Will Thursfield
Details:
Club: Ormond/Sandringham
DOB: 19 April 1986 Hgt: 190cm Wgt: 75kg
Position: Full Back
Natural Foot: Right

Honours:
National Draft Camp 2004

TAC Stats:
2004: 20 games, 4 goals, 12.2 PPG

Strengths: Will is a very athletic defender with plenty of promise. He has a huge leap on him and is capable of the spectacular mark. He likes to carry the ball out of defence and has good pace for his size.

Thursfield only joined the Dragons this year from Brighton Grammar and was captain of the school athletics team. He is also a long kick.

Weaknesses: Still fairly raw and can get lost on the field at times. Will sometimes try and mark from behind rather than punching. TAC Cup form was solid but nothing special.

Footydraft.com comment: It wouldn't surprise at all if Thursfield was drafted - clubs love pacy tall athletes like him. Would require a fair bit of work if he was to make it but would be well worth the punt.

From Demonology

Will Thursfield – I actually like this kid but no one seems to. He is just
your old fashioned full back who doesn’t concede goals. Not overly big but
sticks at the challenge. When the more fancied Sam Gooley has the 5th goal
kicked on him, Thursfield goes and plugs the whole. Good with the ball in his
hands as well. A little bit Scotty Tune

Very disappointing that we could not use our second PSD pick and take more than 1 rookie. There were plenty of good players available that were worth a shot and we may end up regretting missing out on some of these guys.

Well thats what 'positive momentum' is like. Not nice to get a jolt back into reality.

Certainly not earth shattering stats here.
 
A.F.L is a fast game..... we should expect to have fast running players! we've had to many slow players in the past. good signs adding pace! :D
