Half Forward who has a good eye for goal. Irishman

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Irish, yeah?

 

[eth-dog]

Irish, yeah?

Correct. Has nice speed and a good kick for goal

 

[eth-dog]

I like him so far. Seems to have a pretty decent leg on him.

Yeah, there is lots to like.

He's a seriously powerful athlete, and seems to have a reasonably good feel for playing at half back though he hasn't really been tested defensively in either of the VFL games I've seen.

Also want to see him lower the eyes a bit and hit up targets. He's butchered more of his f50 entries than not.

Typical Irishman, even more typical VFL player.

Good but easy to see why he won't be anything more.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Looked very quick on Saturday, not too bad a kick either

 

[eth-dog]

Has been medically screened for the mid season draft, unsure who by though. Gold Coast perhaps? (Have two picks)

Have been surprised by how well he has fit into our system. Trying to understand what is holding him back from being a run - of - the - mill VFL player to a stand out one who could press for higher honours. He can kick it well, he has good enough pace, his game awareness seems to be ok.

Seems to have been lost in everything thats been going on but he has departed and headed back to Ireland. Disappointing to lose him as he would have been handy in the back end of the season with his bigger, seasoned body.

Alas, thanks for your (short) services Ray and good luck with everything back home
