Player Watch #26 Zane Peucker

[THE_GUN]

I like that last point “drive his legs out of tackles”
Looking at the images posted on our website, he’s going to be a tough man to stick a tackle. That speed/ core strength combo is a bit different to your prototype AFL recruit.

And only 17 years old

 

[Toadvine]

If he's last name was Phillipou I'm sure every campaigner would have been gushing over his highlights pre draft.

Watching his games now he clearly stands out as the better of the two statistically and from a skills perspective for WWT in the U18.

And he's not a massive w***er.

 

[Grrr]

What I like about him is that he is strongly build, especially the legs, so will be a power unit in a couple of years. Add the pace element and that he seems very clean below his knees and we have a bit of a Papley type close to goals, and a Nick Daffey type further up the ground, which we do not have.

 

[Toadvine]

Funny that Rhy said his Dad and player manager were doing everything they could to get him picked up by Richmond.

Letting them know which clubs were the most keen and where they expected him to be picked.

More a Chapman type if we are lucky

Richmond needs a quality small forward and realized Zane would have a better opportunity there than anywhere else.

Swans ranked Phillipou as a 1st rounder. Couldn’t believe he slipped though.

Rhy got hood winked. We should have drafted Jevan.

His player manager is Brett Deledio, who clearly still has Tiger blood in his veins

Still got the likes of Lalor and Campbell to go through there as well, definitely going to be an exciting group

Deledio is manager of Robert’s Thompson

 

[prodigy]

I seem to remember you wanting him in the rookie draft in a thread prior to it as the player you believed to be best available and had potential.

2 x premiership player 200 games
you did well

Lol I'll take it even if I don't remember it lol

Can see Cumming/Hotton & Lalor rotating thru the mid.
Jasper & Peuker have run through the midfield at times as well.
Campbell maybe develop him to a wingman.
Plenty of options opening up.

Very lucky (setting the bar quite high JL)

 

[Groupie_]

feels like a matty mcdonuts type selection

Bloke woulda been a star but Dimma held him back the dawg

 

[Coach_Required]

Being 17, there's still a small chance he might grow a couple of cms.

Wonder if the club can x-ray his growth plates.

Is he the guy who is almost a year older and already an elite athlete but somehow averaged less touches and goals per game at u18 level?

If it wasn't for Privacy Laws - I could see this being part of the Draft Combine - it basicaly tells you how tall that person will be - which is very useful data when recruiting.

If I was a potenital AFL recruit - I'd be getting an xray done ready to go and use this as a selling point

Have no idea why that would be in the privacy laws
Surely every kid would want to know that information and a signed waver allows that
