He's about 192-193, watched him play most of last year, probably needs to add a little bit of muscle to his frame as he's around 80kg which is quite light for his lanky frame, not sure about 1's in Tas, He should but i'd say it will take a few games for him to adjust, But he really is your Riewoldt kind of player, great overhead mark, Big engine, Will lead up to the wing double back and go again and can do it all day, pretty accurate kick too.

Cleared to play for AFL Cairns side Cairns City Cobras.

Tom Reid and Tom Balcombe are both with Broadbeach in Queensland, from what I have read.
 
Can anyone explain why Clarence seem to reject all clearance requests? Is it because they have a certain amount of days to respond before the clearance goes through automatically and they are buying themselves time (or they hope the player changes their mind)?

Most of them are because they have old footy jumpers they havent handed back in or are owing $$.

Having seen this first hand, they always say the player owes money even if they don't....it just buys them some time to assess the clearance fully.

I was talking to a player today seeking a clearance from Clarence to play in the OSFA he was told he owed money for bullion tickets, and football gear, and would not be cleared until he paid the money.I think he said $260.if they all owe similar amounts the total owing is about $4000.

Surely a club like Clarence would pay for socks and shorts for their players? I would even think they would would buy them jumpers. A few teams that i've played for did this and they weren't as financial as Clarence.

Says in todays mercury that Russell Robertson has not ruled out playing in the TSL at some point.

Yeah I read that and he's only 31 so he'd do well in this level of footy too - given the way Melbourne got crucified today he'd still slot easily into that side - mind you so would probably Robbie Flower, Ron Barassi, 'Bluey' Adams and Ivor Warne-Smith :p
But seriously he'd be a good drawcard, something which this competition seriously lacks - drawcard players - it will be hard to get an increase in crowds without them, always has been (see the attendances at TFL matches during the mid 70s and late 90's as proof).
Only part is, where we would he play? His old team Burnie are in a real pickle, wonder if he'd come over and take over the Dockers?
Imagine a Robertson-led Burnie Dockers, that'd get the town pumping again.
