Will Thursfield
Details:
Club: Ormond/Sandringham
DOB: 19 April 1986 Hgt: 190cm Wgt: 75kg
Position: Full Back
Natural Foot: Right

Honours:
National Draft Camp 2004

TAC Stats:
2004: 20 games, 4 goals, 12.2 PPG

Strengths: Will is a very athletic defender with plenty of promise. He has a huge leap on him and is capable of the spectacular mark. He likes to carry the ball out of defence and has good pace for his size.

Thursfield only joined the Dragons this year from Brighton Grammar and was captain of the school athletics team. He is also a long kick.

Weaknesses: Still fairly raw and can get lost on the field at times. Will sometimes try and mark from behind rather than punching. TAC Cup form was solid but nothing special.

Footydraft.com comment: It wouldn't surprise at all if Thursfield was drafted - clubs love pacy tall athletes like him. Would require a fair bit of work if he was to make it but would be well worth the punt.

My very limited impressions of the kid;

Very much a project player, alot of abilty/talent but raw and a pure Full Back. athletic; good mark and speed.


he's a defender and must a project player to eventually take over fullback.

Where does this put Moore? I like the kid and fancyed him as a our future full back. However, I dont reckon he is cut out for a CHB but would be a good 3rd tall down back.

Down the track we could look like this at the back, solid;

ff - x Thursfield x
hf - Moore Schulz x
 
i guess with nobody standing up yet, its best to have a few to try out and see whether we can score ourselves a gem or 2..

i like the sound of an athletic tall rebounding defender, something we're in short supply of :p

Will be sharing Gym duties with Limbach, Mcguane and co.
At 190cm and 75kg, we may need to employ a Bulgarian weightlifting coach as his "nutritionist". Or maybe if the Big4 ticket gets up and keeps their promise to involve past players, there may be an opening for Justin Charles as an advisor.
:D
