It does not surprise me that MyKi and Marlion are very close, they both play the same way.
I can't wait to see them hunting in a pack, it'll be like Balmey and Ricky McLean
The Brutal Brothers
"Hopefully (I'll bring) some excitement, and something different and fresh to the fans."New AFL Tiger Mykelti Lefau and Richmond's National Recruiting Manager Matthew Clarke spoke to the media today.

What about me.
Awesome story , seen a few “ special” moments in the magoos from Lefau.
Not sure how our forward half is going to function or be tamed, Balta , Lefau, Kozi, are not exctly blessed with forward footy craft/ nous , Cumberland is a Kamikaze and very unpredictable, Shai and Dustin play there own games .
We could well have a forward half that simply can’t be worked out or it could be like smash up derby’s ….exciting times

Its a midget pinata,
But filled with massive blokes.
Keen to hear more from the VfL watchers.
Where does he play long term?
Is he the first Gigantic, truly terrifying pressure forward?
How quick is he? Spring? Tank? Etc
C'mon fellas, you know who you are*
* naysayers need not apply.
Yes, I bet they are already sharpening their pencils.
I've seen MyKi fold a few players in half in the VFL with perfectly timed tackles. A well timed tackle is just as good as a hip and shoulder, he might be well advised to tackle rather than going the bump.

This rugby league convert once kicked 25 goals in a game. Now he’s a Richmond player
Mykelti Lefau, who was once in the Melbourne Storm pathway, has promised to bring a unique brand of aggression to the AFL after earning a spot on Richmond’s rookie list.
versus The Daicos Brothers.... wonder which set of brothers would turn their toes up?
Haaarrrgh. Right under Smelbourne's nose as a junior then earns himself an AFL opportunity for the Tigers by folding Lever in half during a scratch match.

Just gotta love it.
3 pages back on this thread I posted Lefau's 2017 combine results so in case you missed them:
Running Vertical Leap: 100cm – Mykelti Lefau
20m Sprint: 2.91 seconds – Mykelti Lefau
Beep Test: 14.10 – Mykelti Lefau
As far as VFL goes we've only had 11 games to go by as June last year was his return from an ACL.
Didn't see him dominate as a fwd but last 4 games they moved him into the midfield and had something like 64 possessions and 39 tackles.
Has trained forward the whole pre-season and in his video he said that is where he will start and fine tune his craft.
He also said he is as competitive on the ground as he is in the air and who am i to argue when you look at his athletic capabilities.
As good as his vertical leap is purported to be I haven't witnessed a lot of overhead contested marks but i haven't seen him out marked often either, at least if he doesn't mark you think he will still apply the pressure when the ball hits the ground?
