Rookie pick #43: Steven Verrier
« on: December 13, 2011, 11:24:49 AM »
Velcome

# 10 North Melbourne - Steve Verrier ( South Fremantle / 188 / 83 / 93)

Really impressed me at champs and then later in the season at Reserves and Senior level and is certainly the style of player North might like and who could add a touch of class. Just looks like a footballer to me and is probably going to be your attacking defender type who will be able to push up further into his development. Ticks a lot of boxes; composed in traffic, one touch, does the little things, gives a second effort, tackles, quick and a really good ball user and decision maker.

Steven VERRIER (South Fremantle)
DOB: 24/6/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Steven's a half-back flanker who did the pre-season with the senior side but copped a bad injury in a pre-season game which put him out of the action for three to four months. Upon returning he went back to the Colts side and then later in the year made his senior debut. A really good runner, great character of a kid and can play either end but I reckon half back is his best spot. Kicks it well, does need to find the footy a bit more but that will come." - South Fremantle football operations manager Brent Dawkins.
Western Australia representative 2011.

Francis Jackson on Verrier:

"He's a rebounding defender who played for WA in the national under-18 carnival. He also played some senior footy for South Fremantle this year, which is a positive. He had a serious nose injury earlier in the year, and that set him back for a number of weeks, but we think he's a high-possession winner and he can play a rebounding role for us in the future."

found his video clip to be the most impressive out of todays picks. hits the ball hard, tackles with gusto and is deceptively agile and evasive for a bloke his size.

I think it's worth a whoa

you can really sea how raw this kid is in this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7NbEWgC2Wo&feature=related

he has something to work with though, a number of times he beats two or more opponents for the ball.

you can see how far he has to come along to make it.
