Sydney has dropped off a bit. Is he worth a look at for rookie list?

I'm not 100% sure why but I think Riley Collier-Dawkins could be a candidate to make it back on a list somewhere.

Wasn't he the next Bontempelli?

They're not exactly the same but I can see some similarities with Hustwaite from this year's draft group.

I thought he was a good junior and seem to recall a game where he played in the back line as a tall defender.
He might lack a bit with intensity.

I didn’t mind Aarts….would be an upgrade on McNeil ??

No. Richmond supporters couldn’t get rid of him fast enough. Poor kick

[Bulldog Joe]

Not sure I agree on that. Aarts is 7 years older and went backwards in 22.

McNeil still has some potential development.

I think because McNeil was taken from the SANFL he's seen as more of a mature aged recruit and has been grouped with some other less popular recent players aka McComb.


We need to remember that he was only one year out of 18s and does have limitations which is why he was originally overlooked. Having said that, he's done extremely well to have an immediate impact and his specific skill set is something that we need within our side. Hopefully there's more development left in his game because we are certainly looking for a forward with speed and tackling pressure.

We will know by the end of next season if McNeil has what it takes. He's got some attributes that are of AFL standard but he needs to improving his kicking and get a bit more of the footy.
