Seriously?

If he's anywhere near Mooney's speed and has skills then hang onto him. We can fit him into the game structure the way the Swans did with Jetta etc etc.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Well I read from a Bloke who seen him play and he says he is Quicker then Mooney. Plays a lot like Lewis Jetta from the Swans

As DTM asked a massive pass based on what? Have you seen him play?

I agree with you that EE's height is an issue not to be ignored.

The recruiters by & large seem to get things right with us, a lot of clubs wanted this guy. Sydney were massivley pissed off when we recruited him under the NSW scheme.

At Scotch College he is one of very few players to win their best school footy player as a year 11 student (competing against yr 12''s). The others include Swans premiership player Nick Johnton & Gold Coast's (ex Hawthorns premiership player Campbell Brown.

Based on that info (just reading the websited provided at CFC & Nicks) that augurs well for a player - & would hardly constitute a "Massive" pass.

However at this time based on what we know now & what we've invested so far I would be reluctant to pass on him just yet. After all, Darcy Moore's gunna need someone to rove his tap's in the foward line :lol:

I dare say at the time all the clubs would have expected him to grow more than he has.

Good effort to win the b&f but in reality that is just a school competition between private schoolboys.

Now that he's playing against the elite juniors in the TAC gathered from a much wider pool of talent he seems to be stuggling somewhat.

At the end of the day we can add him to the list for not much in terms of draft picks so he's worth the risk if we have a spot available.

Remember we passed on father son selection Stewart last year so his drafting is far from guaranteed.

Wasn't named in the best on AFL site.

Kicked 1 goal in second game and not named amongst the best.

The question will be about his ability to handle physicality, no one doubts his pace and skill.
No, there is none.

With NSW Scholarship players, you can just slot them onto your list as a "Category B" rookie with your last selection in the rookie draft.

Category B rookies exist outside the normal rookie list, and you can have a maximum of 3. Right now, our Category B's are Hartley, Mooney and Richmond.
