Details:
Club: Drouin/Gippsland Power
DOB: 5 Feb 1987 Hgt: 182cm Wgt: 74kg
Position: Midfielder
Natural Foot: Right
Honours:
Vic Country U18 2005
Victorian Screening 2005
Statistics:
2004 TAC Cup: 21 games, 3 goals, average 17.5 PPG, 6 times in best
2005 U18 Championships: 3 games, 0 goals, average 12.3 PPG
2005 TAC Cup: 19 games, 24 goals, average 20.5 PPG, 7 times in best
Background:
Vic Country member who played a terrific opening match picking up 20 possessions. He tended to blend in during the remaining two games. Member of Gippsland Power’s Premiership winning side.
Strengths:
- uses the ball well enough by foot
- Hard worker
- Couldn’t have done much more than he has in the past two seasons of TAC Cup.
Weaknesses:
- pace, not quick which he probably needs to be at his height
- decision making
- Born Feb 1987 so an ‘old’ under 18 and measured in at 180cm and 74kg at screening, any room to grow?
Footydraft.com verdict:
With a few queries as mentioned above, I’d prefer to think of him as a rookie list chance, but he could work onto a list with a late pick in the National draft without surprise
