Nick Becker

Details:
Club: Strathmore/Calder
DOB: 7 July 1986 Hgt: 186cm Wgt: 78kg
Position: Wing
Natural Foot: Left

Honours:
Victoria Metro 2004 (Emergency)
National Draft Camp 2004

TAC Stats:
2003: 10 games, 11 goals, 12.3 PPG
2004: 19 games, 16 goals, 20.8 PPG

Strengths: Becker is a wingman with a raking left foot and reasonable pace. He has a laconic kicking style that looks awkward but is usually very effective. He is adept at finding the ball in space, running a few yards then nailing a target.

He is also a good tackler, good overhead for his size and agile. Had a tremendous season in the TAC Cup, capped with 26 possessions in the Grand Final.

Weaknesses: Can take a bit too long to dispose of the footy at times, and can be a bit too cute by going inboard rather than kicking long. Can be unaccountable on direct opponent.

Footydraft.com comment: I'm quite a fan of this guy. Gets a lot of possessions and could develop into an AFL outside midfielder in time. Definite value later in the draft.
