It would be nice if he followed in his father's and grandfather's footsteps but it will take a lot of hard work and a bit of luck.
I would have like to have seen us squeeze him in as a rookie to create that heritage scenario but you cant pick them all and we had Cincotta and Leiu in line too, so two promising players had to miss out. Would have liked to have seen him at VFL level though so that surprises me a bit he isnt doing his developing there to give himself more opportunity to be noticed...not sure if that was his choice or lack of interest from the VFL team viewpoint.

We do have an abundance of KPPs in the VFL squad and I suspect that they're all ahead of young Dane in terms of physical development at least.  Of course, he may continue to train with the VFL squad during the season.

Sometimes the hard road is a truckload of work with a 2% chance of a payoff and while it’s fun to get a kick there’s more to life and you can still get a kick and hang out with the boys at Heidelberg.
Let’s go BIG !

Fair point, I guess everyone assumes AFL footy would be his main goal in life given his family history but maybe that's not the case and he has other interests..

Like the look of Lemmey......
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Happy with the work of Curly's Boy in picking him up? It certainly appears he knows what he's doing.

O’Keeffe looked very comfortable and confident and Binns showed a bit of class.

Of the VFL boys, I thought Brereton was good and I don’t know why Cahill isn’t on an AFL list.

Agree...Thought Okeefe, Lemmey and the ex Essendon kid Cahill showed something and the latter is a polished player with skills on both sides and has some composure. Think the VFL team will improve with the new additions, extra height, and Cahill is one to watch going forward.
Noticed Jason Castagna has just retired suddenly from Richmond citing lack of motivation, be interested to see where that goes and if he has a change of mind down the track.
Tigers are quietly annoyed missing the SPP cut off as they cant replace him till the mid season and its been suggested they would have taken ex Cat Quinton Narkle who will play with the Bombers VFL team....
