When he was drafted he was projected to be a defender against the medium/3rd KPF. He looks like he has put on a bit of weight since then. Is it possible he continues to bulk up to play on the true #1 KPFs? I think that would give him a better opportunity to get games in the AFL side in the coming years.

Have we not learnt anything from Jonas? Undersized key defenders need to be absolutely elite and the window is small for them to be good enough to give away height to monster Key Forwards. Would be better off moulding his game on Houston or Stewart.

Na, he's not got the size. To me he's a poor man's, bulkier Pettigrew.
Personally I think he'd be at high risk of delisting this year and it is rare we delist kids after 2 years.
Will be interesting to see how he closes out the year and see if he can show something that buys him another year.

Agreed, unless he shows a lot more than he did last season with the Maggies McCallum would have to be a chance to be delisted.
The club could hang onto him a bit longer with the possible hope of doing a deal with the Tassie team, but there is no guarantee they would be interested.

Pretty inauspicious start so far but I reckon we've got more than enough retirement and delisting candidates for a team with no first round pick to need to be cutting a guy who was our first pick in the draft only two years ago and who has been slowed by injury. Maybe re-rookie at worst.

Playing further up the ground, McCallum got 16 disposals and 2 goals, probs his best game so far.

He's good overhead, has a bit of pace maybe we could make a wingman of him.
Never understood this pick. He's an in-betweener size wise & they rarely make it unless they're quick. I haven't seen anything yet that excites me. Hope I'm wrong.
I've watched him a bit & never thought he was quick. Could be wrong though.

He's got good speed, certainly not slow, pretty good closing down speed. Accountable. Good overhead. Got a footy brain. He sometimes can kick awkwardly. I liked him being on the wing.

Played a great 3rd term with those 2 goals. Best signs we've seen from him yet. He had a few moments a couple weeks back and now a good 3rd here. There's something to work there with. Just not sure if it's ever going to be AFL level just yet. He might be doing just enough to play himself into a 1 year extension though.
