Love this.

Reminds me so much of Fritsch with his marking and goal sense ability

Welcome Paddy!

Fritta was also an electrician when signed from Casey. Hope they have similar careers!

Paddy Cross (angry)😁

Good pick up for a few reasons, 1 hopefully he's a very handy player, but also, we have Melksham who is coming to the end of his career - surely it's his last season, so could be a replacement and gets to learn directly from him or even for Fritsch who will be 30 before next season and is also a free agent.

Another local recruit from STH Gippy.

I like it - no go home factor.

How many Gippy boys have we recruited in the last 2 years?

3 or 4?

You probs don’t want Fritta as your sparky. The first time I stayed at his parents’ house, in his old bedroom which is now a guest bedroom, I saw that the light switch was positioned only centimetres from the door handle and so when you pull down the door handle you turned the light on whether you wanted to or not. Pauline (his mum) said, “Yeah it’s obvious Bayles didn’t get much experience as a sparky before playing footy full time.” 😂😂😂

What sort of offer are we preparing?

I'm not sure but we've appointed two of his ex coaches (King & McLennan), drafted his best mate (Matthews) and had our then president wine and dine him in the VIP's at his future training base Caulfield. Groundwork done ✅ if he does decide he'd like to come home.

I know nothing about this guy. Who does he play like? How old? Etc

He's part of the new breed of fowards - think big, mobile, runs up and down the ground with great hands. Kinda a hybrid Lockett, Ablett, Dunstall, Cameron, Pedo type. Expected him to start in the reserves - probably as 19th man.

What does this mean? That he's starting on the bench at Casey?

Welcome aboard Paddy Cross I hope that you continue to thrive and kick lots of goals for Casey and eventually Dees. So much change to look forward to, glad that you havE been involved in preseason simulations and know game plan, etc, will make it easier for you to slot into our overall structures whilst you build up your tank.

Good thing we are out at Casey…

From Taylor Whitford.

"He’s a terrific competitor – he plays the game angry – he tackles hard and he’s ferocious. Sometimes he might not get a lot of possessions but it’s the little things he does that the coaches are always rapt in. And he’s a goal sneak – he can kick a goal, Paddy boy. I think he’s got the ability to find his way into the AFL, without doubt.’’

I just hope we keep him in the #64
