What kind of errors are you seeing? Cause I must be missing them completely.
I just watched his draft machine video again and literally didn't see a single mistake.

- 5 seconds, drop mark and an easy one
- 30 seconds, handballs to no one
- 2:26 just kicks to open space - get caught doing that in the AFL and your history.
- 4:32 drops a mark, was good to get the second effort going though but keep in mind its against 18 year olds.
- 4:55 runs into an open goal probably 25 metres out and misses. Imagine that in a crucial game
- 5:50 drops a sitter off his chest
- 8:17 was very soft and honestly would be disgusted if this happened in a real game. reminds me a lot of Oakley-nicholls
- 8:31 drops the ball, was way too slow, especially for someone who is labelled as quick. (doesn't look flashy)
- 8:46 even though he got the free kick I think he was very lucky and most of the time will be holding the ball.
- 9:12 Handball cut off, poor awareness
- 9:18 doesn't get the kick away. will give him this one though because he's still young but in the AFL will be demolished
- 9:54 turns the ball over
- 10:04 hospital handball causing the turnover
- 10:44 kicks the ball out on the full, a pretty bad one
- 10:55 handballs to someones feet
- 11:28 kicks across back to goal and a poor one that his team mate couldn't even get the ball. This doesn't seem that bad in an under18's type match but if it ever happened in the AFL he would be dropped and probably for a while considering i've seen a lot of other bad traits.
- 12:29 he's 25 metres out DIRECTLY in front and missed. Just not good enough especially for a forward.
- 12:50 verrrrry casual kick putting his team mate under extreme pressure.
pretty much everything else he does is a standard uncontested mark and kick..that would seem right for a 2nd or 3rd rounder. I'm not against you, I'm just stating the facts. I've had a good record with predicting who will become good out of the draft. Not once in his highlight reel he showed his 'elite' speed and weave through traffic. I don't think he's that kind of player and if he's NOT, he simply shouldn't be a pick 12, I'm sorry. I dont see anything flashy like a Wingard/Cyril/Burgoyne's/Garlett. Maybe he gets away from players and has runs, but I would find it odd that is wasn't in his 'Highlight' reel.
Who knows..maybe in a few years like 4-6 he will become a valuable asset. it might be too late for us then. I will support him just like I did with Conca, but hoping we really make the right decision on this.
Go tigers!
