Only just started playing AFL so he’s probably a really good kick.

C’mon… you like him already… reminds you of Brad Green with all that soccer background…

Those highlights in the rookie thread were decent…CLUNK!

Reminds me of Josh Jenkins.

Good pick

thats what rookie lists are made for

Just saw the highlights package…looks a great get.

Decent wing span!

More than that, a project ruck with actual meat on his bones, not one who needs to be force fed like some fois gras goose.

Looks incredible for a guy who has played the game for 8 months!

Looks very promising.

He is very well proportioned for such a young guy at that height

Great get!

a lot to work with, could still grow a bit before 20

I wonder if he’s any relation to the former Australian tennis player and golfer Scott Draper.
