Taken pick #13 at the 2016 National Draft
A great kid who has been likened to Luke Shuey because of his explosive pace and attacking brand of football.
Should be seeing some time up forward early on, and get hopefully get some midfield minutes.
Venables is a dynamic playmaker capable of turning a game in an instant, as he displayed when he kicked the winning goal to lead Vic Metro to a come-from-behind two-point win over Vic Country in the Under-18 NAB AFL National Championships in June.
The midfielder/forward can burst away from opponents with searing speed or, if he decides to do so, crash through them by utilising his size and power.
An up and down season, due to injury and inconsistent form, makes Venables one of the more interesting players to track on draft night.
Venables is a driven character prepared to give his all for his team. He has a knack for winning the ball when he has no right to do so and he is clever around goal. If he finds consistency within his game, he could be anything.

Watch for #25 - attacks the ball hard in Fwd 50, creates a chance, then lays pressure on to get the goal!
So people know what he looks like:
