    Just read he did his ACL in his initial draft year. Hope it's all clear for him going forward.
    Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

    With our team watching over him, what could go wrong?

    His highlights remind me A LOT of first year Andrejs Everitt when he was that skinny half back flanker who looked like he could be anything in the second half of 2007

    Gee this kid looks smooth as well. We have managed an excellent draft. They all look good. And did we get a few extra picks next year as well

    Reminds me of Bailey Williams the way he is so upright when he kicks, changes direction nicely and kicks off two steps.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    He’s a great size. One I’m keen to see how we develop him and where he spends his first season at VFL level. He’d be an interesting prospect as a second possession midfielder who can handle the heat in tight and run hard outside.

    If you're a rookie prospect you'd want to get to the Bulldogs wouldn't you?
    Perhaps the Swans get close to our rookie record but I can't think of other teams you'd want to get to for opportunity/development/games played.

    The Crows have done exceptionally well over the past 6 years.
