This is a guy who's worth looking at in the rookie draft IMO. 198cm 98kg 23 year old KPF who can also play back in if needed.

Kicked 57 goals in 50 VFL games with Frankston Dolphins, however spent his first season (12 games) in defence and in his last match went off injured before getting a kick so it's effectively 57 goals in 37 games.

Best season was in 2012 where he kicked 30 goals in 18 matches averaging a tick under 12 posessions and 6 marks a game. Missed the start of this season with injury but in his first 5 games back has kicked 12 goals and a tick under 13 posessions a game and 5 marks each game.

Here's a snippet of what he can do taking mark of the day a few weeks back.

I know we have a few tall forwards, but if as some people have suggested we trade Fitzpatrick given his rising currency and if there's any issues with Mitch, Khan could be handy insurance.

    sign him up...imo the rookie list should always have a project tall or two-still spewing will didn't take louis herbert last year

    haretuku on a two year deal will see him through to the age of 25/26 which is around the time the bigger guys should start peaking

    I'm sceptical and here's the reason why.

    I was at the Frankston v Casey Scorpions game at Frankston about a month ago and he was in Frankston's best players. Problem is that he was playing in the development league game and not the seniors. Sorry, but if you're not getting a game in the ones for a non finals team at VFL level at that age, its highly unlikely you're going to make the grade.

    I've seen him a few times and he is well worth a look. He's a big imposing guy. Decent athlete, can hit packs and kick pretty well. I just don't think he's worth a look for us right now.

    Im pretty sure he was the 2012 CHF in the VFL team of the year.

    Can we please get him just so I can yell out at a game "KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!"

    Play him alongside Kent for maximum abusive ad libs potential.

    I like his finish to the 'mark of the week' when he bounced it off the head of an opposition player!

    Sure was, represented Victoria in the State match and was one of the best on ground. He's had a bad run with injury this year.

    I don't think we have room for any more power forwards.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
