Almost sounds like they were a bit surprised he was still availableDekka basically said when our pick came around, while we were mindful of our injury list, this kid was at the top of our board and so they couldn't not take him.
It’s not the size that matters, it’s the way you use it.And a few inches...
Dekka says that every year about all our drafteesAlmost sounds like they were a bit surprised he was still available

Need more then 1 Developing Ruck and both look could clunk pack marks up ForwardThis thread got really boring pretty quickly with a lot of the debate about nation of origin, etc.
Back on topic - seems we are hedging against Steene not making it and Condon not returning from US. And probably the expectation that Begg didn't make it.
Not sure what other options were out there since we seemed to have picked the eyes out of the mature agers already with Sully, Bytel, and Eyre preseason.
What was his injury mate?Smit: 18 months out with injury. Missed his entire 2023 draft year.
Hine: Hire this man!
Classic Hine smokey scenario.
If the physical and aggressive side of his game comes as naturally as claimed then he's in with a shot.
Shoulder reco & foot (don't know what exactly).What was his injury mate?
He'll need to set himself to play tall defender to have a chance, but yeah, shaky ground.Need more then 1 Developing Ruck and both look could clunk pack marks up Forward
Can’t have plans that Condon returns Be nice but might not either plus he be a Cat B Rookie
Begg could be in Trouble though
Probably a name given to people from Illyria.Iliro? Now there’s a name. An anagram of Rioli. What does it mean??
Dekka always says that rubbish.Almost sounds like they were a bit surprised he was still available
He literally didn't even say it this time, let alone always.Dekka always says that rubbish.
it’s a bit different with 18 year olds. Two ways of looking at this .TBH if he plays 30 games I'll be shocked. Rare to get any long term players from the MSD let alone a ruckman.
Hope he proves me wrong.
It is like a resume, so well done to him.
It showcases how much he wants to be given a chance, if he is willing to put himself out there like that.
Small minded people will look down on this and find a fault but looking through my employer lens, I love the fact he is having a crack.
I have admiration for him, for placing himself in a position to be ridiculed, in the hope of being seen by the right person.
He believes in himself, wants a chance and has obvious drive.
Well done young man, welcome to Collingwood and good luck to you .
