Dyson Heppell anyone?
I reckon if Hawthorn turned up and had a chance to get me and I was tiger fan I'd be able to put on and act a pretty neat little attitude too.
Go tigers.
McDonald was Dandenong Stingrays and went to Hailbury College.
Sonsie was Eastern Ranges and went to Rowville Sports Academy.
Think they played junior football together in Lysterfield along with Jake Soligo.
If we can straighten out Stack given his issues then getting Sonsie to do everything right should take about 5mins.
Yeah, i havent seen the comments, but i would guess the recruiter was talking up McDonald rather than talking down The Sonz.
I'm actually wondering who the bloke is...?
Throwaway line or whatever, the use of the word character is really ordinary. Are we sure N.Guy isn't part of the hawks now?
There was a man adept at thinking on his feet!
McDonald was at RSA before being given a scholarship to Hailbury
Amazing result for Lysterfield Junior footy club. That's three kids in the top 40 of the draft.
FFS if recruiters are still gun shy about ‘character’ they shouldn’t be working at the highest level.
Back your systems in. Back your welfare staff in. Back your camaraderie, your culture, the *smile* in.
And most importantly, understand that these recruits are just kids. Who knows *smile* from clay when they’re 18?
A wonderful time to be alive, but no young lad is at their wisest, let’s be honest.
Recruiters are looking at works in progress on every level.
If Sonsie is truly a top five talent that’s an indictment on 17 other recruiting teams. And another win for the only club who has grasped how to be truly inclusive.

Understand the sentiment but every now and then a Billy Nicholls, Ty Zantuck or Tom Hislop slips through hence talent isn't everything.
yes, I think back to myself at 18 and cringe
Thankfully there weren't any mobile phones to take incriminating photos back then
The attitude concern was real. Matt Clarke touched on it in latest "Talking Tigers" Podcast.
I'm lead to believe him saying 'I just want to be a Tiger' was the stumbling block for many teams.
I would expect a few clubs would have responded to that with "So do we!!!!"
if that is all it takes, then future Tigers have the blueprint now.
“I just want to be a Tiger.”
Job done.
