Players regularly put up impressive numbers against the NT Academy side, but in this case it's a continuation of what we've been seeing from Tom Burton all season who's averaging 33 disposals per game in the Talent League and also solid for the AFL Academy.

Burton lacks the size that clubs tend to prefer with their midfield recruits, but he has a dash of pace, and the agility to navigate traffic and get inside to out for damaging disposals. This game in the Darwin heat showed Tom's elite endurance and gut running at their best, able to get from contest to contest all over the ground and a few times showing repeated efforts to pop up multiple times in possession chains down the ground.


Wowee. This was impressive, I'd pigeon-holed him as a hbf 😬

Like this kid.
 
Shafted? Our zone can't get worse lol
Been pretty barren, but as usual as soon as we look like benefiting from the talent coming through, they'll hand it to North or Tassie or they'll discover some ancient fooking link to Collingwood that sees then inherit it.

Tom Burton a very very impressive performance and if he continues to show these attributes in the nationals will be hard to resist, I for one will keep a close eye on his development as the season develops.

Willem Duursma would have to be right in the mix for Tigers pick.

He would give us something we just don’t have in our group yet. He’s got elite versatility, strong in the air and an elite ball user.

If we come out of this draft with Duursma + either Rodriguez, Grlj or Sharp I think we will be laughing.
 
The weather got a bit wild up in Brisbane with heavy wind, a bit of rain, and even some thunder and lightning in the fourth quarter. Lachy was buzzing around all game, clean at ground level and doing some creative things with the footy. He had a bit more of a chance up the ground and through the middle and was productive with those opportunities which might suggest more midfield time as the season progresses. He kicked a couple of goals, but was a bit wayward in the windy conditions and his and his teammates missed opportunities cost Eastern in a close loss.


Just not spending a first or second round pick on a small forward.

You have Raso running around at VFL level performing, we’ve got Seth Campbell out of a rookie draft.

Struggling to see this. Torches it a bit.

Nick Watson?

Dovaston would be ok if we still had our other picks. Not for us given what we hold.

Duursma is a quality user. Can be used off half back like a Whitfield or move him the through the middle and above 190cm he would be very handy.

Nick Watson what?
