Haha very good.

Actually if I ever changed it...
 
Here's what a few of BigFooty's resident experts have to say about Tom.

#47 North Melbourne (Via Collingwood and Melbourne) - 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.

34. Richmond

I think Richmond need to look for a small defender to replace Newman’s kicking at the back but with no-one really grabbing me for that position I have gone with the Metro no 1 small defender. I think Temay has a better balance between defensive and offensive skills than many of the current Richmond group.

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.

# 69 Carlton
Tom Temay
Sandringham
179cm / 74kg / ‘94

Not much talk about this kid but I am a real fan. I just think he looks pretty polished and rarely seems to make mistakes. HBF type who is very competitive and has a bit of dash about him. Nothing wrong with his ball distribution at all in fact always seems to use it really well. Probably just held back a bit because he may be seen as a bit one dimensional. I guess there are a few of his type so a bit of a lottery as to where he goes but he will go somewhere i would think. Some talk Kyle Reimers could be here and very understandable but I would back this kid in to be better over the journey.

Temay gets the Blues on draft night

MEETING Chris Judd is just one thing Tom Temay is looking forward to after he was picked up by Carlton in the AFL Draft last night.
Like Judd, Tom, 18, has been recruited from the Sandringham Dragons.
"I’m stoked to be going to the Blues,’’ Tom said.
"They’re a great club, great people and it will be a great experience.’’
Carlton chose Tom with pick 35.
A bundle of nerves, Tom was sitting on a couch at home in St Kilda next to his mum Sara, dad Paul and sister Molly.
He admits there were tears all-round when his name was read out.
"It was a bit of a shock that I went that early,’’ he said.
"It was pretty emotional, like mum and dad and Molly started crying a bit.’’
Tom’s dad Paul Temay played with St Kilda in the 1980s, making his debut as an 18 year old.
"Dad’s been pretty special because obviously he’s been by my side since I was young. He taught me a lot from experience and has just been great,’’ Tom said.
Tom said his dad had always urged him to enjoy football.
"He’s always told me to never give up and just remember to enjoy yourself because it’s just a game in the end and you’ve always got to remember to have fun. That’s one of the main things he says,’’ he said.

Hope we can develop Temay into a small defender. Would be happy with another Adrian Whitehead whose career was cut short by injuries. Not expecting a lot from our later picks, but I hope I'm wrong.

Sad state of affairs is when post counts are used to determine a sad state of affairs :P

The way he seems to go about his business, I could see him rivaling Dennis and Laids to become my favourite. I love the "head down but up" attitude
 
I think Temay will be a lot like Andy McInnes in that he won't seem like much at VFL level, just a contributor. But then he'll be able to contribute at the same rate and level at AFL as he does at VFL.

Very solid citizen IMO, which is why we picked him ahead of Graham, but also why Graham, whose ceiling appears higher is the more attractive draftee
