[Moonatic77]

For what it's worth.... there's quite a few on both the Ade and Port boards who think we got a steal here

 

[French Tiger]

Looks like a classy type

Seems fast for a big guy.

First saw him play as a 14yo for Central Augusta. Reminded me of a young Luke Hodge. My lads team played against him a lot until he moved to North Adelaide. I still consider him the best junior footballer I've seen come out of the Spencer Gulf League. Hard as a cats head. Will watch his career closely.

Anything less than 4 flags will be a fail then
But seriously thanks for the info. SA people seem to rate this kid

Looks like a decent kick to me

Much better video this one

2-,93 20 meter sprint,,,,,95 CM jump

 

[daftmike]

these are good numbers. Like Better than Harley Reid numbers. Or is it just because he plays in these shitty adelaide leagues that the numbers mean less.. Averaged a goal a game in 2023, 5.5 clearances, 26 touches,6 tackles and is explosive.

Am i missing something?

vic bias

 

[tugga]

Crows board really complimentary about mcauliffe

 

[RichoLedio]

As a former Port Augusta lad myself I approve of this pick

 

[Nerflardio2424]

Looks dynamic, go well young blood

They always talk up their own.

I remember them saying we got a steal in Brad Helbig

still reckon he could've made it if he was more athletic and talented.

Lets hope they're right this time

Sure this is not Jack Graham’s profile with the name and image changed?

Nah, Kane is super quick and has a beautiful left-foot kick on him.

 

[Mr Magic]

I am not convinced of his core and balance but he looks as though he could be versatile and at least has a crack.

I would start him on a wing for a left footer and see how he goes, ease him into the guts when required. Maybe he can be valuable to us by playing a few positions well

 

[AstuteTiger]

Good attributes. Tough, quick, and a very good ball user.

"Kane is a super competitor, an inside midfielder who thrives on contested ball, tackling and body contact. He tests very well for speed, registering 2.92 seconds in the 20-metre sprint at the combine, which allows him to use his speed and power to burst out of congestion and generate ball movement from stoppage.

"Kane played for North Adelaide in the SANFL. His early season dominance at Under 18 level saw him average 27 disposals and move into the reserves where he was a super consistent performer, averaging 19 disposals and 6.6 tackles against mature aged footballers. He was selected in all four games for the South Australia Under 18s in the National Champs, where he averaged 8.5 tackles and 18.5 disposals.

"He's a 187cm, strong bodied, competitive midfielder with speed who likes to hit bodies and challenge the tackler. Kane has raw power, showcased in his speed and his penetrating left foot kick. Rain, Hail or Shine, we know we will get maximum effort and commitment from Kane, a true tiger trait."

I did like the mark he took in his highlights

As long as he finishes his career with as many flags and finals appearances as JG, I won't be complaining.

That is exactly what I was thinking watching him just now, got a bit of the Hodge aggression and movement about him.

 

[TheOptimum18]

still reckon he could've made it if he was more athletic and talented.

So if he was just a better player in general?

 

[Morro]

His profile is amazing.

An explosive inside mid, hard as nails and thrives in the contest.

That’s a rare breed of mid. His explosive power and ball winning compared to a Danger type but with better kicking skills.

A man can dream.
