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.

At least you wouldn't have to wait for him to fill out!

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

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

[monoccular 16,382]

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.

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.

[DeeSpencer 23,417]

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?

[beelzebub 22,282]

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

Kicking....hmm

Not saying for us. Gws should rookie him
