Thought this was new coach for a minute.

In: Haynes-Brown
Out: Bradtke

One basketballer in for another basketballer.

 

[BiddiscombeSkills]

It’s a punt, but that’s what Cat B rookies are all about. Happy that we’re thinking outside the box.

 

[nikolasmia]

I love it when stuff like this happens

 

[The Mole]

Cost nuthin. I reckon he would know Noah Balta.

What did you witness caesar? Could he kick?

 

[thegdog]

Just get him to belt the ball 20 metres forward, Clark Keating style

 

[FitenFitenWin]

I like this kid. Not quite athletic enough for top tier basketball but is mobile, competitive and aggressive in the air. He ain’t Colina that’s for sure. He may just make it.

 

[FitenFitenWin]

And strong - bull strong.

 

[BrisTiger24]

The Viking?

 

[momentai]

Love this pick.
Know nothing but low risk high reward gamble and the fact he has been in WA suggests our WA arm has been involved.
Love this arm.

 

[houstontiger]

Hopefully our luck will change with recruiting hyphenated names with this Giant. JON, RCD and Egg didn't do so well. Any others?

 

[TigerForce]

No Aussie Rules experience? Change for Colina surely as we can't keep 2 basketballers in the team. Is this our Wylie Buzza?

[tigertim]

A basketball background hey? He,ll be another Pendlebury!

 

[Redford]

Hyphen.

De-list.

Scott Pendlebury?? How so?

He shall be henceforth known as Wylie Buzza Beater
