Which position do you see Marsh playing?

[suspect footskills]

His highlight reel is incredible. His physical attributes, in combination with his speed and ball gathering abilities make him a unique package. He could develop into anything. But where do you see him playing? In which direction should we take his development?

Wing for mine.

 

[Pies12]

Wing in the twos, needs to work on his footskills and consistency id say before we go off too early

 

[cleomenes]

Wing looks like it to start with.

 

[TradeDraft]

Not Really Sure.

Have to see how he fits in the Side 1st.

At the Moment as a Utility

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Full forward

CHB. He has some pretty unique gifts, but doesn't have the game awareness to be elite in other positions.

With his speed and power good luck beating him on the lead and in the air.

I have to say I'm really impressed by this guys natural ability as displayed in the highlight reel (thx 76woodenspooners) Considering his kicking isn't the greatest perhaps he could begin in a shutdown/run with role utilising his height, speed to advantage. Can't imagine there would be many who could outrun him though he'd have to work on his endurance first.

I really don't see him as a CHB. If he plays down Back I see being a Loose Man who Can Get the Ball and Run the Ball out of Defense

Think Darren Glass. Similar heights, similar athletically and similar footy smarts.

For mine he definitely doesn't read the play well enough to be that loose man.

Who is he?

 

[MeisterBot]

I know people compare Freeman to Dangerfield (though I never really saw it), but Marsh strikes me as someone who is more likely to become a Dangerfield-type player. Who knows if he will, but I think he has the right attributes for it.

 

[4#Didak#4]

He needs to play wing, a bit like when Matthew Richardson moved up into the midfield and had his best year.

Yes he is tall and will probably get marked as a forward or defensive position as a result, but that is ignoring his primary attributes which all scream midfielder.

He has the tools to be a real offensive running weapon on the wing who will be almost impossible to match up with a convential midfielder overhead. Up forward or back his main skills will get negated and his overhead ability & body shape will mean he will not win enough contests.

I agree. I think ultimately his gifts lend him to be a tall backman for the reasons you have said.

At the moment, he certainly doesn't have the game awareness but I think he has the scope to improve that in due course which may allow him to play further upfield later. I'd start him at half back at first though and let him gain confidence with his strengths.

Jonathan Marsh took him at Pick 77:

[rand corp]

I see him starting out on a half forward flank and moving up to a wing as his experience, tank and form improve -all going well.

Someone should let the Collingwood FC know because he is not included on website's list of players.

He has footy smarts but he doesn't read the play well....

None on the 4 drafted players are on the player list as yet (CFC website).
Our IT team is a bit slow this off season.

SUB.....could be the perfect proto type professional sub

Yep - Those Slackers

Where did I say he had footy smarts? All that I said was that he has similar footy smarts to Darren Glass...

FWIW that isn't intended as a put down of Glass! I really rate him as a footballer and what he has been able to achieve I just don't think in terms of a football brain that he is all that high up the list.

Problem from Marsh is he does barley anything in the game and is very quiet.

But when he does something it makes you WOW and Can be very game Breaking. But he get's less then 10 Touches
