Touted highly as a kid, couldn't cut it with Melbourne coming from a remote community, made massive steps in the Recruit on Fox.
Kid really started to get his head around what is required now he's 21. he's previously nominated so is up for grabs, I'd be very inclined to use a rookie pick on him if he's still there.
He's somewhere between 191 and 195cm, glides across the ground and can leap tall buildings.
thoughts?

From what I saw on the recruit, potentially has the talent but very weak above the shoulders. Would be a waste of time. Could play one or two flash in the pan games but would frustrate the hell out of you otherwise.
Better off selecting a 25 year old dominating country ruckman or a
country mature age full forward who has kicked
150 goals. |

Doesn't want it enough.
I'd be much more interested in Wagner of the final 3, although I wouldn't put it past Dekka to see if we could make something out of Bradie Foster...

Has Massive Upside but with the possible Weakness he might Struggle to get there.
If we can get him as a Cat B. He is well worth that risk

Yeah, would have no issue at all with rookie listing.
As many have said he seems like a brilliant talent but doesn't seem to have the desire for it. A year on the rookie list would be a great test. If he fails, oh well, if he doesn't we could have a major talent on our hands |

I have a preference for footballers over celebrities. This bloke was on some talent show I take it?

He was highly rated before the show and was picked to go high in a previous draft (2011 or 2012 I think) so it's not as if he's simply a celebrity.
I hardly see anyone getting excited here so much as having a discussion about whether he's worth the risk or not. *rolls eyes* |
