I dont know much about this bloke except...

He`s got very good foot skills, (something a large percentage of our squad cannot say).

Is he worth a 'look' at?.

Do we need any more half forwards?.

What is the fascination with fringe players that can't make it in a shit to average team???
No thanks...unless the player is an absolute gun, or maybe starved at the dawks, cats, GWS then maybe...
Else, I would rather pick a few kids and try to develop them...

Yeah, but would he have been what he was without the exceptional circumstances??? What chances would he have got with our full squad available???

It they were good enough they would be getting a game.

If you keep picking up bit players you fast turn into what Richmond have become with Grigg, Hunt etc.

Reckon he would be an adequate replacement for Gwilt.
