Draft Profile Patrick Karnezis

[Silvagnis]

Draft prospect to utilise soccer smarts

Karnezis played eight games (excluding finals) for Oakleigh in the 2010 TAC Cup, booting 28 goals and averaging 19 disposals, 54 per cent of them contested.

Sheehan noted Karnezis' ability to play as a second or third tall forward and as a defender made him similar to Carlton swingman Jarrad Waite.

''Patty's got some of that freakish ability about him. He's certainly got great hands,'' Sheehan said. ''When the ball gets into his area, whether it's a ground ball or over his head or to his side, he just doesn't fumble.

''He's also a great set shot for goal. He's got a great technique and looks very composed and balanced.''

''The creativeness is something that stands out with him. He sets up the game, and that may well come from soccer,'' Sheehan said.

Pretty hard thing to give up soccer in Oakleigh...I admire him for that.

How's that working out for you?

Pretty well.
Only one forward in the entire VFL had a superior goal average.
Patty missed pre-season with OP.
He'll be a fine player.

Yep just needs clear run at preseason and build his tank then we will have a very good player on our hands.

About as good as Wellingham is for you, the only difference is the price

its a long term thing with this bloke. couldn't squeeze into a team that was ravaged by injury and didn't play finals, but it could be a 'wait and see' approach with Nathan.

Missed the Off-Season and Start of season with OP and Had a Few Injuries as well during the season

Jury is out on Karnesis. Didn't get a good go at this season due to injuries and had some good VFL games. Still coming up to his 5th year in the system so time is running out. Not best 22 at Coliingwood as it stands so needs to go past a few this year or will be delisted. Looks a chance to do that but no certainty.

Extremely lazy is what I've read - was worth the punt.

From a distance I reckon Wellingham is going OK and I think he might just have Karnezis covered ... but only just mind you !!!
