Is this guy better than Tom McGuane? Pies obviously think so but what do the draft watchers think?

We drafted three mids, and nobody wanted Tom, so.....

I was just thinking if he is, it would be harder to bulk up.

yeah
He did say he didn't put on as much weight as his peers when he was younger.
I'm sure the dietican will look into it.

As it turns out Condon cost Tommy a pies career.
Could have taken Sax as cat b and Tommy cat a otherwise

Many Indians are vegetarian.
It makes them more likely to develop iron deficiency anaemia.
If Jai is vegetarian, which may not be the case, the club's dietician will be right on top of it.

We might of had Live Pick in Rookie Draft

If we viewed him as good enough he’d be on our list. Nothing to do with Condon
