He seems to walk with a bit of Toby greene about him

Has half a season to prove himself worthy of a continuing spot on our list

The rookie me central draft write up lists clean hands and speed among his strengths which are both attributes we need on our list

Wish him all the best and let’s hope we’ve found something in the dregs of the draft

Was expected to go high night 2 last year in the ND.
Was invited to Night 1 as well so there was plenty of talent there prior to his injury.
Hope the kid knocks it out of the park and we get a gem.

Ok, wow he looks to have strong footy skills, and couldn't agree more.
Looks like a well built Tom Gross maybe.

I don’t wanna be negative but those highlights don’t exactly fill me with excitement. Mostly marks on a lead, no forward crumbing really which is what we desperately need in a small forward (considering we bomb it in constantly), and I’m not sure how he’s gonna go in the midfield when he’s 179 & 79 kilos. Seems like another Nosh Long. Hopefully I’m wrong and he turns into a best 22 player.

An actual decent ruckman would have been nice.
In the highlights the commentators actually said 176cm.

Looks very nuggety and shorter than most of his teammates when they’re in the shots next to him. Given 179cm is about 5’11” in the old scale fair to say that the commentators might be spot on that he’s actually only about 5’9”.
 
Looks quite a nuggety forward mid. Good above his head- which I think is an underrated trait in a small forward. The way we kick the ball inside 50 means it might be needed.

Not sure what his defensive traits are like but do get Jack Higgins vibes. Ie not the most polished but effective in his role.

Thought the same.

Seen him described as high pressure, will tackle for days and chase.

Reminds me of Malcolm Karpany
 
From last year



Surfer, lived on the west coast... Should fit right in.


Both Grego and him have lifestyles that seem to gel well with Perth, I wonder if this is a happy coincidence or a calculated move from the recruiting team

the 'go home' factor would be pretty minimal for those you'd think
