He's training with Hawthorn and played with the Murray Bushrangers. Thoughts? He played as a tall defender. Is he someone we should be looking at for the Rookie Draft?

Not for me, we have enough young tall defenders. FKP or ruckman for mine

I've watched a bit of footage of this kid & i think he's just not good enough.

I doubt he'll be taken at all.

Please remember one thing about the PSD and Rookie Drafts. Historically, they might throw up the odd champion player like a Cox, Rutten or a Davey but the majority of players taken in these drafts are short termers and never make much of a mark on the game. I'd be delighted if we could do as well as we did last year with Stefan Martin (PSD) and Aussie and Shane Valenti as rookies with Spencer and possibly Zomer still good prospects. However, a check of past drafts shows how poor these drafts have been in the past and this year's crop doesn't inspire me much.
