Drew? Really? "Genuinely massive" and "One of the tallest young genuine mids in the game"?

I just dont see that. At 188cm he is a good mid-size mid. A tall mid is over 190cm, like Charlie Constable (191), Bontempelli (193), Cripps (195)et-al. Players in that 186-188 bracket like Wines, Heeney, and Drew, etc, are a good mid-sized player.

Burton is one I am looking forward to seeing work into the mid-field. At 191cm, and having a solid body, but with great athleticism & skill, is going to be a real handful for oppo players in years to come.
Drew's draft height was 188 but he's around 191 now.
I'm 188 and he walked past me at Alberton this year. Definitely had grown atleast an inch

Nice win by Port. Ladhams mobility and skill was great to watch. McKenzie commanded the back line. Drews last quarter excellent but I dont notice his impact as much as others do. Liked the way we kept persevering despite poor goal kicking in second half. Good spirit in the team. Lokan has done well.
Word for word my thoughts.

Ladhams needs to learn the art of tapwork and hitting to our advantage.

We were markedly better with Hayes in ruck and Ladhams forward.
I only watched the last quarter on replay. We won nearly every centre clearance as far as I could see. I thought it was Ladhams tapping the ball to Drew, who by the way must have thought it was his birthday!! He was killing them in the centre. I guess both Sammie and Pete had turns in the centre for the last quarter.
And Billy is entitled to have a quiet one by the way. Yep his marking was off due to Ottens wearing him like a glove!

I wanna see Drew at the coal face a helluva lot more at AFL level what that means for Wines, Rockliff & SPP I don't really give a s**t.

What I love about Drew's inside work is how ******* clean it is. There's a need for one of SPP or Wines, but not both simply due to how inefficient their disposal is.
 
One thing I have noticed about Drew, when he is under pressure and forced to kick left foot in a tight jam, he takes one step and does a torp. He has a good normal right foot kick, both under pressure and when he has time - better than SPP and Wines.

Of course there isnt total certainty, never is with anyone. But the games I have seen them play they have been really really impressive, the original post I replied to had gone the extreme of saying crows had mispicked on all three, which is far from.
So you would pick Jones and McHenry in front of duursma?

I don't think Fogarty will amount to much but he looks better at AFL level than SANFL he's a cheap shot prick though.

His game against West Coast was good but West Coast had the king of all off nights. His best attribute is his kick but you're not always going to get it served to you the way he did that night.

Personally I would have, only because they thought Duursma would be there at 19. Once he was off the board at 18 they traded their pick to Carlton.

If we didn't select him the tingles would have him, their strategy nearly worked.
