Some of the highlights he reminds me a bit of Patrick Ryder, not sure if thats good or bad but he does appear to have some talent, whats been holding him back?

I wish him all the best. Let's hope he has a blinder against the dees and it gives him the confidence and belief that he can make it at this level.  :pray

Watch who you're calling the big girl. Never seen the big girl duck her head like this bloke does.

Interesting to see how he goes in defence at AFL level having been a ruckman for most of his career so far until moved into Coburg backline this season. Does he have the agility and acceleration off the mark for a big bloke to play defence at this level?

Can take a fantastic contested grab this bloke, just hoping he can make the transition to AFL level. Looked good in the NAB last year when he first joined the club before stuffing his ankle.

Danger, danger!

Careful who you take advice on that one from big fella.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Maybe a bit harsh given it was his first AFL game but the big X looked too slow and lost where the ball was too many times. I guess playing him has allowed us to find out whether he was or not up to AFL level.

I thought he went to ground too much early on. His tackling was good early. Too slow and not good enough to play down back at AFL level but I reckon he'll get a gig next week. If he gets dropped then we might be looking at Beefcake getting another crack at it.

Id give him anther run, rarelt got near it, spending too much time star gazing the jack lids and cotch show ....he ll be right. Has rare agility for someone of his height, and boy can he take a grab., was a goalkicking machine back at claremont :shh
