Player's I would be happy with:
Round 1
Dom Sheed -
#West Coast - Dominic Sheed (WA – Mid)
Height: 183cm, Weight: 82kg, DOB: 10/03/1995
Recruited from: Subiaco
Style: Simon Black
Player comparison:
Range: 3-15
Classy player good vision, good at clearances and gets foward to kick goals.
Tackles nicely is one paced left footer.
Ben Lennon (VIC – Util)
Height: 187cm, Weight: 79kg, DOB: 05/06/1995
Recruited from: Northern Knights
Style: Shannon Hurn
Player comparison:
Range: 5-15
Big half foward sized like a Andrew Embley has a wonderful kick on him, in the Hurn class.
Has very good pace, leads very well and never misses. Has played midfield in the TAC and that
is where his future is.
Versitile can play anyway on the field.
Marcus Bontempelli (VIC – Mid/Def)
Height: 191cm, Weight: 83kg, DOB: 24/11/1995
Recruited from: Northern Knights
Style: Brett Deledio
Player comparison:
Range: 3-10
Profile: Bontempelli is a very athletic tall. Bontempelli can really break the lines with his pace but also has a nice leap on him making him a weapon in the air when he pushes forward. He has a nice combination of athletic gifts with above average speed, agility and endurance at his height. Has some real penetration on that left foot and has the ability to do some major damage.
I would rather this kid than Sheed at the moment.
Luke Dunstan (SA –Mid/Fwd)
Height: 185cm, Weight: 83kg, DOB: 29/01/1995
Recruited from: Woodville-West Torrens
Style: Dustin Martin (Without the problems)
Player comparison:
Range: 3-15
Profile: Dunstan is a dominant inside midfielder with a strong body. Has future captain potential having captained SA through the u18 championships and is highly regarded for his leadership abilities. Big time accumulator and a natural inside ball winner. Has very clean hands and is also an excellent inside extractor and will play a big part in winning those clearances consistently. Not only is Dunstan an exceptional inside player but he can also swing forward, take a mark and hit the scoreboard when given the opportunity and I expect he will continue to be a very damaging player at the next level. Above average kick but his strength by foot is in his ability to finish around goal or any time within range. Ready to play from season one.
Dayle Gartlett WA
Height: 181cm Weight 79kg
Draft Range 8 to 40
Super talent something WCE needs probably second round plus pick than first.
The more I hear the more I hear he's not first a round pick
Second Round Picks
Jonathon Marsh (WA – KPF/Util)
Height: 191cm, Weight: 89kg, DOB: 17/10/1995
Recruited from: East Fremantle
Draft range 8 to 25
He is a third foward or midfielder has elite burst speed and loves to take the game on.
Xfactor kid can turn a game on its head with that ability to make something from nothing.
Jono may be a first round pick still hard to judge where clubs see him as he not a genuine KP.
Patrick Cripps (188cm, 88kg midfielder - East Fremantle)
Draft range 15 to 40
Big bodied midfielder who is a lovely kick of the footy and has some burst speed from stoppages.
He's a beast at the footy, and is a clearance machine, very different player to his brother.
He strong stands up in tackles gets his arm free and delivers the footy well.
Blake Acres (WA – Mid/Util)Height: 188cm, Weight: 84kg, DOB: 07/10/1995
Recruited from: West Perth
Style:
Player comparison:
Range: 20-35
Profile: Acres is a high production outside player with some real versatility and the ability to play through the midfield, up forward or down back well. Finds it effortlessly on the outside. Very effective as a linkup player and is a really clean user of the footy and very composed with ball in hand finding the right target every time. Willing to take the game on and shows some ability with his run and carry.
This is my favourite kid from the draft will be a special talent runs all day, lovely kick under pressure, great overhead mark with excellent pace.He's a great size I think he's at his best when played in the centre.
Has suffered shoulders problems all year and may need surgery this is why he will drop in the standings
Christian Salem (VIC - Mid)
Height: 183cm, Weight: 82kg, DOB: 15/07/1995
Recruited from: Sandringham Dragons
Style:
Player comparison: Luke Tapscott (more athletic)
Range: 10-30
Profile: Midfielder with a real physical presence and physical way of playing. I also really enjoy Salem’s tackling game, he just hunts the man and you can see he really enjoys it, and he does big damage every time he lays a tackle and it’s a real feature of his game. When it’s his turn to go he goes, whether it be a marking contest where he knows he will get crushed or going for the hard ball he will put his head over it and just go for it. He also does some really impressive work at times with some good blocking or bumps on or off the footy where required and just has that hard edge you love to see. Damaging user of the footy with ball in hand with his footskills excellent. More outside than inside at this stage and the next step will be to develop that inside game.
Nathan Freeman (VIC – Mid)Height: 181cm, Weight: 85kg, DOB: 16/06/1995
Recruited from: Sandringham Dragons
Style: Patrick Dangerfield
Player comparison:
Range: 15-29
Profile: Absolute dynamite midfielder and in my view outside of Jack Martin I strongly believe Freeman will become the best midfielder in this draft class. Other than Patrick Dangerfield and Chris Judd no player even compares with what Freeman does in the contest from an explosive standpoint. Freeman as Dangerfield does wins all the contested ball and is an absolute clearance machine but he’s a guy who has that rare combination of inside game and extreme explosiveness with his pace, agility and sidestep all as good as you’ll see. In addition to that explosiveness Freeman has a real hardness to him with the way he attacks the footy and contest. Also features of Freeman’s game is his ability to take grabs overhead and his 1v1 ability. He can push forward and hit the scoreboard in a big way particularly enjoying those finishes on the run streaming into goal or running to the 50 and going long for the goal. In short this guy has all the tricks and other than Jack Martin is that only other midfielder I see as a genuine game changer.
Third round
Darcy Cameron (203cm, 98kg ruckman - Claremont)
Draft Range 25 to 45
The best ruckman in this draft Albany boy he is a good mover.
He is a great mark of the footy.
Can play as a foward as well reads the play well and is good at timing his leads.
Will need a few years to develop but should come on well.
Ruck talent is very very thin this draft as well as next year.
Nicholas Robertson (WA – Util)
Height: 188cm, Weight: 83kg, DOB: 03/06/1995
Recruited from: West Perth
Another inside/outside mid good pace strong attack on the footy.
Is a endurance athlete runs all day, missed the championship due to shoulder operation and is out for most of this year.
That's the reason he will drop, that along with him being not a great interview.
He is another kid I would like.
Rookies
Dylan Loo (184cm, 75kg midfielder - Perth)
A strong mid Dylan opted out of the AIS squad and dropped out of footy has come back now
to colts. Is a undoubted talent that if we get right could be one of those rookie gems has a lot
to work with, electric pace.
Byron Sumner 178cm SA
A uitlity player was on sydney list is a lovely left foot kick with great penetration.
Would like him picked up as a small back pocket
These are the kids I would like. A mix of these kids would be great I actually think the WA kids
are a better bet this draft.
A draft of,
Bontempelli
Blake Acres
Dayle Gartlett
Nicholas Robertson
The above would make me very happy.
