Remember this kid?

Has walked out on the newly christened Northern Blues. Has been a fantasic player for the old Bullants side, from all reports.

Anyone fancy giving him another shot, in our VFL team?

Why did he walk out?

I remember him. He may have only played 2 or 3 matches for us in the end.

I wouldn't mind giving him a punt at Collingwood reserves.

One of his games was against a dominant WCE in earlt 2007 I think. Did alright but was up against formidable opposition in Kerr and Judd and never played again I think.

Mick didn't like him

Played only 4 games.

Has been a great player for the old Bullants side, but is now back playing local footy (old Diamond Valley League, I think)...

Accumulates a lot of the ball, disposal is reasonable, collected a fair few bests for the bullants during a time where they were pretty strong in the VFL. Carlton looked at him, I think, during his time with the bullants, but didn't draft him.

He's too small and too slow for AFL. That's why Mick "didn't like him". And, presumably, why the 'Blues didn't consider giving him a spot on their senior list.

I remember the huge build-up from the Club before his last game against Melbourne in 2006 - but he plainly didn't have it. He was like a slow, small Sam Isles or Ryan Cook.

I don't recall him ever playing against the Wiggles but perhaps he turned out against them in a pre-season match. He did perform averagely in a home and away game against Freo at Subi in 2005 - the 'Pies lost by 18 or 19 goals, so it wasn't really possible to assess him on that game. He did better than Shane Woewoeful that day - but then, so did Chad Morrison.

He's a fairly "neat" footballer, though and I suppose the mid-field kids in the VFL team might learn a little from playing with him.

The most famous comment ever made about this kid was by Nathan Buckley who predicted he would go on to one day captain Collingwood!

^ Bucks said the same thing about Craig Jacotine.
