QuoteCraig Moller was recruited to the club as an add-on rookie in November after spending three years in the NSW AFL Scholarship program and the eighteen-year-old is hoping to model his game around ruck-man and teammates Aaron Sandilands and Jon Griffin.

He still has a lot of weight to look like an AFL ruckman.He looks skinnier than Zac Clarke did when he started.Good to see that Zac has bulked up a bit as well.
Valk,how has Mellington looked at training so far.I am looking forward to him making a big impression the coming season.

Moller has a lot of weight to put on - he is about the same as Zac Clarke when he arrived.

From what I hear Mellington is busting his gut at training (literally), he threw up after the time trial this morning. He is completing all of the sessions. I think he is competing with Walters for a spot in the team, so its great to see him working his ass off. Walters is working really hard as well.

I am heading down to training on Friday so I will get a first hand view then

Valk I think Mellington may play more as a half forward rather than a pocket player.He looks to me to be a much bigger player than Son Son.
see if you can give us some info on Jessie Chrichton as well Valk.I will be interested to see how he performs this season given he has bulked up quite a bit.He has a point to prove I think.

Mellington is taller than Son Son. Kri$5^ghton (hehehe) is apparently training well but he needs to hope that he gets re-drafted either in the PSD or Rookie draft as he is currently not on our list.

I think the club said they were going to place him on the rookie list.
He looks like he may have bulked up a bit as well.But still got a bloody shocking hair do.

Only looking to put him on the rookie list. That could all change come the actual draft day
