Big, aggressive tall forward playing for West Coast. Quoted on Foxtel pick 27. Might have been the type of player we need?

Yeah with all his off-field indiscretions before he was even drafted. Just the type the Saints need at the moment with their current off-field reputation in tatters.

Was initially thought to go in a top 10 pick until his many run ins with the law here in the West (even when on a school camp the zozzers were bought into investigate sexual harrassement claim against him) most clubs wisely shook their head, even tho they new he had talent to burn. I think he also injured himself in some fracus which helped him slip down the recruiting picks as he wasn't able to to some of the draft tests.

Seems the Weagles have him on a very tight leash, night curfews and not to go local nightclubs, or so I'm informed. S'posed to have a court case coming up some time this year.

Let Eagles take the gamble on if he will turn out a train wreck or not in the future. After Lovett and our other probs. We had to play it safe and gamble on a nice tame Gamble and not try and turn a naughty boy into a 'darling' :wink: :wink:

Pity cos he can play footy :(
