    Real class there, looks a decent little half forward. I wonder whether he can transition to midfield?

    Happy with this selection.

    Where do we see him fitting in, with quite a few similar sized blokes who can play similar roles?

    Looks like it frees Dal to move into the midfield.
    BB.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    Love this selection, can see him playing in the midfield in the future. Was a great improver throughout the year.

    Certainly a clever footballer

    Very good one on one - super aerialist for his height, very clever around goals, good vision, kick etc

    How did he test athletically?

    Good Beep, poor sprints and agility. We need to look past that I guess.

    His story of getting too us is a great one.

    A story of great persistence - After being overlooked as a bottom age U18 by Stingrays he kicked 50 odd goals and won a senior B&F as a bottom age U18 player right? Thats pretty amazing at 70kgs

    Asked the Chargers for a chance, one of the stories of the draft to be honest

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
