This guy will be a top 10 pick. I remember seeing him playing for Geelong Falcons at the Triple Header at QEO earlier this year. He stuck out there because he was tall enough to take a decent grab and quick enough to get the ball on the ground. he also had an excellent idea where the goals are: he kicked 4 goals that day.
He probably makes a few too many errors for mine, but that shouldn't be a problem. Get him into a side and he'll quickly discover the parameters he can play under.
That said, he also taken some good marks and isn't afraid of getting his jumper muddy. He didn't have that often: Geelong had a fair few guys who liked getting down and dirty. Cunnington for example.

Will be Picked up by Sydney for sure unless taken earlier.
Only bad thing with him is his low possesions.

Watched him dash up and down the wings of Skilled Stadium a number of times.
Remindeds me Dale Thomas. You tell me if thats a good thing or not?

Picks of the draft: Gary Rohan

THE LOWDOWN: Rohan is tall, quick and capable of doing the things you least expect him to do. Out of nowhere he'll be up on someone's back taking a big mark or flashing out of a pack. Not everything works out perfectly, but he tries new things and he has an ability to make things happen, which not all that many players in this draft have. He's played both half-forward and in defence, but has some midfield potential, too.
