I know a certain exercise that’s good for strengthening wrists

Yeah and as a teenage boy he should already have performed that exercise enough to have strong wrist. Screams someone who doesn’t put in the work off field ;)

This was NHH's first game back after an extended break with a shoulder injury and he put together a strong performance through three quarters before fading out in the fourth, clearly short of full match fitness. He played exclusively forward, and mostly out of the goal square as a marking target with only a couple of ventures outside of the 50. He kicked 4 goals through three quarters and looked lively whenever the footy was in his area, helping his team to a comfortable lead which they held all game.

 
Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves returned yesterday with 13 disposals and 4 goals.

Still want to see a more inside game from him this year but he offers a lot of what we need too on the outside.

Need to see midfield craft and performances or he wouldn't even come into my calculations for one of our picks.

NHH probably had a worse bottom age year than Zane Duursma as a forward and look how that's turned out so far.

Yes and the shoulder injury probably prevents us from seeing him in that role.

Thrillem continues to put up big numbers and influence games for his Gippsland Power team. Here we again saw issues with his disposal effectiveness at times, but its one of very few weaknesses in his game. His combination of size, speed and reaction times around congestion allows him to swoop on loose balls rapidly or close space quickly to apply pressure. With his team trailing entering the fourth quarter Willem lifted and was a significant factor in helping the power surge to victory.



He offers a lot of what we need in a mid. The burst, athleticism and ability to scoop up those loose ball gets around the contest our other mids probably don't have the pace to get to. Has nice hands and the height and marking is a nice bonus.

Geez the kicking though. His action doesn't look that bad, I think a lot of it is poor decision making. Blasts it on to the boot and rushes his disposal a lot. Good to see he's racking up the ball and kicking some goals. Production is a tick so far.

Let’s hope we pick him and the grill
Or WCE will draft Duursma to keep Harley there. But if not Richmond will trade both 2&3 to WCE for Harley.
Then wce end up with CDT, Duursma, Greeves and someone else
 
To me Duursma’s longer kicking is the issue, seems to not identify targets and kicks to space or just blasts (shanks). His shorter kicking both with and without pressure looks better. Also seems to think he is Steele Sidebottom on the left when it’s not good.

Everything else is exciting. Size, speed, marking and very clean in the clinches, excellent at the release handball.

The blasting is very prevalent when kicking for goal. Was one last week where the camera didn't follow him and he somehow kicked out on the full, would have loved to see how he managed that.
 
If his last name wasn't Duursma we'd all want him at number one let's be honest.
