Said he was more interested in the weather and 4WD lol.

At risk of triggering people including myself, I can’t help but be reminded of Mr G Hocking, when I see and hear Lucca Grego, kind of narrow shoulders, strong body/arms, angry, head like a half bashed crab, and the Ranga.

I was actually super impressed with Malakai's overall presser and even his response to this question, very well spoken young man who gave some pretty thoughtful answers overall.

He spoke very well but it was a dick move asking a question like that to an 18 year old kid on their first day at their new job

Oh absolutely the journo should uppercut herself. Despite being put massively on the spot he still managed a quality response.

Very little fanfare about this kid predraft, certainly on this board at least and someone I’d not heard of (along with plenty of others). First saw his name on draft day or the day before in an article on who each club was looking at - he was linked to us. Thought he was a the typical name none of us have ever heard of we’d pick and it turned out that way
Surprised we called him out when we did, ahead of Davis for one, but glad we have. Shapes as a really astute pick who fans are going to love
I'm guessing the lady with the questions is Eliza Reily.

Correct - I'm not a huge fan of her work myself but she seems to be making a career of it somehow.
Edit: Apparently incorrect

Ashleigh Nelson is the name you’re looking for - works for CH10 and is an occasional host on ABC
There’s another female asking questions who I think is Anna Hay who works for CH7 and attends most WCE training sessions
Isn't code and The West the same shit?
Perhaps The West just steals her stuff or something as she's always in their FB feed.

You can tell his interview with the recruiters got him drafted.
Really hope he gets a good crack it, I already have little doubt he will not die wondering.

I came on to talk about this. I can see some Woosha in him. We have found our hard nut off the half back line. I reckon he will be a favorite in no time. He is ripped for his age - I wouldn't be getting in his way.

Love this bloke's attitude. One of my favourites already.
Every premiership team needs "glue" players like Grego, Hough, Noah Long etc. Dependable blokes, team-first attitude etc
He's going to shank some kicks out of the backline, but will be loved by the fans.
The way he comes across, saying all the right stuff, and expressing his desire and excitement to play for WCE and be in WA is exactly what we wanted from HR but alas...

Whatever. Footy clubs are made up of different personalities. The jumper tugs, the way he’s played and trained so far, kissing armbands - I’ve had nil issues with Harley’s commitment to the club so far

That's as good as first presser for a draftee that you're likely to see.
Love his determination to get into the side ASAP too. Not all draftees are ambitious enough with that Q about their goals.

Got to love it when MI5, goes deep into the Intel and sets us all straight, with the facts.
I thought John Le Carre died a few years ago, would seem that might be wrong, as he seems to have managed to press the Keys on the Keysboard to deliver the correct Intel.
Good work and as reliable and dependable as ever Keys

I assumed it would be Caitlin Bassett, going by some of her articles this year

In fairness to Ashleigh Nelson she’s usually fairly decent but in those pressers (particularly the ones yesterday) it didn’t sound like there were many journalists there. So she was probably stretching a bit to ask questions so the young guys were at least getting asked something whilst not asking each lad the same questions as the others

Ash Nelson is a good egg. Was a gun hockey player.

This.
I think the main thread was a universal response of "...who?" and then ".. BUT DAVIS?" and yet we've got six pages on the welcome thread about this obscure little redheaded nut. I think we're all going to love this kid. He's already welcome at the Mop household if he ever wants a barbeque.
I hope he takes an obscure number that no one has done well with, too. Properly makes it his own. Number 47, perhaps? A number befitting a hitman, or enforcer as you will.
