“His point-of-difference is that he's so dynamic,” Recruiting Manager Jason Taylor said.

“His speed to get after opposition and provide pressure and tackle is outstanding really.

“He can sit on heads, he can kick goals, he's creative, so he's got a fair bit to his game.

“He's a really dynamic athlete, his testing is off the charts, his speed and endurance is really good.

“He's going to take some time though, recovering from that knee, and he's got time on his side.

“We'll get that right, and we're really excited by what he can be down the track.

“He does add a dimension to the forward line that's different to Kade Chandler, potentially Latrelle (Pickett) and Bailey Laurie.

Melksham (186cm) and Fritsch (188cm) are not tall forwards

They pretty much play as tall.

So again, we have enough tall stocks on our list.

Another draft has past and still we have not addressed the key forward problem. Seems like a lot will fall on an inform Fritsch,ageing Pie and Milksham and a hope that maybe Van Rooyen and Jefferson will may breakout.

JVR, Jefferson, Mihocek, Johnson, Kentfield, White, Heath, Melksham, Fritsch.

How many more tall forwards do you want?

Heard him interviewed on SEN this afternoon. Interesting fella to say the least and someone who, dare I say, may be whisked away for some media training on day 1.

What was interesting was the way he was seemingly carefree and easy going in every aspect of his life except for his football. Even the tone of his voice changes when he talks about footy.

Will be very interesting to see how he develops.

Yeah did hear it, it was interesting.

Went to Crown last night after the draft and "got rinsed" in his words.

When I heard he was from Gippsland and Moe, I immediately thought of Humphrey. I also thought of Xavier Lindsay and even Mentha out of Gippy recently. I wonder if the latter two are close too.

Hope our midfield doesnt take a hit injury wise..

Pass

Richmond going on a bidding spree..

This kid wouldn't be a surprise or secret to any club. Good recruiters will be across literally 1000's of kids through the major talent pathways. Tom was captain of gippsland and made the vic country squad before injury.

I saw him last year at la trobe put on some showreel stuff and looked a cut above most kids in their draft year. Even took a few centre bounces.

I'm super excited he's on board.

Great insight.

Thanks mate!

Is Archie Ludowyke still on the board too?

Yeah

Is that us done for the night?

Highlights here are seriously impressive.

What sort of players is he Dazz?

185cm Inside/outside midfielder who can also play off a half back as well so has that versatility.

He has a bit of that explosiveness burst out of stoppages but has really clean hands in tight as well and is a pretty neat kick of the footy.

His debut VFL game this year for Sandringham he played majority as an inside mid and had 26 disposals, 6 tackles and 4 clearances which shows that there is no doubt he could easily step up to senior footy next year.

Fits the modern game which is athletic profile as well.

Still think we will bid on Kye Finch.

Jesus, let's get through night 2 of the draft first before we start delisting players for next year yeah?

Did you listen to him on draft night? He ‘literally confirmed himself’ that he didn’t go to school at all

Yeah that wasn't my point bro.

You actually need to learn to read my initial post. I actually said that Taylor knocked back a private scholarship offer which he pretty much confirmed so.

You had a mate the other day on here, dont have another one..
