Now i know this guy aint that tall but from what i saw in the championships (in the best twice) he'd still be a shot at being drafted. Also, the VM coach said hed be worth a look in the age today.
What do you guys reckon after his efforts for VM, will he be drafted?

Appeared to be the quickest footballer I saw across the week.
I found him very impressive.
175cm isn't massively short.
Form dependent, he'd be a great chance to be drafted, but with talent surrounding him, he may not go until 3rd-4th round.
Surely someone would entertain him.

looked good against vic c. certainly has pace to burn, showed a bit more hardness around the packs, got a fair bit of it also. conditions made it a bit hard to judge quality of disposal but he didnt seem too bad. reckon he could be worth a look. theres a few teams out there who could use a bloke with his kind of pace.

You'll probably find Clinton Benjamin to be the fastest over 100m

He has pace to burn and his skills have improved to a level good enough for AFL, is a definite chance to go in the draft and had a very good carnival, was probably a little stiff not to get AA, his game against a lightning quick WA side was exceptional where he dodged and borked the likes of Collard and Jetta at times. Altough Benjamin may be the quickest over 100m Anderson uses his pace a lot in games and his defensive skills are also very good, similar defensive pressure to Aaron Davey.

Yeah that was what i thought. After the success of the likes of Aaron Davey i would be surprised if no one was willing to give this guy a chance. In this draft though i would imagine 3rd round at the earliest.
An exciting prospect.....fast players are great to watch.

And at what point did Clint Benjamin show any of his 'timed speed' over the last week.
I stand by my comment that he appeared the quickest footballer over the week.
he may be the quickest but definetly over-rated... as dicko quoted in the age "should look out for him" ....i disagree
hes an underage sprint champion in the state
