Won Sandy's B+F, will certainly be a good recruit for Casey! In some ways Valenti and Tuck would have been safer choices because we know what they can do. Let's see how James goes.

    The safer choice isn't always the best choice in the end. Who knows, we may have just recruited the next Barlow...

    Sounds like we have drafted someone with a big body who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. A player that loves a scrap.

    He's probably limited skills wise, but getting more big bodies into the side is a good ploy.

    Exactly! With the likes of Tuck and Valenti, we know that they have already blown it at least once... with this guy, all we know is that he was B&F at Sandy and may well be ready to grasp this opportunity with both hands. Worth a dip!

    Ok, here we go.

    A 24 mid with a liking for the contest...

    Could he be considered a chance to start 2012 in our midfield?

    Good clip, looks ferocious and has a bit of struggle and grunt about him. To be honest this pick excites me more than yet another collection of skinny "project player" forwards.

    loves a tackle - on the Trengove scale he will miss three quarters of the season

  • Quote

    I rate him as a VFL player.

    Would like to see how he'd go stepping up.

  • Quote

    Definitely scrappy, dunno about the rest of his skills but the guy can tackle!

    Ferocity seems fantastic! Is there a hint of Trengove in some of his tackling?

    Games given to players based on "getting games into them" or on potential look to be over. A number of bigger stronger types added this preseason across all drafts.

    Not getting carried away and saying he will be as good as but i thought there was a bit of Dane Swan about him.

    I think it's the running style, I had the same thoughts.

    i think his skills looked pretty good, its obviously only a highlights package, but he didnt miss a target and his hands were good in close.

  • Quote

    Was also training with St Kilda during the pre-season.

    He certainly has got us talking - some 25 posts compared to the single figures of the other rookies!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
