Past #26: Daniel Nielson - won't be offered a new contract - thanks for your efforts Dan

[The Nostradamus]

haven't seen much of him so hard to judge. Would have thought he would have been available at 36 or even the rookie draft.

and on a sidenote his instagram username is @danielnielson96

I liked his highlights package. Don't know if I am seeing things but seemed to resemble Fyfe a bit with his gangly running action and ability to float into the pack and take a grab. Looks like he has a little bit of pace too.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Looks to have strong hips and keeps his eye on the footy. Should be able to hold his position in a pack. Let's hope he has strong hamstrings and toes.

... I almost tried for a wrestling pun but the urge to punch myself with a brick was too strong.

Very very bloody impressive highlights package. Wow. I hope he can play like that at AFL level. Really like the look of him.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Yeah like this pick...

Kid looks awesome.

Was thinking the same thing to be honest.

Here's his press conference.

 

[Ohhh Errol]

Doesn't mind a grab, disposal looks questionable at times though. For a "lock down defender" he does his fair share of playing on.

Love the signature.

Welcome aboard Brigitte.

Kangaroos4eva I actually forgot I had it til a few seconds ago...was a nice little pick me up.

 

[JZTIME!]

Best thing about the highlights were the amount of them! Involved all the time i likey

 

[TwentyNine]

Don't know a whole lot about this fella but from the sounds of it offers a bit as a talented KPD. Welcome to the club, Daniel!

 

[Pykie]

I think people will be pleasantly surprised come intra-club time when he's playing on someone like Black in defence. He's not very easily moved in the contest and he hasn't seen the inside of a AFL weight room yet.

 

[Ohhh Errol]

neither has Black.

I'm always willing to poach an egg on my face. I wait with bated breath.

Disappointed, toes really wanted utensil. Not that there's anything suss about this in anyway.

Well, we did get Willy.

I couldn't have cared less who we drafted, honestly. I presume those charged with making the selections are good at their job and I hope we develop each selection into the best player their potential suggests they're capable of being.

Totally agree. Long-term l feel good, a medium kpd to support Wright and back him up. A Tom Hawkins clone for the backline and a fyfe type defender who'll push into the midfield eventually, l am happy.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Seems there's a bit of Mitch Wilkins about this guy in that not many knew of him pre-draft.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Well, we did get Willy.

Just as good, who doesn't love Willy, note to self, don't touch Willie (good old simpsons).
