I feel the kid is a special player - any rookie kicking 38 goals is pretty good , his next year he scored 24 and even this year he scored a goal a game (14) anyway the kid hasn't even turned 22 yet and he is not even being played in the position yet excelled at in his draft year which was a midfielder , wingman.In two minds about him. Had a very ordinary year off the back of glandular fever and not much of a pre-season apparently. Matthew Lloyd ( who I don’t mind listening to) says he’s a one trick pony who’s been worked out. Not professional enough.
Don’t want to get him just for the sake of it, but having said that, our recruitment team don’t do that kind of thing any more.
Think I’d prefer to keep Lonie.
I think we may have a go at Treloar if things fall into place, but failing that just head to the draft to find a good young player.
Lonie gives his all but after 6 years on our list his best goal scoring year was 16 , which is not really earth shattering.
I just feel the guy has been on the outer since he was outed for the betting scandal.
The kid is a good kick , mark and has speed to burn and anyone who can find the goals like he does is a very good player.
He has a bad year and all of a sudden he is a one trick pony , I really do feel he is way above the level of Higgins and Lonie - under the right coach he could become a real star.
