24yo
194cm key forward
Was taken pick 6 2007 draft, only played 2 afl games
Admits was not ready for afl footy, drafted from country town in Tassie

Now playing coach of South Launceston.
Has really improved the club along with his own footy.
Now engaged and a father, has matured substantially.

I think he'd be worth a look at.
Don't expect him to be the next Riewoldt, but he's at the right age to add depth to our KP stocks which arn't too crash hot - especially when Kozi likely retires at season's end and Roo retires in another 1-2 seasons time.

We all like the look of Lee and White but they are a fair way off AFL standard at the moment. Their bodies are clearly not ready. However, they can continue to develop in the VFL.

Thorp looks like he could slot into the team and be serviceable...couldn't do any worse than Maister?

Could become the Saint's Dunstan (like the Hawks one).
