The Draft File: Mid-Season Rookie Pick 11 - Will Collins

The Eagles swooped on the Swan Districts defender with their first pick in the mid-season player ballot

www.westcoasteagles.com.au

Figured we need separate threads for our newest Eagles.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Wish him all the best, but I'm not sure a WAFL Reserves half back flanker who averages 10 touches a game at that level is what we need

Anthony Michael Hall - the 35 yr transition from Mathlete to Athlete

 

[Truckosaurus]

Welcome Wilco, please don't stab me.

 

[Campaigner for good]

I know very little about Mr Collins. We do seem to be pretty good at drafting talls via the rookie list though. So for our sakes let's hope that continues. Oh, and welcome Will

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Welcome Phil Collins.
Good to hear he's 6cm taller than his WAFL listed height.

 

[RookiePick]

Simmo - Get me Sam Collins!

Recruitment team - We couldn't get Sam Collins but...

 

[Monocle]

Welcome Phil Collins.
Good to hear he's 6cm taller than his WAFL listed height.

Just needs to grow another 6cm and then kudos to R. O'B for having picked another agile ,quick, mobile marking tall from obscurity.

Jokes aside all the best to the young fella, hope he has a long and successful career with us.

Welcome Wilco sounds good to me ..

what`s not to like about this pick and a good use of the mid season draft to add another young draftee to our draft haul from last year ..

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I dunno how, but they've somehow already put up highlights of Collins.
Not much of his running ability showcased here, but nice one handed pickup and good turn of speed at 0:47.
Apart from that decent overhead marking and one on one defending.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I do like that he doesn't pin the arms in the tackle early in the video.

He's going to fit right in.

 

[Avalor]

Promising - good one on one. I like what I see there.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Reminds me a bit of Maynard.

 

[TOA.]

Looks like an interesting player - not sure what sort of player he reminds me of? Maybe Jimmy Clement? The clear hope is that he keeps growing and fills out as I think he'd be a perfect 194cm lock down type that can go with the more athletic talls.

 

[THE A5]

There's not many under sized KPD in the comp but Dane Rampe at 188cm has been the best at it for a while.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Inspiring highlights package.

My highlights from C grade ammos is better. And I'm s**t.

Even the part where I fend off 8 people in a row and get caught holding the ball.

Now he was a very good player...well he was once he left Fremantle and went to Collingwood.

Very underrated but was a player who always did the job asked of him and very team orientated too.

If Collins is as good as James Clement then we will have drafted very well.

[Mulldogg]

Gives off some pretty strong Callum Wilkie from the Saints vibes being that undersized KPD size and slightly ungainly left foot kicking action.

 

[RookiePick]
