Two picks tonight, Baker and Poulter and possibly Williams and Gags.
Just play Libba in the middle and everyone else as a winger.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Re: WOOF welcomes Aiden O'Driscoll to the Kennel
For a guy named as a wing, he sure does seem to have some decent forward-craft in that video

7/. Aiden O'Driscoll. Without doubt the fastest I have ever coached. Faster than Bobby Hill. He is electric. Didn't have the year he should of in 2023 but showed some great signs on grand final day.

Reminds me a little of Jason Tutt in some of the footage I've seen. Go well young fella!

Arty Jones also went to Wesley in Perth. Bit of speed from that school!

LOL. Let's say the scholarships came after the speed was observed...
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Re: WOOF welcomes Aiden O'Driscoll to the Kennel
Looking forward to where AOD plays. Looks to have forward smarts for a winger.

Re: WOOF welcomes Aiden O'Driscoll to the Kennel
Recruiters talking about Aiden
They only really talk about his athletic profile (and it's very impressive) but the fact they don't mention much else is a sign that there's lots of room for improvement outside that. Still we took a raw athlete with Easton Wood and it worked alright so hopefully he can follow in the footprints of that man.

Re: WOOF welcomes Aiden O'Driscoll to the Kennel
Yeah he's clearly one of the best or maybe even the best athlete in the draft.
We just gotta hope we can translate that into a good footballer. He's at least got a bloody good footballing family. I wonder what his major drawbacks are that lead to him going so late.
