Welcome Matt. Work and run hard. Love the jumper.
Welcome Matty, work hard and I'll look forward to watching a lefty coming out of defence for many years.
Good on you Matt ..make the most of it young man.

Decent pick for a rookie. Seems to be a very conscientious and smart defender as in, he knows where to run and provide support.
I haven't seen anything to suggest he takes the game on from back there. Just finds the next option in the chain with no fuss.
I feel like he will be an efficient lock down small defender and as it stands we only have Cincotta playing that role although that wasn't his gig previously, Williams can lock down and go the other way and Boyd much the same.

THE PERFECT early 18th birthday present
Wirey, good runner, generally looks up before finding a target
Will need to speed up his decision making to progress to the next level

This boy reminds me of Grant Birchall. Lovely left peg
Obviously the highlights will show only his best, but he looks to have a very nice kick on him.

Six day's shy of his 18th birthday, Matt has a lot of upside. Currently 188cm's, could end up 192. Medium sized defender, could be ready to take Newmans role in a couple of years. Nice left peg and can just develop in the VFL for a couple of seasons. Will take that long to have the body to contest at AFL level, no need to rush him. Happy with this pick also.
Gets some unfortunate action face pics taken. Maybe #35 in memory of Ed..
Good onya Matt. Besides Matt and his family and our recruiters, i reckon the happiest man in the AFL right now will be Nic Newman. While having a breakout year himself onfield, he seems like a born assistant coach/developer in the making. He seems to love that side of the job, and i reckon Carroll looks like the ideal man for him to take under his wing. Not overly flashy Nic, but has all the intangibles to pass onto a mid defender like Matt. Plenty of smarts and game knowledge.
Nice rookie pick. Looking forward to seeing a player emerge who can get jobs/roles done and become a player.

Austin doesn’t budge on his recruits having to tick boxes for size, skill and speed very often. The ones that do make it won’t have any glaring flaws exposed by their opponents.
Go well Matt.
