be able to get through to him. He seems like a mobile ruck and from all accounts he had a good WAFL season playing as a 2nd ruck - I know we have West, but a min. contract and rookied would be too good an opportunity to pass up.
 

Don't agree? I think he'd be more worth the risk than taking some raw 18 y.o. who we'll have to wait to develop. Besides, I don't think he's delisted anyway! :D

I was all for trying to get him on our rookie list when brissy axed him but if he has just been axed from a 2nd club I think I will stand back and let Wells do his job. An interview to see where the kids head is at is probably a key in all of this.....If the club thinks he has talent of course.
 
sorry but he is not worth it. As you would know he played for us. I know alot of people with the club they said he dosnt turn up to training. He has played about 3 games and didnt really blow anyone away. Also loves himself
