Yeah. But not often enough. He left that up to Ronnie.

Will fit right in with that EFC speciality.

What’s his contested marking like? Wasn’t too many highlights of this on the video i saw.

Nor many ā€˜leading up to the kicker’ marks like a traditional full forward

A long form interview with Kayle if you want to get a sense for the type of character he is and his back story.

Shades of Taylor Walker and Jonathan Brown. Big calls but reads it well, clean by foot and a strong mark. How did this monster slide as far as he did. I know they have been spruiking a very deep draft but fark he looks every bit a top #15 pick in the highlights I’ve been able to find on him.

Wreaks of a bit of Rosa/Vosso WA connection with this kid. How did the Eagles not take him. Fark em his ours now. Not only does he look like he can play, I highly doubt anyone is going to ā– ā– ā– ā–  with this guy when he’s done 2-3 pre seasons.

Eagles have a habit of missing homegrown talent

The #26 suits him well.

They took our boy and we took theirs.

When he goes on his left he looks so much like tex walker with the kicking action.

Genuinely excited by the fact we don’t have spend five years trying to beef him up instead we will be able to focus on development

His contested marking looks like an area to improve on. Mind you, he’d have gone top 10 and no chance to land with us if that was a stand-out feature of his game.

Is he indigenous?

Pretty excited by this guy. Looks like he moves like Brody Grundy, only with forward craft. He’s going to be a monster in a few years.

I increasingly see the role of talls up forward as simply to compete and bring the ball to ground, marking is a bonus.

The cost of playing talls is that they can get exposed on the rebound / turnover - think Pete Wright on Mac Andrew.

A big competitive guy who finished sixth in agility testing in a strong draft? Sounds ready made for the modern game. The fact that he can kick as well makes me honestly shocked that he slipped that far.

His movement in traffic will be a huge asset in a competition that floods the forwardline.

Genuinely can’t wait to see how he goes at training
