Hi Guys, have never seen this bloke play apart from the youtube clips, but know 3 blokes who follow Port in the Sanfl and they all reckon this guy could be something a little special. They also reckon that the penny dropped 1/2 way through the year. And at 23, might be a really surprising prospect in 2012. They reckon he could be a terrific bargain. Sounds bloody good to me!

Not to put too much pressure on the young guy, but at 23 he should be able to break into the 1's if he is going to good enough, sounds exciting!

Its a worry that at 21 he was a fixture in the SAFL reserves.....

at 21 we label some guys who havent cracked it in the VFL (or the AFL) as guys who should be delisted...

Hope he is a late maturer and not a Josh Houlihan, Phil Raymond, Justin Sweeney, Nick Heyne type who does not have the nuts and bolts in their game

Good luckk to him though....he has impressed someone

Some dudes do mature late - and weight is a factor. Has 6 months to bulk up now. If he commits to a weights program and a diet and takes it seriously - he can make it.

interest will be how much weight he puts on

apparently same height as Dal Santo but 16 kg lighter

that is a fair amount

The article in the other thread says he has put on 10kg since 2010.

Saints website has him listed at 71 - a step in the right direction...

Correct. Sanfl reserves last year , sanfl seniors this season. Big jump to AFL. Saad was the target - this guy was just a speculative pick that you pay nothing for and hope he finds something extra when put in the right environment eg Jimmy Gwilt. Could just as easily go the way of a Sweeney. It's a long shot.

Despite reports, he is actually 71 kg's everyone is saying this is pretty light but also helps with his speed and possibly enndurance.

To put this into perspective, Andrew lovett was 75 kg's and I don't think he particularly struggled with his weight

68kg was a few seasons ago. He would be around 78 which is still very light for his height. Ideally another 5-8kg is probably what he's aiming for. Beautiful mover.
