EXPERT OPINIONS

St Kilda list manager Ameet Bains:

“He finished off the year extremely well. We feel that the blend of his height with his pace and athleticism is fantastic and his ability to mark the ball was something that really attracted us”.

Western Jets region manager Shane Sexton:

“We’ve known for a long time that he’s had the talent. He’s an outstanding athlete in various elements like speed, agility and vertical jump. He’s got some special athletic attributes and is going to be a power athlete”.

St Kilda head recruiter Tony Elshaug:

“He’s got really good speed, a good jump, can really mark the footy and he is a really resilient young man with good character. He is very athletic and tested super at the combine in October”.

Former Western Jets coach Steven Kretiuk:

“When you look through the TAC Cup this year and all of the draftable forwards, he’s probably got the most attributes in terms of athletic ability in the whole competition”.
