I just hope we keep him in the #64

A nice MFC number, indeed (sustained us until '21' came along...)

But his #41 ain't bad: one Frank 'Bluey' Adams sported it in his first two seasons.

Go forth and multipremiership, Paddy!

Looks strangely heavier when he plays for Casey as opposed to that Nar Nar Goon FC image

He’s a small forward, 181cm , not a medium forward, not that it matters.

Perhaps it does matter. Do we need another small fwd? Especially as our premiership full back has just retired. Or did we pick him because he plays angry? Is our squad too nice?

Good article, bloke has toiled away working his backside of for the chance. Won't waste it through lack of trying .

Awesome news! Paddy’s the eldest of five boys. I was talking with his mum at the North praccy and she said they were all hoping like hell he’d get on the seniors list, and he has!

Also great news that it’s not an ACL for Luker!

She must have knew Ghosty!

Yeah and I've also seen Bowey referred to as a medium sized defender.

To me Bowey is a small defender who plays tall. Does this help?

I guess we have some aging medium forwards. I hope he kicks on as McAdam/Melksham will be gone next year and Fritta turns 30 in December. So hopefully it solves a medium-long term problem.

In relation to big beasts in the backline. At the end of this season we'll know a lot more about Adams - and also see Berry has any potential. TMac will retire so we'll be on the lookout for someone then. Worst case scenario Howes/Taylor can play a little tall. We'll target someone long term for this though, either free agent/trade/draft pick.

Have they posted a highlights reel or any footage of sorts? Keen to see how he goes and haven’t seen anything from MFC

I don’t know if this is a planned strategy, but we seem to be getting more players from Gippsland lately

Mitch Moschetti you are a demon

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.

so in other words - Read: "Ship to Royal Pde ASAP"!

Set to debut.

Suggests Trelly won't be in the starting line up.

I tipped this!

What if the coach decides to debut #41 and we go to King's Cross?

Any player comparisons for Crossy?

A Daniel Cross between Paddy Cripps and Paddy Dangerfield.

Although I was a little shocked by the quick elevation, I trust the coaches decisions but when was the last time Riv was omitted?? Congratulations Paddy Cross I hope that you have a great game and enjoy the experience.
