We need speed and he has speed, Quicker then Mooney
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.

As DTM asked a massive pass based on what? Have you seen him play?malla13 wrote:how many small players do we want? massive pass imo
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

I dare say at the time all the clubs would have expected him to grow more than he has.watt price tully wrote:As DTM asked a massive pass based on what? Have you seen him play?malla13 wrote:how many small players do we want? massive pass imo

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.
He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD!

No, there is none.AN_Inkling wrote:The second thing: he'll be a Collingwood player if we want him (unless I'm mistaken, there's not even a bidding process for NSW scolarship players like there is for father/sons), so this season is just another development year, and he'd be looking at fulfilling the requirements of Collingwood which are not likely to focus heaviliy on goals and kicks. The question will be about his ability to handle physicality, no one doubts his pace and skill.
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.
