187 cm 84 kg tall defender wingman.

This kid has been starved of opportunity at the Eagles. 

42 games in 4 years. A definite chance to get him back to Victoria (although he is a Geelong boy). 

Good pace and skilled.  Was tipped to be drafted around 25-26 in 2014 draft but slipped to 51 games. Solid build under the Eagles gym program.

With a potential 3rd round pick coming our way from the Saints for Kent (around 43-44) we should make a play for Jackson Nelson now.

    187cm is not tall. Clayton Oliver is 187, Angus Brayshaw 187, Bailey Fritch 188

    A shade under 6'2'' in imperial terms not a bad size if he can run, kick and hold a mark definitely worth the look.

    Nice enough player but contracted until next year. I couldn't see us paying what's required to move him. Should be able to find half back flankers out of Hibberd, Salem, Fritsch, Joel Smith, KK and some draft picks.

    No thanks, have never really been impressed with him

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
