#5 Xavier O’Neill

The smart midfielder had his moments throughout the afternoon, spending time at the stoppages and finding the ball on the offensive side of the contests. He generally used the ball well, but had times when he could have made better decisions going forward. He did create some fast links though, including a long handball through the corridor in the third quarter and a brilliantly won ground clearance in the final term when Oakleigh were fighting back into contention. He finished with 17 disposals and five tackles in what was a solid outing for the Chargers.

Highlights on the AFL Draft Machine look decent. Reminds me a bit of Zach Merrett.

I would take that, Zach Merrett is a gun.
 
Joint first in kickin test.

Yessss. He’s an elite kick. That means he can play half back flank if he doesn’t accumulate in the mid. Like Duggan

I like how we are drafting elite kicks.
This - kicks are faster than anyone can run.

Can see why the Eagles liked this fella, doesn't look like he has any weaknesses, quick, agile, good tackler and uses the footy well.
 
Nice kick off both sides which probably explains our interest in him

Good luck to the lad, hope he does well
