He's ready. Got an AFL-ready body, he's 22 years old, and kicked 50 goals in the VFL as a small forward/wingman. Really improved the defensive side of his game, and also some of the finer points (including positioning, spatial awareness etc.)Teflon wrote:so this guy ready to play next year???mature age?

Sounds like he has a great attitude too#1GILL wrote:Tonnes of improvement left in him too by the sounds of things. With the extra coaching provided with an AFL club and the chance to learn from a player like Milne who has one of the best football brains in the league from what we hear, he could really turn out to be a gem.
Loving this fella already.
He has worked on his deficencies and earned his spot.
States himself that he is still learning and believes he has a lot of improvement.
