based on the footage alone, this guy seems to be a great fit for carlton.

seems to have genuine poise in traffic, good pace and disposal. his background in long distance running will help in the transition to afl level.
 
Haha, he does look like a cross of Murph and Gibbs.

Now I know highlight vids arent the greatest evidence but I really like the look of his movement and urgency. He could slip into AFL level very nicely methinks, besides weight building of course.
 
Good disposal. I know it was highlights but very nice kick on him. Liked the second effort at around 2.40 as well. Then he's aware enough to know he's puffed out, so he chose a short setup pass when he may have been within his rights to kick for goal. Indicates a cool head.

Very happy with this selection.

Keeps getting mentioned as a backman but has all the tools to potentially rotate through the midfield.
 
Heading into the draft I said that a small defender capable of pushing up through the middle was one of, if not our greatest priority.

Carter was the one I personally wanted (having watched a YouTube video) but clearly the club rated Temay higher so I'm more than happy he's at the club.

Addresses a clear need so I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops. No need to rush him straight in but if he can compete at a lower level to start, the rewards will come.
 
Tom talks of the draft dream

Carlton’s National Recruiting Manager Shane Rogers said that while Tom played back pocket for Sandringham for most of this year, “he played midfield/wing for Vic Metro, which is where I see him playing”.

“He’s definitely a wingman/midfielder with silky skills and he’s obviously a good runner,” Rogers said.

Elite junior runner, expect him to do well in the club 3km time trials for years.

I reckon smokey to start in the BP next year if he can show the sort of lockdown he did on Whitfield (also an elite runner who typically uses this to burn opponents)

After watching the Herald Sun Pick me series clip of Tom you have to be impressed with his maturity.

Seemed like he was really aware of his ability and limitations and comes off as a bloke who is willing to work really hard for a spot on the team. Welcome to the club Tom and good luck

Just imagine..... After Kroooooooz marks the ball and dishes it off to Temay, 50000 people shouting "Timmaaahh" loudly. Will be awesome.

I have to say I am a bit surprised with the lack of love for Temay. Usually any remotely talented Metro kid is spruiked to the max on here but for some reason the usual hype has passed Temay by and I do not really understand why. I thought he had a very good Champs and showed a really nice ability to step up as the standard of the competition went up. He is a private school kid and did not spend a lot of time in the TAC and I guess when he did play it was toward the end of the season when he seemed to be running down. He only played 7 TAC games and I note he failed to get into the best in any of those games. His form early in the year was very good though and he carried that into the Champs and I am thinking the clubs will pay attention to that.

Temay was Metro’s number 1 small defender and did a very nice job on some of the better players at the Champs including Whitfield in the Country game. In that game Temay lead all players with 24 possessions showing nice ability to shut down his man and then work him the other way as a link player. Over the course of the Champs Temay managed to average 18.8 disposals per game at a good DE% of 77%.

I do think the Metro – Country game did send mix messages about him. In addition to the good above he also looked to lack a bit of class with his disposals and this seemed to be more evident the further the game went. Earlier in that game and generally I think he is a pretty good kick of the ball and he makes decent decisions with the ball. I certainly think his disposal skills are better than Wright’s who is likely to be taken ahead of him on the day. He has a nice technique and reasonable penetration on his kicks and will find the man on most occasions.

He is very good in man on man situations and has the pace and agility to go with most small forwards. I did notice Garlett running away from him on one occasion but for the most part I think he pace has seemed fine. I note that at the Combine he was a bit slow over the first 5 metres but once he was up to speed he was elite quick. That is probably what was happening in the Garlett situation where he was caught out a bit flat footed. He needs to put on weight and get stronger but I think that will come. His height is not ideal but I haven’t noticed him being beaten in the air all that much. There is not much too him at the moment but he is a good tackler as a defender and if he gets his arms on the forward he is usually pretty effective.

He has played some midfield but I do not really see that as an option at the next level unless it is as a tagger. He seems prone to fumbling with the ball below his knees and I think he does panic a little in contested situations. He tends to rush things generally when pressured and with the ball on the ground he often lifts his head and gets into his move before he has secured the ball. It’s possible that this could be coached out of him but composure on the ball is an important factor for a potential mid and I think he lacks it. For a backman it is not uncommon and if he can improve a bit I do not think there should be an issue.

Overall I don’t mind Temay as a defensive player and rather than taking an attacking player who you are going to try and defend I would hope teams consider taking a good small defender who they can build up his offensive game.

Tom Temay
Hard working defender with great agility who I can see becoming a midfielder in the AFL. Will be a good pickup for Richmond and another of those types they love that won't be a star but has the required attitude, work rate and physical attributes to improve the team. A tagging role would be a good way for him to work his way into the midfield at AFL level, could possibly replace Daniel Jackson which Tigers fans would be happy about.

Tom Temay (VIC – Mid/Def)
Height: 179cm, Weight: 74kg, DOB: 06/02/1994
Recruited from: Sandringham Dragons
Style:
Player Comparison:
Range: 30-70
Profile: Temay is a midfielder and defender with the ability to play a variety of roles. Temay has shown throughout the u18 championships that he has the ability to cleanly use the ball out of the back half. Strong 1v1 player. Kicking skills are above average and at times set up some meaningful drive. Decision making also very good. Temay also at times has shown the ability to play some shutdown roles through the midfield or down back, most notably on Lachie Whitfield who he competed very well against. Temay through the midfield is more of an outside/linkup type but does have some ball winning ability and isn’t a soft outside player.

You would prob say that Temay is a long term replacement for Carrots. Carrots is one of the best inside, ball winning taggers in the comp and I think Temay is going to be in a similar mould. Carrots is tough to replace as evidenced by his time out with injury so I think this could prove to be a smart move. Prob won't play til '14.
