I like him as a player however will look with interest upon the careers of Taylor and Dumont as I rated both significantly higher and we could have had either had we not lubed up for brissie. In saying that my kindest welcome to Malcolm and here's hoping he has a ripper of a career with us.

More importantly, he looked to have a good core, reasonably good acceleration. The core is important because being small he's going to need it.
Same for me. But now I'm liking it after watching footage
Had a look at him pre draft and he sounded like the 3rd > 5th best small from SA. A skilful utility and a good choice for a substitute as he can play on any line and would impact late in the game when others are tiring.
Goal kicking smaller mid with skill. Hopefully he's got the work ethic.

You've echoed my thoughts there, something eerily Kerr-like about the way he moves. Obviously remains to be seen if this converts to league football, but interesting to note nonetheless.
I like the selection, on paper he sounds exactly what this team needs, hope he gets his chance somewhere down the line

Unless his name was mick, and he made us sick, then we gave him the flick, for being such a dick
Did not test. Might have been a good think because i would assume he would have tested pretty well and he may have gone a tad earlier.

Reminds me of Jamie Bennell. Maybe that's because they look alike but small, pacey, agile... Bennell was like that as a junior.
1cm taller than Dion prestisa....size shouldnt matter and if he is used right could be quite the steal.
Reminds me of Steven Motlop
Let's hope he can evolve like one
Yea but kerr is exceptionally strong for his size which allowed him to play that midfield role. Even still Kerr has taken a beating and as a result we have missed a lot of good footy from him. And when Kerr started his career the size of mids in general was smaller than it is now. I think Karpeny's size restricts him to an outside mid.
Also Kerr had very good vision, evasiveness and a turn of pace. I'm not saying that Karpeny doesn't have these though, hope he does!
Congratulations on your continued affiliation with the Eagles Mal Capone, we expect great things.

I'm not really a fan of highlights packages but he looked quick and has a nice sidestep. He looked a good disposer but they're hardly going to show his shockers on a highlights package.
I agree with those that say he moves like a young Daniel Kerr - it's really noticeable.
He looks an exciting prospect.
