Jack Juniper
Details:
Club: Sacred Heart/Glenelg
DOB: 10 November 1986 Hgt: 190cm Wgt: 79kg
Position: Centre Half Forward/Ruck
Natural Foot: Right

Honours:
State Screening Camp 2004

Strengths: Juniper is one of the real unknown quantities of the draft and could loom as a real smoky come November 20. He has spent most of the year rucking for Sacred Heart in the SA schools league, although he can also play forward.

Jack is an exceptionally long kick and can boot goals from 50-60 metres out. He is a powerful athlete with a good leap and exceptional pace for his height. Reportedly ran rings around Benet Copping in a school match this year.

Weaknesses: Big questions over his commitment to football. Only did one training session with Glenelg before deciding not to continue, and had to be coaxed into nominating for the draft. Unproven at SANFL level or in the carnival.

Footydraft.com comment: Very hard to get a handle on where this kid will go, if at all. A lot depends on how much scouts saw of him at school level, and whether he is prepared to had a real crack at AFL. One of the more interesting stories in the 2004 draft pool.

Krieger is a 191cm, 83kg player who is also VERY raw but exciting. I'm pleased a club took a punt on him - could be absolutely nothing but has some real AFL qualities. Is incredibly aggressive at the ball (almost overzealous) and has a massive leap.

Came from Mentone Grammar and only played a few games late in the season for Sandringham. Probably only a slim chance of making it but could be a very good player if you get lucky.

Thought Kreiger had a really good finals series playing on a wing for Sandringham. Was certainly amongst their best 2-3. I would have thought he would be a tallish winger/flanker more than a key position prospect.
