Reminds me a bit of Caleb Daniel. Maybe it's just the inside out kicking.

If Lachie Neale and Alistair Clarkson had a love child it would look like Partington.

This Partington vs Cunningham debate is stupid as Cunningham was gone 5 picks before we picked.
Our recruiters especially in recent times have drafted what people think is the safe pick when it comes to non KPPs .
I think we have drafted more on exposed form rather than players with potential that haven't done much consistently .
So no draft bolters but plenty of sliders that in the future people will say ' how did he slip that far .
Personally I really like the Partington pick . He has a nice mix of pace , endurance , wins his own ball , spreads well from a contest and easily finds the ball on the outside . His kicking inconsistency issues will be ironed out with the training of our gameplan .
He also has the bonus of coming from outside of a city and has lived away from home for years already at boarding school .

Think you need a ninja edit
Duggington will be the new Sheptingham.
Good pick , hopefully push for games in 2016 .
Interestingly Simmo and Ian Miller are travelling seven hours by car to meet Luke's family today or tomorrow at their property , with the draftees moving over to Perth on the weekend .....training next week .
Great opportunity for the four draftees .

They should just rent a helicopter.
Partington is a classier player than Lachie Neale just quietly.
A bloke who's getting the best out of himself, could just about say overachieving but that's just my view don't like the Docks much.
Was talking about looks - though hoping he becomes half as good as Neale - gun.
Would be stoked if he was as good as Neale. Neale is very underrated.
Reminds me a bit of Braun, or at least what Braun was to our midfield back then is what Neale is to Fremantle now.
I am not against Vozzo at all, contrary to some I think he has done a pretty good job.
But Rohan O'brien is the recruiting manager, and they have a 12? person team from memory just for recruiting. They also have a couple people on the recruitment team who live in Victoria full time. Vozzo would definitely have a say, but i reckon O'brien would have the last word.
braun was an outside mid tho and neale is an extractor.
His handball and bouncing looks incredibly awkward and ineffective.
Needs to watch tapes of Sam Mitchell and Daniel Kerr on repeat.
Vozzo's in charge of trades and lists mate. Rohan O'B is The Draft Man!
Yeah some of his handballs are shite. I reckon it wouldn't be hard to fix though
So, what the nickname? Phartingtonne?! Too easy?
Maybe Greg Chappel or Jaques Kallis or Aravinda De Silva or Mohammed Azharuddin? All blokes who scored a parting ton to finish their test careers.
