How’s his kicking? I’m always concerned with big bodied junior players and how that translates in an AFL environment. They just don’t have the size dominance in the AFL. He needs to have something more than good stats at junior level to make it.

I think his size will translate - pretty sure he stands around 194cm now, which is taller than Dunn and Checkers, and will likely weigh in above 86kgs after a full pre-season. He's also shown an ability to play both in defence and the forward line when needed (the midfield is his best spot though), and is a good mark of the footy. From what I've seen his good play isn't based on pure physical dominance.

If you're recruiting an inside mid, give a big bodied kid who can push his peers around over a skinny kid who can't push the average under 18s kid around.

194cm is something to salivate over, he was good forward craft also, he is going to be exciting that's for sure
 
Should be a sixth round pick up, can’t hear, one leg, overweight, seagull when plays forward, only eats lollipops, who in there right mind would pick him
 
Mentioned in the 2020 draft thread that his highlights reminded me a bit of Trey Ruscoe.

Tallish utility, with broad shoulders who has a bit of a stoop when he runs. A weird comparison I know but it was first thing that came to my mind when I watched his clip on AFL site.

I know that I should know this but why is Reef tied to us as an NGA anyway?

Indigenous academy and as part of our zone I think.

He said he modelled his game on Trey Ruscoe ever since he was a kid.

194cm is heresay. He’s still listed everywhere at 192-3cm.

He’s indigenous. Same as JUH with the dogs.

Well if he doesn't reach 194 then I say we pass on him.

Why would we want a midfielder that’s not at least key position height? I’d say that it’s a no brainer to pass if he’s not that tall yet.

So are you saying you'd pass on a player because of 1 or 2 cm despite probably liking his skill set?

Its ok TD, just having a bit of fun.

Wait until we start on Nick Daicos...

Why would we want to talk about that good-for-nothing layabout?

Mother is from overseas. Not sure what part of multicultural he stems from, but he qualifies and was in our zone (oakleigh chargers)

Yes, definitely. Imagine if Josh Daicos was a cm shorter. Ugh, delist.
