Genuinely no idea who either draft pick was, but Dion reminded me of Peter Vardy in the highlights. Looks to be a beautiful kick for a goal and seems to play tall for a "small" forward. Love that tackle at the end.

Yes! DJ has arrived (well maybe with a few years under his belt)
Im confident the dees can pick up kids these days and wont be pumping out Morton, Bail, Gysberts, Valenti ect.

Bail an Valenti were rookies bit rough to bus them

Perhaps he meant Blease, Tapscott and Cook.

Just watched the DJ highlights. Has some good attributes. Typically someone who competes well will only get drafted by us. Love that last tackle.

He can teach our forwards what defensive pressure is.

First thing I noticed was his goalkicking technique, reminds me of Weideman.

I like the look of him and a smaller proppy forward is on the list of things we need in 3 years time post Garlett. *hopfukky Garlett plays into his thirties*

A good pressure forward who loves to tackle, Dion Johnstone kicked 21 goals from 10 TAC Cup games throughout the season. His competitiveness at Demons training has been impressive already, so expect a senior debut in 2017.

Interesting that this article reckons Johnstone is the most likely draftee to feature in 2017. If he applies strong defensive pressure in the forward 50 I can definitely see it happening.

The rest of the article actually concludes that Smith is the most likely draftee to feature, to be fair...

EDIT: it was the afl.com.au that said Smith. I apologise.

I feel fairly pleased reading his VFL reviews every week. Sounds like he is a pressure machine, but just needs to develop his possession winning ability and goal sense. Often VFL players reviews are completely the other way around.

We need a backup for Garlett and hopefully Dion becomes that in the next year or two.

Sounds like he has a real hard edge about him to.

His initials are DJ...how have I not realized this.

Nickname potential now extreme

Is it just me or is this guy a spitting image of Jamie Elliot?
