Thoughts on Barzen and do you think he gets drafted and if so where? From watching a few games this year and last year I believe he has massive talent and upside and could become a really good player at the next level once his body develops and gets more consistency
For a kid in the AFL Academy his TAC form has been underwhelming to be generous.
Has there ever been an Academy player who managed 12 games, 11 without a mention in their TAC Cup best performers (he was only named 6th best against Eastern)?
I watched him on tape against Bendigo, and live against Sandy. Just doesn’t get involved anywhere near enough. Kicks a goal or two for sure, but didn’t display the willingness or ability to beat his opponent to the footy. Wants to be a 190cm crumbing forward rather than a lead up workhorse.
Whoever takes him will have a bit of work to do to get his work level up IMO.
