Im just bewildered how everyone has made a solid expert opinion based on that one video. Reminds me of last year where 80% od people seemed to be anti Corey Ellis because he was so 'vanilla' all based on bloody youtube footage. Howd that work out.

Dunno yet

Too small & possessions aren't damaging -  a short version of B.Ellis...besides, from all reports we're either taking a big bodied inside mid or a small forward with our first pick- he is neither....though he could probably play as a small forward who can play midfield, which I'd prefer to a specialist small forward....having said that, I still wouldn't take him ahead of Ah Chee...
Too small for afl?
Please, what utter horse poo.
Since when do indigenous kids need to be tall to play AFL?

Too small for us......midfield's undersized enough as it is....we need bigger mids, not smaller ones....

We need mids that can get the pill and deliver it well into our 50m zone, hitting targets or kicking goals. If they can do that, I don't care how tall they are.

Sam Mitchell is 179 cm (at a stretch - I have met him and he isn't that tall).

Doesn't seem to worry him. Just can't outmark many players but that isn't what he does best....

What Im saying is that I'd rather have a better player than a taller player. If they are of equal ability, then of course take the bigger unit as that goes without saying.

Well if it's between Gresham and Mathieson I'll definitely take the former..hell I'd take Caleb Daniel before Mathieson..but the club has expressly stated they're primarily after bigger bodied mids & small forwards, so unless they see him as more of a small forward, I highly doubt we'll be taking a 177cm mid with our first pick... even Ah Chee the small forward we're supposedly considering is 182 cm....

Everything except limbo & Ronny Corbett look -a- like contests.

More a small forward than a mid, 5 cm taller than Gresham. Try again Ramps.
