Not enough left footed players at the club

You all know us left footers are the best kicks in the business!

Also had the blessings from his Essendon aligned school football coach. Sounding a lot like Archie and Andy isn’t it.

In all seriousness, he covers (alongside Lual) an area of real need. We’ve seen an opportunity to get back up the draft and take him. Rate it.

Surgical left boot gets me a little excited.
