Has 2 years to train at rfc never played seniors at peninsula grammar always been a basketballer apparantly
FMD. We've already got Nank, Soldo, Samsung n Maaate if we want to win a tip off. Surely one of them could manage to be competitive.
Don't mind using the Cat B system to get speculative n rummage around for some sort of future potential, but we've already got one basketballer who looked a genuine spud at footy last year while also having a young footballer who's big enough to maybe be a basketballer this year. Perhaps try something slightly different could be a good option for next year and onward.

Well let’s hope not , with a bit of luck he actually plays and develops along the way , coming from a long way back but soldo was similar
This bloke feels like the intersection of my two sporting loves, AFL and basketball. I'm putting myself up there in the top 2.45% of people who can identify ballers whose skill sets can translate. And here's my take on OHB.
1) Vision and ability to read the play around him- very good. Understands spacing, where players are moving and how things are going.
2)Bodywork and physicality - will translate very well, can shift weight around and move bodies to get to a better position, very good.
3) Tap work- I'll bet he is a very good tap ruckman. Will put the ball to the right spot.
I see these three as being elite for a man his size coming into the game.
Negaitves, not a leaper at all. Limited vertical. Will need to be a body work ruck in the Sean Darcy mode. Don't expect Luke Jackson at all.
Will not be a explosive athlete at all. Looks very slow over three steps but his thinking and sport IQ will make up for a lot of it. Need to see it but that's my take.
Great unknown- What kind of endurance athlete he is. This will determine if he makes it or not. Went to Peninsula Grammar, for me that would be the last time he played AFL. We need someone to find out about that.
But I love this gamble, do it every year. Ideally you find a 6"7 basketballer.

History would suggest we have modest expectations
Good though to have another hyphen (although, once again, good to moderate expectations...)

Give him a go for goodness sake. Apparently Tigers were not the only one after his services better off at Punt Road than anywhere else.
Can he at least speak Croatian?
Bradtke had a hell of a time understanding Big Ivy’s instructions.
