Unsure. Bevo said in his weekly presser though that he will likely play VFL in 3 weeks. Can’t play this week and we have a bye next week.

He was eligible for Cat-B because he hasn’t been registered with a club for at least the last 3yrs

Impressive debut in the VFL yesterday, he can definitely clunk a good mark.

Looks like a player to me. He reminds me of lewis young but a better kick and a more assertive.
Only real negative is that he looks a bit lost when the ball hits the ground which will get better with time and once he learns the structures.
Plenty to work with.

How tall is he? I didn’t realise he was genuine key defender height. I assumed he was an Easton Wood type.

Built like an absolute unit too, exciting prospect
I always keep a lid on things and never get ahead of myself but will O’Donnell be the first Category B rookie to win the Brownlow?

Might even do it this year.
Can this poster's Bigfooty account be suspended immediately, and psychological help sought, clearly delusional, nobody's better than Bont.
The real unknown is what upside and rate of improvement does he have having not played for so long. Certainly showing more than Charlie Parker did returning to AFL.

It’s just a weird concept really, bring a bloke who you’ve never ever seen play a game before down to training, I guess run him through some athleticism tests and some skill drills and then decide yep let’s put him on an AFL list

Happens with international recruits too.
Hopefully happens with Mitchell Croft in a couple of years when he realises he’s wasting his time playing volleyball while his twin brother is making close to 6-figures on a base AFL salary.

Hopefully we are picking up this type of player every year with a late draft pick or rookie pick. Swing for the fences with minimal cost.

What sort of pay scale are Cat b rookies on compared with your minimum $$ listed player?

$100 a week plus all the Pedigree tucker you can eat (in a Mission wrap of course).

Minimum rookie wage is about 87k.
I think there are also match bonuses but these might only be for AFL appearances?

We should probably sponsor James then. Get his wages up

Many years ago some folks on big footy used to chip in $50 to sponsor players. Got a nice little badge on our profile picture for it too
