Acres is a good prospect C4...bit risky but if it pays off, very nice!Sells poisoned milk to school kids.
Nah, nothing wrong with him at all - in fact, you've inspired me to re-watch his highlights package.

Remember Sin City having some concerns over his defensive work but his attacking attributes could push him close to our pick. Personally have him around Geelong's pick as they would back their development.I dont deny that he's a good prospect - but seems very high risk, high reward.
Not saying thats a bad thing. I'd be happy with him and a bunch of others at #13.
I wasnt suggesting a backmans highlights package would be bad just that in most cases compared to a decent forward they arent quite as impressive.
Looks a player, but at 192 you'd think hed be a 3rd tall?

Would also like to know what Sin thinks of Dumont, who to me looks like a polished version of Acres.
Can't say I agree with Quigley on Lennon at all.
You can't argue with his actual times and measures at the Combine though.
They look very poor.
Was he got at to tank by the Club he barracks for?
Brett Anderson's Phantom Draft from Inside Football. Based on what he has heard.
13 - Freeman
Does Lennon have more scope as a midfielder than Menzel?Depends on how far you look into them I guess. Had a pretty bad ankle injury during the year which is why he played as a third tall forward in the champs rather than midfield where he had been playing so well for the Knights and is a big part of the reason his aerobic fitness was down.
Small hands and short arms from his testing. OK then, but he's also shown that he's a 189cm midfielder with aggression that is IMO the best kick in the draft and can bomb goals from 60m out and also proved in the national champs that he can hold his own as a forward.

Sad thing for him is he's so close to us yet Richmond seems very keen.He is a midfielder and always has been, except for when his ankle looks like this:
But people who only watched him in the national champs think he's a forward only without knowing all the info.
Would say Acres is probably more polished but I do like Dumont. Doesn't stand out at any one thing but doesn't have a weakness either and has performed very well in the midfield at senior SANFL level and that's a league that I have a lot of respect for.
Imagine Bruce commentating Freeman as he runs down the wing of the G.
Judd's a 188 cm beast compared to Freeman.
Freeman's speed and play reminds me of Murphy, Yarran and Shuey. Sweeps past to receive and accelerates to deliver the ball on the run. Doesn't appear to be an iffy kick like Crouch and Zak Jones. Would be happy for Carlton to take another quick mid with skill.
