Looks a good risk/reward pick. Does some good things in that clip.

Does he handball to Cousins at 1:20 lol?
 
Stolen shamelessly from some guy from BB who stole it from some other guy

Strengths?
Shutting down the man, making the right decisions – whether to punch or mark, being in front.

Weaknesses?
My carnival hasn’t been the best, I expect better from myself. [I’ve been] learning off the other talented players. You’re playing against the best in the states and just learning the positions – where you should run to, when you should go, when you should stay. I’ll go back to my club and I reckon I’ll be a better player because of the carnival.

Which AFL team do you support?
I’m a Crows boy.

Which AFL player do you feel you most resemble?
(Essendon’s) Dustin Fletcher – he has a similar body structure. We don’t have much weight but he can take on the biggest players and the strongest players and do a good job on them. Adam McPhee, from Essendon, for his versatility. I see myself as a backman but I could also go up forward on a wing. Also, Adam Hunter from West Coast. I believe all three of them are really versatile.

We get moved around. When I go back to club football I’ll play up on a wing or forward line but when I come out to state, it’s backman and away you go.

I've seen Tyson in all his senior games and a lot of his junior games.

Firstly, he's no relation to Henry.

What you will get is a super-fit athletic, tall flanker who can run lines. he also played a great game in the last minor round SANFL match, tagging a good player and cutting him out completely.

He's just had a finger tendon operation.

The other plus is that he's an outstanding lad with a great attitude.
