He loves to take the game on, didnāt test quick but looks quicker out on the field. 190cm player who plays on 3rd talls down back and can play as a 3rd tall forward aswell, he played that role pretty well in Bendigos last game
Heads up to anyone planning on attending our first practice match against the Tigers down at Beaconsfield on Saturday, due to the AFLās extreme heat policy and the forecast the game start time has been changed to 10am. I presume thereāll be an announcement at some point but thought Iād let you all know, if someone could please take my 7 and 2 year old daughters to swimming on Saturday morning so that I can attend Iād appreciate it.
Thanks for the update Paul. Do you know if many of the AFL listed players will be playing as they will then only have a 5 day break until the next match on Thursday 7th March vs the Cats.
Unfortunately due to a scheduling snafu (not on our end) our 2nd VFL practice match is that same Thursday night rather than slightly later as previously planned, so weāll be very carefully managing loads of AFL and VFL players through that week Iām sure. That said without having any insight on selection at this stage Iām sure thereāll be some AFL listed guys running around.
