“Kyle is quite a unique player having not played too many games of AFL but he displays all of the attributes we’re looking for in a ruckman – he’s tall, a good size with a great reach and he’s deceptively agile. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find players who are capable of playing AFL footy in the ruck but with his height and size we think Kyle is certainly worth a punt. Kyle’s a raw talent but we certainly like what we saw of him while he was playing for the RAMS and the Bushrangers this year and we think he’ll be a great addition to the team alongside our developing talls.”
