Alex Benbow
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

Re: Alex Benbow
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.

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.andrewg wrote:nope not related

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.
