Hopefully he turns out to be one of those rookies that turns into a star player.

Some impressive stuff here.

Looks strong and bigger than 186.

Another penetrating left foot.

Perhaps it’s confirmation bias but it does feel like we’ve gone after some stronger bodies with better skills, neither of which have seemingly been a priority for many many years

This is exactly who I was crossing my fingers for in todays rookie draft. Can’t believe no one took a punt late in the national draft.

This kid is too good to be a rookie.
I think Rosa had pulled off a very balanced approach in this draft.
Lots of stronger bodies with touches of arrogance and improved kicking/marking ability

Gee I’m happy with Rosa, finally a sensible list manager. I think his had a great draft.

This is a good pick, he had glandular fever so that ■■■■■■ him this year, explains why he didn’t kick on as expected, but big upside if it can work out.

I also like we’re taking a lot of country kids that are good kicks and tough, not too skinny either. Exactly what our club has being crying out for, forever.

If you watch the Dylan Alexander review of players availble after pick 30 he said that 2 dads ran around 3.1 20m at the combine. Not express but he has other attributes, physicality, marking, xfactor which give him a chance. As a rookie definetly worth a punt

Sounds like he is smart up forward.
No doubt he will be played full back…Scott smarts.

He would have been shattered about not getting drafted.

But he gets his chance and I reckon he’s going to work pretty hard to take his chance.
He’s got some FIGJAM about him which I like.
