North Adelaide ruckman / forward Matthew McKenzie has signed with the Falcons. 199 cm. Brock Carter did a very serious knee injury, he was a terrific bloke and i hope he mends well. He may go back to basketball.

Fitzroy Stars.

 

Regarding the recruits McKenzie has good size about him but doesn’t look like he’s terribly experienced making his SANFL debut in 2023.He turns 26 on November 4th.Certainly would be earmarked for that backup forward with Keitel and a chop out in the ruck.With Sprigg coming along nicely we will have some size around the ground.Seems like he may be a late developer so here’s to hoping.Steele looks ready to go.Great physique and from what I’ve read knows where the scoreboard is and is good at forward pressure acts.Waight seems to have had a great 2023 with B and F and team of the year selection but can’t see much of him in 2024.Looks wiry for a CHB but then again Ken Hunter was wiry.Not putting him in that league but if he turns out even half as good we will have a good one there.Early days for sure but some promise in the recruiting so far.Hopefully some more good news to come.

Feds, he played 19 league games for West Adelaide at the age of 25. I was told he is better than Carter.. We have to wait and see.
