A plea to all the much appreciated amateur spies who write up the great draft profiles on this board.
When a shorter player is profiled, inevitably skills are covered.
However with a big man, it is often overlooked. Usually you'll get an impression of athleticism, marking prowess and maybe presence but a lot of the time you're none the wiser re disposal.
So yeh, thanks in advance if you can enlighten us on this part of a budding KPP's arsenal.

From what i have seen Hansen, Gumbleton, Luenberger(Surprise), and Big Kruezer all kick very well for their size. I was surprised how well Kruezer moved for a guy 200cm he was like a winger. Hawkins kicks alright aswell hit the post alot.

We already have two big blokes that can kick in Hale and McIntosh.

Well yes but like most of the folk on the draft board I like to track the progress of players into AFL regardless of what club they end up at.
And specifically to us, we still need to bring on some genuine KPPs (ie not part-timers) and after someone like Petrie I'm just more interested in what the player can do with the ball when he gets it.
