Damian, Adem's older brother was a goal kicking machine in those parts.

The enigma.

Alas, we are still in a winter searching hopefully...for the blossom buds, for then we will know, spring will be nigh upon us.

I don't think so. He is a a professional athlete that needs to build body size, which he will do over a few seasons, both naturally and with hard work. It's no different to a young player building endurance capability. He knows it, the coaches know it, and we know it. And everyone knows that will take time and require patience, which if anything takes the pressure off him.

Are we due for a James Hird, Nat Fyfe, Max Gawn type steal. Yeah we are.

I'm missing something here. What is the knock on him?

I disagree at this stage of his career. Having coached juniors I wanted them to test thier ability to move in space, break tackles and find the best option, within reason. You can't learn how to break tackles, unless you try to break tackles. And in this game you need a bull who has this ability. Build this capability and find the threshold. Best place to do this is in training.

You are using the fact that he was cut, and overlooked, to form your opinion of his value. I am using data and my eyes. Your comprehension needs a lot of work, you disingenously argue against postions that aren't made, and you insult people. Chill.

He is a 22 year old and last year was his first full season since being drafted. He lost time due to an ACL. He kicked 4 goals in an AFL game as a 19 year old. He is an ultra big bodied mid who is very strong in the air and can kick a snag. This is good. If he continues to build on last season effort he gets a game at all of those teams. Injury is the caveat. List managers should get sacked at West Coast for premature ejection. They know that they have majorly screwed up. Google Joanie whippersnapper.

Sincerely hope and if he has a clear run believe that this will age like Joanie Cunningham

A bit of a fan of himself, which is a good trait to a degree.
