The inside word Super-competitive medium defender who has also played a significant amount of footy through the midfield. He has an excellent mix of speed and endurance and thrives when challenged. A very team-oriented player who can bring other players into the game through his use of the ball, particularly by hand.

 

[Sneeky]

We are stacking these small defenders now

 

[x_les_x]

I guess this is our "who's that?" pick. He has an excellent mix of speed and endurance and thrives when challenged Of course

 

[PatientMental]

Kenny is certainly building us from defence.

 

[RossFC]

Another small defender. It is clear what Kenny wants.

Probably got sick of us getting shredded by the Ballentines, Walters', Chapmans, Betts', + other smalls of the comp.

 

[Adz2332]

Battersby was there... cant believe this pick at all.
How many more short people do we need?

Didnt pick a tall instead took gray as a charity pick... terrible draft!

We are obviously planning on quadruple teaming them.

Averaged 12 touches in the TAC Cup and we overlook the guy racking up 20+ in the SANFL

this this this!!!!

would love to hear the explanation behind this!

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Who cares, rookie pick.

 

[Powerade 08]

Waste.

 

[Spadge]

yep with all the quality around we went for another small defender... awesome

so whats that.... Impey, Byrne-Jones and now Russell for all small defenders from this draft

strange

 

[bringbackbucky]

Been playing 1st 18 since he was in year 9. Fair effort.

 

[PAFC_1870]

this this this!!!!

would love to hear the explanation behind this!

Since when does an avg possession count mean anything?

So you'd take 35 Brad Ebert Touches or 20 Wingard Touches?

 

[Asgardian]

Did not expect this.

 

[n4nirvana]

Congrats to Sam for getting an opportunity at AFL level

*will vent in rookie draft thread though

 

[Schulzenfest]

Every one of our draftees this year is either below 180cm or above 195cm.

Don't see the logic in picking ANOTHER half back flanker, and even if I did I don't see the logic of picking this bloke over Battersby or even Frazer Dale. Oh well, good luck to him.

Lots of Sam Russell experts around here, I personally don't know much about him yet but time will tell I spose.
