Kicking looks great, seems a well balanced player. On the AFL stream they were raving about his footy iq, mentioned that he broke down our gameplan and how we beat the Lions to the Pies recruiters at the combine.

Welcome Harry!
Quick and handy user, sounds like just right for our game plan. Him and Murph can swap notes on how cricket is good, but winning flags with the Pies is better.
Go well kid, and seize this chance.

Love the way he burns off 3 blokes in that clip at 2.05. If he can adjust to the pace of the game at the top level and his disposal holds up, seems like a great selection as he is obviously a natural athlete.

Bit of work to do.
Kicking in50 is pretty woeful. But that’s a good fit at Collingwood!

Looks like he could slot on a wing or half back before transitioning to the midfield, really excited by this pick.

In and under, looks like a quicker Tom Mitchell to me, others say Maynard, but Maynard has a far cleaner, more fluid kicking technique and is good overhead, Demattia looks to be a solid future inside mid, expect him to cough it up like Taylor Adams and Tom Mitchell, but he makes up for it with his pressure and inside work.

It’s funny but when I saw his name I immediately thought of a line from a Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes song, Rock n Roll is Where I Hide “they’re waiting for me to DeMattiaralize right in front em”.
If he can dematerialize on field at will we have picked up a beauty

Gives me a faster Taylor Adam’s vibes.
Exactly what we need tbh, with Mitchell nearing the end and Adams already moved on.
A quicker Jai Newcombe? Yes please........

Looks a ripper. Go Pies.
He was compared to Ed Richards on the coverage, and Richards is a great defender so if we could mould him like that, it’ll be brilliant

Looks an exciting prospect.
agree, his kicking looks reasonably poor
inside hands look clean & quick to dish off to outside runners

Yeah, kicking in general looks like it needs work. I reckon 7 or more of his kicks in that highlights package from the game v tassie ended up in the arms of the opposition.
But seems to have some good mid instincts etc, something to work with
