Strengths: Knights is a medium sized midfielder with a great ability to win the football all day long. He is a real ball magnet at TAC Cup level, and has very clean hands. He can win the stoppages but also play on a wing.

Likes to kick a goal, and is quite often very creative with his disposal. Thinks his way through situations well and is a very good finisher, rarely a game goes by where he doesn’t kick a goal or two. Can break a game open with his goals and hard work.

Weaknesses: I have a slight concern over his kicking, tends to kick a lot of floaters. Although he does use his right foot the results can be mixed. Perhaps hasn’t come on as expected this year.

Footydraft.com comment: I expected big things from Chris at the start of the season, but he hasn't quite made the impression I thought he would. Struggled to have an impact at the carnival, and that could really harm his drafting chances. However, I think he is too good a player to be overlooked and could provide value later in the draft.
