Gun basketballer has just quit the Perth Wildcats.

Is the grandson of a 3 time MFC Premiership player Peter Marquis

Not sure who he's signed with but if he's walking away from a contract he must have something lined up. Would count outside the salary cap and the rookie list.

I hope in a shallow draft it's us. Westrupp didn't work out but this guy seemingly has better credentials at 191cm and 93kgs and having played as a junior.

Check out his highlight tapes:

He can shoot, rebound, dunk, if he brings that athleticism with a footy background he's got to be worth a try.

    Apparently has previously been linked to Collingwood (possibly signed prior to joining the Wildcats?), Adelaide may have some interest.

    I heard a few bits and pieces about us looking at Shaun Smith's basketball playing son as a rule 2 rookie.

    Greenwood well worth a look.

    And several off them.

    According to a few twitter reports he's signed with Adelaide. Who were also the front runner to Alex Keath.

    Blicavs might be the best product of this non footy rookie rule, in fact he might be about the only good one, we will see how the US bloke goes for the Saints. On the whole though it looks like a so far small but possible decent advantage for the rich clubs who can afford to take chances with 2 of these guys. In Greenwood's case if he's giving up a professional basketball career I'm guessing he's getting paid more than an average rookie.

    As a young kid Peter Marquis was one of my favourite players in that very strong Melbourne side of the 50s. It would be a pity if his grandson turns out to be a great footballer and plays for anyone other than the MFC but it seems we don't have much interest in this left of centre type of recruiting.

    • 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.
