Has plenty of experienced heads to learn from in our backline.

He's been playing alongside Sicily ...

He's already spoken from Bali about playing for us

To anyone in the know, has he played most of his career in defence? Including juniors? Could he possibly cut it on the wing?

Sharp also if he features in AFL. Has pace.

Word on Hawks' boards seems to be that he's better as a defender with the game in front of him. Doesn't have the footy IQ for the wing.

We might win the grand final sprint next year

Yep, Langdon has got good wheels.

Langford not so much - Bisons are slow off the mark but once they get up to speed can go fast and hard.

The other player with decent wheels, one i think we really missed last year (which is strange to say given he's barely played an AFL footy) is AMW.

It has become super important in footy to have a lot of players who can sustain high speed running but as importantly have really good acceleration from a standing start.

Such speed is important on offence of course, but i think it's even more important on defence (all team defence and the back 7) as with al teams now playing a variation of the aggressive back half transition game getting back quickly in numbers when the ball is turned over has become super critical.

Without wanting to disparage Clazz and Tracc, one benefit of both leaving is that is two less players in our best 22 who are slow both from a standing start and at striding pace (though Steele, who i think is terrific addition and will be a lock in our best 22, offsets that a bit as he's not super quick).

Seems like a ripping bloke. Looking forward to seeing him out there.
