PICK 79 – Geelong: JARROD LIENERT
Height: 191cm, Weight: 80kg, DOB: 5/8/1994
Recruited from: Sturt
Lienert is a third tall defender who has really impressed at U/18’s level in South Australia.
Geelong would get a bit of a bargain here. He can play on most forwards, and offers really good rebounding, but reads the play well and can take a grab. I think the fact he started off as a forward really helped him.
He only played the one game in the National Champs, so he doesn’t have a whole heap of exposed form, but he played pretty well in that one against Northern Territory.
