SANFL Panthers
Same side (Sth Adelaide) as Beau McCreery

We had to fill our usual quota of taking a player with a bad injury in the juniors. I hope it works out better this time than it normally has.

Speed, run and carry was clearly the focus for us tonight with our recruits.

A sign of the direction McRae wants to take our side in over the coming seasons?

Fair guess that he'll be the first Arlo to play for Colllingwood?

Was rated much higher than this before the draft. Maybe his bad shoulder injury put clubs off - otherwise is a top 20 player

We won the draft. Forget the papers going gaga over Richmond, this moment alone had us the clear winner. Suffer in your jocks, Essendon!

He’s a mid/forward more than half-back. Strong overhead, great clearance work.

He’s incredibly versatile though, can play anywhere. He played off HB for SA in that champs game before getting injured and looked the goods, he’s a forward runner so better being somewhere he can see the play too.

The knock on him was his two-way running because when his opponent won the ball at the stoppage he would (literally) walk, which he improved more forwards the end before being injured. He’s a first round prospect if he can pull his finger out which hopefully comes in an elite environment. Like he looked super for say 80% of the game, if he can improve that 20% where he can be lethargic, then he’s got plenty of upside.

Could well be the steal of the draft. Talking to a mate in SA who follows the kids closely and he cannot believe he got past 20. Also really rates Harvey Harrison, thought he might go top 20-30
