Monocle - This guy was on my list...What do you know about him mate?
I was in the Big Footy Trial Mock Draft I was picking for WC....... its on the Draft and Trading Board in Phantom Drafts.
I actually took Guelifi with pick # 50 our third round pick.
Here is what I wrote some months ago.
Selection # 50 West Coast .
Matt Guelifi. 184 cm 78 kg. Inside Mid. Claremont
At this juncture in the draft I am not going to speculate on kids that, quite frankly I haven't seen enough of over a player I have seen a fair bit of .
So the Claremont Colts tackling machine is a good option here. Matt has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months.
He is averaging 26 possessions in the colts and is a high tackle count exponent. He has an instinctive hunger for the contested possession. Tough and determined at the coal face. Good extractor and not lost on the outside either. Plays like a slightly smaller version of Scott Selwood however his disposal ( unlike Selwood ) is very tidy and he hits targets regularly over a variety of distances.
He made his senior debut for Claremont last weekend and certainly didn't disappoint. I like both his tenacity and his work rate and I believe he has the skills and determination to make it in the AFL.
FYI I took the following in the trial Mock.
Pick 14 . Rotham.
Pick 32 . Atley
Pick 50 . Guelifi.
Pick 68 . Strnadica
Pick 86 . Jye Bolton
