I'm the first to admit I haven’t seen this guy play. But his stats speak for themselves. Averaging 24.7 disposals per game in the TAC cup, and ranked 2 in effective kicks. Quite an achievement considering he has only played 14 games. Played for Vic Country (not sure how he went).
I realise that some of these TAC cup stars will never get drafted because they are too small, but he stands at 180cm and 82kg, so he is no midget. I'd be interested to find out about his draft prospects from anybody in the know.

I don't know what his draft prospects are, but I know a bit about him, having watched Gippsland Power for a few years now and also local league. Youlie is not a flashy player, but is very consistant & acurate, hard at it and very fast over short distances and always seems to step up to challenges. He is a good loose ball getter and a natural leader. But what made me notice him was his dedication to his football and his integrity. I watched his local Under 16 grand final 2 years ago and even though they lost against warragul, he was voted BOG, and was the ONLY player from his team not to walk off the ground during medal presentations to the winners. He is a level headed, mature guy for his age and would be an asset to any AFL team. Didn't get to play much in the championships, but the small amount of game time he had was ok. I'm a fan and would like to see this kid get a chance to improve and prove himself.
anyone else that would like to share their thoughts?
im interested to see what you guys think his draft chances are.
