Leigh Clarke suggested that he was an elite junior high jumper and sprinter who later grew to a 196cms and now has long arms and huge hands. With his awkward kicking style he sounds like big Stewie all over again.
I like the huge hands bit

His kicking action’s a bit clunky & ball drop isn’t great, similar to Higgins.
He seems more smooth kicking on the run.
So the sequence of events here are…

Kid is looking awesome hopefully we can sign him
Carlton don’t
We get him and it’s awesome
Major flaw in gold kicking technique

What a killer
Do you remember Stewie Loewe
I’m not having a dig at the kid… haven’t even seen his highlight package.

It just made me laugh. On Friday it was get this player… what an absolute steal he would be if we pull this off.

Monday it’s we got him but he’s flawed

Full gambit of emotions there - sometimes it’s like we’re not allowed to feel good about anything
The flaw, as you put it, is only a minor thing.
This kid has some serious attributes..clunks pack marks one grab, very capable at ground level, and has good second efforts!

Capable at ground level and second efforts will get the attention of the Boss. Can you see him getting selected ahead of Sharman for R1?

Like I said earlier… I haven’t even seen a highlights reel yet with my excitement and plateauing coming wholly and solely off what you’ve posted.

No cracks at the kid or yourself… I just laughed at the emotional roller coaster ride (exaggerated) this story has been.

Bring on the real stuff as I’m keen to see these guys in action

They’re 2 different players..I honestly think Sharman’s a near certainty for round 1, with Membrey & Owens providing other aerial contests.
If the boss wants an extra tall, Caminiti has to be a consideration, depending on his trial games form.
