The Big American looks alright and surely must be a chance for a rookie pick? He played with Carlton VFL so likely to be picked up by them.

A massive unit at 199cm and 107kgs very strong and good below the knees for a ruck. I like taking chances with tall players.

Not very coordinated. Undersized for a ruck and under skilled for any other position on the ground.

 

Funny..was a bit bored and got to reading.

Hes sorta interesting.

For a lad who hasn't grown up playing it he's cottoned on quite well. Kicking needs work but he can ruck.

Be unlucky not to be rookied by someone. A lot of upside there.

Doesnt get moved off ball much. Bloody solid unit.

i'm not seeing it. handy vfl player


Given the limitations of highlight packages in general he certainly looks a tough nut and has some handy skills for someone so big and new to the game.

Looks to ruck OK (at that level).

One comment re the highlights package: great work whoever put it out highlighting the subject player. So many highlights packages don't ever identify the subject, and if you don't know who to look for can take some time to work out.

IMO he would be possibly quite high potential gain, low risk as a rookie (depending of course if AvdB has a twin brother hiding somewhere).

How long has he been playing AFL?

since Friday last year I think....

A club with a spare rookie spot could do worse. Hes desperate to play footy. So many still arrive after drafting thinking they've made it...then..

This bloke wont leave anyone let himself guessing .

Interesting.

 

Problem is he can't be listed as a 'B' rookie as he played VFL.

That seems somewhat unfair and against the idea of the rules to draw more athletes in to the sport from other codes.

Should at least be allowed a trial amount of games.

Cons:

- Can't kick

- Can't mark

- Doesn't look like he has speed or agility

- Can't really jump

- Not overly tall

Pros;

- Strong

- Committed

- Physical

Overall I think he just doesn't have it athletically. The only centre square ruck contests he wins in that video are against a Box Hill back up who's a key defender. It's nice that he can tackle, but that's not really a core skill for a ruckman. How many AFL midfielders is he going to be able to run down?


Actually. .can mark.. better than so so ruck.

Kicking....hmm

Not saying for us. Gws should rookie him

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
