Ht: 182 cm Wt: 81 kg

Junior position – HBF/ Midfield

AFL position – Small Defender/ Midfield

Meredith is a skilled medium sized utility which are a dime a dozen in the TAC competition. He has spent time at Half Back and Ruck Roving during the year and gets a lot of the footy.
Strengths: Meredith is a smooth mover who is usually in the right spots on the footy field. Meredith gets plenty of the footy playing either in the backline or on the ball. He is equally at home playing across half back and on the ball. He looks best suited to the rebounding small defender AFL role if he is to make it.
Weaknesses: Meredith can be a little loose when playing back or on the ball- he could work further on the defensive side of his game. Meredith is inconsistent with his kicking. Can have good and bad days by foot. He doesn’t have anything athletically special about him to separate him from the glut of players his size.

Question marks:

Draft Prediction: 50+/rookie/undrafted
Stats: TAC 2007. Meredith had 130 effective kicks compared to 49 ineffective which is only average. He averages 8 handball receives which shows he gets to contests and is willing to run forward. Only 6 contested marks from 14 games when playing a fair amount of time Half Back is a query on his one on one skills I feel.
