Welcome Will Verrall - pick #14 2022 Rookie Draft

[Dory_77]

Development ruck from SA, considered athletic and mobile for his size, but needs to build a tank.
Height: 2m
Weight: 92kg
Highlights:

 

[jhong]

Looks a prospect . Happy with this one . Hope he hangs around .

 

[saulgoodman22]

Looks likely, hopefully another recruiting masterpiece by us

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Has a great spring! His kicking style is interesting but looks to be effective around goals. Him and Farris-White developing together can hopefully form a good duo at Casey.

 

[Demon 16]

Goodness we went very big with the few picks we had, especially considering Cat B rookie Kyah F-W and Grundy.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Melbourne has its Anchorman.

 

[Bluelegs]

Has a great spring! His kicking style is interesting but looks to be effective around goals. Him and Farris-White developing together can hopefully form a good duo at Casey.

I know it's highlights but his short range passes seem pretty clean. Not something a lot of blokes his size can do consistently.

If this kid had the headline Top 10 prospect and watched his highlights, you would think it's true

Mind boggling how some blokes get massive wraps and some don't for nearly identical highlight packages

Ground level he is just as good as what Jackson was coming through

 

[pjfairbairn]

How many ruckmen were drafted ahead of him, in the National and the Rookie?

Lol what. He didn't show any physical athleticism at all which us a huge part of draft upside

STRENGTHS:

• Contested work
• Mobility
• Overhead marking
• Upside
• Vertical leap

 

[Bluelegs]

I would write upside next to every draftee to pad out their profiles.

The actual draft watchers don't base their analysis off 2 minute highlight packages, they'll have seen him actually play.

 

[danster168]

vertical leap looks good to me.

Jumping over Pick #23 Barnett

yep, definitely. you could tell from Jason taylors interview that he was quite confident that Varrell would succeed.
