Very impressed with what was shown on the highlights video. A really good pick up.

Welcome to the Doggie's Bailey.
Looks impressive in the highlight package, is it just me or do I see a bit of Judas in his style of play ?

His name is seriously going to confuse people, but that aside, he looks taller/plays taller than 182cms. Apparently he has size 13 feet? It would suggest he could yet have some growing to do, which would begin to turn him into a bigger mid.

Yeah watching the highlights I assumed he was around about 186, seems pretty good in the air. And yeah size 13 feet, googled it before and read that most people with size 13-15 feet are over 6'4!! Theres also a quote from one of his coaches saying "he barely has a hair on his body" and he just looks very very young in the face, so wouldn't be surprised if he had quite a bit of growth in him, seems to only be coming good late too so hopefully his improvement trend continues.

His highlights package is quite exciting, had only seen bits of Webb and Daniel in the U/18's who I'm quite chuffed about but Dale's highlights reel is something to get excited about with his skill and movements, reading the play etc, looks a damn smart footballer.

I thought his highlights package was the most exciting apart from perhaps McLean's screamers. Seems to glide over the grass, a bit like Bonti. Also reminded me of Murphy a little, perhaps enhanced by fact there is not much of him.

Looks a really nice player. I can see him being a very good rebounding defender also. He looks taller than he tested at the combine.

Must be at least 192cm by now

Id also been thinking that might try him back in the VFL also to see how he goes

He's bigger than Hamilton in the frame and looks like he'll end up being a powerful type

Reminds me of Daisy..

I hope he turns out better than him.

Welcome Bailey, enjoyed watching your highlights reel and look forward to seeing more of the same at Whitten Oval

One gets a real sense of the draft night lottery and the tension for the prospective draftee, especially if you haven't been a much touted likely first rounder. Before pick 45 was read out the family sitting together in front of the TV would have known there was only another 25 or thereabouts to be chosen. Hope he makes it. Anyway, they must be on reasonable coin for an 18yo - what is it - about $100k? So all good anyway.

He really is quite raw and would be seen as a project player if he hadn't already shown what he has. Could be a big improver in a full time AFL program
