I've not seen much of him, but he's looked alright.

As in, ok, nothing too spectacular, but not a shocker, especially for an irishman.

Surely Jimma's presence would mean that we'd be a chance to get him, although i'd hope he doesn't think it appropriate to interfere with the decisions of the coaching panel.

Any thoughts??? (its been slow in this section, otherwise i'd probably not bother)

Pre-season draft - a vague 'not likely'

Rookie draft - with half a dozen to pick; pretty good option I would say.

Young enough to fit with the grand plan, old enough to be available immediately if needed.

No harm in giving him a year.

All depends on whether or not he's interested. I saw an interview with him when he'd debuted, and he seemed like he was here only for shits and giggles. May have been given the ass for that reason.

If he's serious about Aussie rules, then fair enough...

He's got good pace and his disposal is decent for someone who has only taken to the game a couple of years back, maybe lacks a bit of physicality.

A chance for a spot on the rookie list.

Would probably be worth a spot on the rookie list , although , from his interview , he doesn't seem to care whether he stays in Australia or not .

I think there are better options in other delisted players .

Hislop , Davenport and Chris Schmidt are all young , and have shown they can play and would all walk straight into our side and play well .

Tom Hislop will probably go in the ND . Davenport and Schmidt could be late ND picks or get through to the PSD .

I would be quite happy to sign one of them now as first PSD pick , and hope we are looking at that . As I said , all 3 would be good players in our team from round 1 .

If we were to go for a reject he would be the one I'd go for he has pace and pretty good skills can only get better was Brisbane's Rookie Of The Year in '07 so sacking him after 1 injury interupted year doesn't sound right, he might be another nutter like Hislop if he is I wouldn't go for him.

... he might be another nutter like Hislop...

Of course he's a nutter - he's irish!!

(apologies to any irish offended - Irish ex-girlfriend you see...)

Let him train with us so MFC can assess him before giving away a PSD or rookie list spot.

Probably a tad too logical there RR :lol:

Hasn't been mentioned much in these parts lately but the Irish lad had some injury problems and is now training with Collingwood.

He hasn't nominated for the national draft which suggests he will nominate for the PSD where we have first choice.

If he's good it might just be the time for us to stop being the patsy and draft someone wanted by another club?

This kid could be the chosen one...training with the filth though..... :angry:

I dare say Stynes would know a bit about him..

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
