Kane McAuliffe

Not sure why his kicking was questioned as a junior? Seems clean by foot and can roost it too albeit at vfl level.
 
class above , strong, clean, confident. IF he keeps this pattern of growth and development he'll end up being an absolute steal in a weak draft. Bravo!

Betcha he'll debut against the Aints in the Gather Round as his family will be there.

Top 5 talent.

Commanding presence on a football field.

Sat in the same spot a year ago and watched suns v north vfl.

I was equally compelled by george wardlaw that day.

Thats who we have - a bigger george wardlaw

That was some first half. He is a great size for a modern mid. Reminds me a lot of Patty Cripps when he first started. Don’t expect to see him in the vfl much longer.

Ill stick my neck out and say he has an hour of vfl footy left in his life

Gee I hope you’re on the money. Nothing wrong with your judgement

Get him in. And the Sonz too. 17 to half time with some elite use.
I expect we will hear “MacAuliffe to Sonsie” many many times in the future.

Whether by design or coincidence they seem perfect complements to each other.

And the best bit is his duel sided kicking ability.
Turns out of trouble either way and kicks with authority
 
Should have been selected straight off. When Hopper missed it should have been a no brainer.

Suppose we will now have to sit thru the game watching blokes like Ross and Dow giving an impersonation of an inside mid.

A mile above VFL level. I could not understand how he was rated so low pre-draft and was stoked we snagged him at 40. Looks like he will be a long term A grade mid for us.

Dow is probably one *smile* game away from losing his spot to him.

I didn’t watch the game was at local footy.

How was his outside game?

He looked to have a good all round game to me.

Reckon you are spot on with Dow, another disappointing performance where he doesn't really influence the game and he should be gone. I've rarely seen any VFL games where Dow has stood out like McAuliffe did today.
