Small sample size but seem to get less impressive with each game after starting like a house on fire. Hopefully not a sign of things to come.Showed he can play though, interesting to see how goes next year. Has pace & skills. :shh

Tend to agree

Reckon he ran out of gas, remembering that he came in ,I'd season from the SANFL which is semi professional league

After a full pre-season I'm expecting him to lockdown a small defensive FWD role with the odd run in the middle

Mid season draft.
Got a game in the seniors and did well.

Huge tick in terms of the pick.

Get him in system and see how he goes from here.
Go Tigers!

Hard to gauge expectations.

I gave him a 6 which might be harsh given he was a MSD with no experience in our team strategy and no professional fitness level.

Hope '24 is a big step forward but I am keeping my expectations cool.
