Welcome to the club, Ned.
Good to see a VFL player of ours rewarded with an opportunity. Gives hope for other players on the VFL list that there's a possibility to be a part of the AFL squad one day.

With those stats it's clearly a new VFL/AFL record for youngest player
Plenty of upside |

Not going to happen.
Apart from the fact that he would struggle to match one of the elite midfielders in the game, he has an injury, back in a week or 2.

Drafting them when already injured saves time I guess...

| We are recruiting footballers, not athletes, and trying to make them footballers. The club feels he has improved under our system and we can't deny that works. |

| Our chief Craig Kelly is big Ned. Now we have a Long Ned. I’m glad we don’t have a short Ned! Unless Joe Richards cops the Ned name |
