Have liked what I've seen of him for Casey this year.

Hopefully the club are keeping an eye on him and may potentially draft him, either as a mid to late pick or even rookie draft.

Can't find much about him online, keen to know his height etc.

    I coached him junior cricket at Frankston YCW.  He played in back to back premierships in under 14's.  Was a decent medium pacer and a gun slips fielder.  Footy was always his go though.  A very clever small forward.  He's doing great at Casey this year.  Pleased to see him doing so well.

    Him & Grey are both pretty solid.

    Seems like a natural talent with a fair bit of upside.  Decent moves with ball in hand.  Be surprised if he isn't being looked at as we speak.

    Casey is a proven alternative pathway to the AFL with Bayley Fritsch and Oscar McInerney being the most notable. With the re-emergence of the VFL competition you'd expect others to follow their footsteps. Of the younger guys on Casey's list, Roan Steele has shown he can certainly play. Kicked multiple goals a few rounds back, he looks a smart player and is not afraid of the  physical stuff. Matthew Johnson on debut last round also looked impressive. There were some other new faces which would be expected with the recent Covid protocols. Will watch future developments with interest and anticipation.

    He's listed as a Covid top-up player for us prior to the start of the season so would imagine the club have been keeping tabs on him for a while.

    • 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.
