I think we should look at Rookie Listing this kid.

He was looked over in he draft due to height but he can play.
Might be worth a rookie listing. Talent is talent IMO

How tall is he?

[merimbula]

Reminds me a bit of Brisbane player Zorko who had a similar road to the AFL - continued good performance at a lower level. Zorko has definitely been worth the gamble.

I think he would need a year at vfl level before considering

Is he your cousin?

WE should rookie him. We need a bearded ranga.

[ausfatcat]

well firstly he needs to go play in the VFL, or even above 4th division in the EFL........

Wasn't he in 'Treasure Island'? Or was that the name of the pub? The Admiral Benbow? Lol

There's something almost romantic about that photo.

nope not related
tested very well (top 10% in most areas) at the draft combine in Sippo's draft year (he is good mates with Sippo)
Agree about VFL however. His height was the biggest issue with AFL clubs. I think he is 177-78cm

A bit curious why he didn't even get on to a rookie list with those sort of results.

I think playing Division 4 tells you something. We had a 16 year old play for my local side this year and lost our B&F by one vote and could only get 3 games at the Dragons. And the guy plays like a freak. Our side would smash any Division 4 side in that comp based on previous practice matches.

True. That's if you consider the love scenes in 'Deliverance' romantic
