Jesse Wells
Details:
Club: Burnie Dockers/Tasmania
DOB: 1 October 1986 Hgt: 196cm Wgt: 84kg
Position: Ruck
Natural Foot: Right

Honours:
Tasmania 2003
National Draft Camp 2004

Strengths: Wells was a player who impressed me a lot over 2003 and the beginning of 2004. However, he missed the carnival after doing his knee against Eastern in a lead-up match.

Wells has a good leap and his tapwork was excellent for an underage ruckman. He was absolutely dominating the Eastern game until he went down injured. Moves incredibly well for a big man (was in the top 5 for the 20m sprint at draft camp)

Weaknesses: At 196cm, may be too short to ruck at AFL unless he grows some more. But the big query is how the injury has affected him.

Footydraft.com comment: Very hard to place. I'm a fan of this kid, has looked promising every time I've seen him. Draft Camp might determine his fate given the lack of exposure in 2004.




Has anyone seen him play?? The only real main weakness is if his injury will cause him problems. Otherwise sounds like a good prospect.

Yeah he definetley sounds like his is worth a pick late in the draft , some club will take a punt on him and develop him in the 2's to see how he goes with his knee and everything may be fine and he could turn out to be a bargain and develop into a chb or chf
