His strengths are reading the play in the air, agile and has a good fitness base.
Speed and kicking average. Good build at 189cm
Also did a number on Miers ( was picked up by Geelong late in the draft )
Supposedly very dedicated to getting the best out of himself.

Good game awareness, seemingly neat enough kick and can take a grab. Could do worse. Welcome

Good luck to the kid but, seriously, how many mid sized HBF do we frigging need?

I'd love to have half as many spare KPP.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

dunno, I think this guy plays on the small forwards in the back line with the capacity to play tall. I was interested in the comments o his tank. seems like he could also be used as a run with lockdown player. Might be the Greenwood understudy.

Sounds like he could be handy we need another pacy backman.

I noticed Appleby in the VFL game vs North Ballarat early this year. He was their only effective backman in a 80+ point win for the VFL Pies, and kept Kayle goalless. Could be a great pickup!

Likened to Toovey in his shut down ability and versatility. Better kick.
