He was recruited based on impressive forward pressure and tackle numbers in the wafl especially during the finals.

He gets amongst it. Just keeps bobbing up and gets to the right spots. Finds the ball. He's a dwarf, but he can play.

He really buzzes around but he'll get snapped in two at AFL level. He looks like he's about 10 kg short of the mark but when recruited he was 173/67, so adequate playing weight could be achieved by next year and ideal weight easily within 2. Yet another magnificent midget to add to the mix.

A game high 6 tackles on the weekend. Runs all day. Kicks goals and sets them up too. I just wonder if he's closer to selection than we think given doubts about Stengle and Bolton running out games at AFL level. Potentially in for Snaggins?

sounds like he's playing the Richmond way?

Has a big motor going off his draft camp 3km.

I love his toughs too, and the country footballer 80's vibe. Seems to make things happen as well.

maybe there is a chance we see him in the big time this year?
