              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.

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

                      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?

                        Really looking forward to some high flying grabs and excitement from young Toby. Toe -Beeeeeee !!!! (We will have to create a special cheer squad chant for him).

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

                          His story of getting too us is a great one.

                            Looks a bit like Jamie Elliot from Collingwood. Nice highlights.

                              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
