Anthony Raso

[DIG]

Last year when we picked this kid up late in the national draft we touted him as a "possible first round pick for next year".

How has he gone this year? Can anyone tell me where he'd be rated in this draft had we not picked him up a year early?

At 190 odd cms could he be the answer to some of our KPP problems one day or is he gonna be a dud?

At this point I think we should probably treat him like a 2005 draftee rather than a 2004 draftee. He hasn't even played in the VFL yet so he hasn't really had a chance to show what he's got.

They told him to focus on his school this year.

played reserves in the VFL. Didn't do much!

Played the majority of the year for Hailebury and was outstanding at times, mediocre at others!

Is a talent - and could see him going somewhere around the 20-30 range. A year in the VFL + lot's of weat bix and he'll be a very handy player!

Has alot of talent, produced some unbelievable passages of play this yr for his school. Can take some massive marks and kick the great goals, very versatile for his size.... does tend to drift in and out of games, and was made to look alot better by his teammates in a great hailerbury unit. Very skinny, and altho trying - struggling to put on the kgs.

Probs strugle to go first few rds this yr... if a coach can get him playing consistent footy, and the fitness trainer can bulk him - might be a good pick up

I read in an article about him earlier this year and he was quoted as saying he is 192cm and still growing. I think he's already put some more weight on too which is handy.
