Confirmed to head over in Jan.
After my initial melt I've come around to the idea more, highlights look pretty good given he hasn't played much footy. Looks to have a good amount of mass on him already and like he could fill out pretty well which bodes well for transitioning to the midfield. Looks pretty strong overhead as well. Hopefully he has a big preseason and can get into the senior side pretty quickly.
Some things are not 'possible' but real. he has true pace, looks relaxed but is fast and has endurance with a powerful body (thats where the sprinting comes from - not a good school level but state level.) We have a Rolls RoyceThe vision they showed on Draft night (when David King had him 10th in his top 10) of him arranging team-mates at a stoppage was great. He ended up getting the ball about 20 seconds later, but had basically created the space and opportunity through leadership.
I wasn't (maybe still not) convinced at the time of the pick about it being right at 14 - but if a few of his 'elite possible' qualities come together he could be an absolute jet. Time will tell, but there are definitely things that we can work with.
I believe most experts did not rate him due to previous injury until they found out WCE is going to pick him up.
He is now in a "hidden jam" status and the pressure is on the club to develop him into a shiny precious stone.
We also traded down to land Sheed. Round 1 debut confirmed!
Wonder when he'll actually get a game, unlikely to be any time soon, given his start will be later than everyone else
Our other first rounders:
Venables didn't debut until round 1 of his second season.
Brander pulled on the wings in a famous belting at the SCG in round 13 of his first year.
Duggan played round 2 after he was drafted.
Sheed played round 1 in his first year.
That‘s life. If you are not careful like me this time, a gem can be turned into jam.Hidden jam? Was he stuck up the back of the pantry?

With a few solid preseasons under his belt I'm looking forward to him looking a little more like this.View attachment 1287879
glad the club has already fitted him for a suit.
