Kevin Sheehan says: Midfielder who can play forward and use his excellent disposal to set up goals. Quick and strong overhead for his size, he also makes good decisions with the football.
In his own words
What type of player are you?
I'm a small/medium player who can run and break the lines with speed. I kick the ball long and accurately. Good decisions and strong marking for a small are key aspects of the game.
Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?
Luke Hodge. I feel that I kick the ball like Hodgey and make good decisions like he does. I reckon my game style is similar to his in terms of courage and marking, also similar work rate and roles played.
What are your strengths as a footballer?
My number one strength is my kicking penetration, accuracy and distance. I find that my marking for a small is very good and my run and carry resulting in broken lines is good.
What parts of your game would you like to improve?
I would like to improve my physical presence around a contest. I would also like to be more damaging around the contest.
Which AFL team do you support and how did you come to barrack for them?
I don't barrack for a team. I just have a pure passion for the game. I have a greater love watching players go about their role rather than supporting any one team.
Who has been the biggest influence on your career so far, and why?
My dad has been the biggest influence on my career so far because he is very supportive and provides me with feedback after every game.

Sadly I don't think so P66 - I think you might be wasting your time, but don't take it to heart.

spinner ... you are a good judge ... lovely left foot and great vision ... pacy ... needs to add 6kg so probably 12 months away ... reminds me of Aussie Jones
AwayInUSA no longer ... have based myself back in Melbourne for a decade of Saintsational Success (with regular trips back to the USA)

Terry Wallace just gave him a HUGE wrap.
Said the two best kicks he ever coached was Rohan Smith early and Lindsay Gilbee.
Reckons Crocker is the equal or if not better than both of them. Believes it is a great pickup for the Saints.
Robert Shaw reckons he hasn't seen longer goals than this kid kicks.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

In general I would have thought I have a good sense of humour, but generally on a computer screen emotion is hard to pick up without a hintderby Street wrote:Sadly I don't think so P66 - I think you might be wasting your time, but don't take it to heart.
