Was just reading my local leader and came across this local guy who is closing in on 100 goals. Seems very skinny but worth a look consdering we got Leigh Williams last year.

Have a read of the article if you want:

He is also a nephew of Collingwood Football Manager Geoff Walsh.

    He's playing in Division 3. I'd consider if he was close to kicking 100 in the VFL/WAFL or any serious competition.

    Lucas Cook would have kicked 300 goals by now at that level, already got enough skinny forwards without rookieing one who wouldn't play AFL ever.

    been watching him play a while now, has got serious talent, all the attributes to make it at the top level, yes he is skinny but has broad shoulders and on the right program I feel could fill out. 100 goals in any league is a huge achievement, yes its only division 3 but he can only perform at the level his team's playing at. not many kids his age would deal with the brute bodies of an amateur league, and at 6'5 his pace is quite rare. leads well, grabs well. the kid can play and it was only last week that I saw collingwood recruiters watching his games, could do a lot worse and at a rookie pick we're not giving up much

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
