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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • 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?

    • 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.

    • 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.
