This kid could be a future champion. Big body ready and knows how to play. Has great composure and able to play all over the ground. If he slips through we should grab him. Have a feeling eagles and freo be happy to keep him in WA.

 

Looks a good size, but those highlights aren't exactly scintillating.

Would want to talk with him and also get some background from those around him - former coaches, teachers, family - to ascertain whether there's a potentially strong go home factor. 

Sometimes big bodied, confident kids dominate at junior level but get found out when they play amongst men in the AFL. I wonder where this kid might go in the draft and if he can take it to the next level. He's 193cm and 92kg already.

Anyone got more detail about him?

Sounds like he had an early career in fantasy/mythological films with a name like that

Also a quick chat with Nev who still has close contacts with Swan Districts would get all the information the club needs

AFL site tipping he is now a round 1 pick.

There are only 18 or so picks in the first round but at least double that number have been mentioned in despatches. I guess that means that we need to end up with at least one pick in the second round after trading to end up with at least potentially very good player. You always need an element of luck in your drafting but given what I think we're going to end up with at draft time, we will need it big time this year.

Apparently Logue was great in the 3k and Beep and very good overall and has climbed in his ranking.

Can't see him getting to any pick that we will hold, unless we clear a top player, as we lose our current 2nd round to Bombers.

His size and left foot reminds me of Bontempelli

Likely to go to Freo around pick 22. Very much like Josh Gibson.  Left footers appear to be more skilled.

His rebound and ability to cover defend is very attractive in todays game. 

Any relation to Lionel? Handy if any in management or the leadership group have difficulty with making speeches
