As is always the case after now having watched a few 3 minute highlight packages, I have suddenly become an expert on all things draft.
Freeman- took an eternity to win me over (90 secs is a long time by you tube standards). Nice kick. He has got a slightly awkward kicking posture though, I wonder how that would hold up under pressure. He's very heavily slanted to the right too. It was plain to see even from a 3min vid that he has got absolutely nothing on the left, nothing, and he aint exactly speedy gonzalez so no.
Salem- a strong overhead mark which wont mean much in the AFL at 183cm. Nice left foot, shows some good confidence and might have a trick or two, has he got the tank though. Looks pretty tough. At his size needs to be a gun mid but he thinks he is a miniature CHF, pass.
Dunstan- has a beautiful composed left foot, looks a player that would slot right in, is attacking and has smarts. Looks like Luke Power reincarnated- with a dash of Luke Hodge thrown in. A dash. But I can see how this guy would really appeal to Hardwick. Would we be paying overs with 12?
Lennon- if we can get him, yes please, an inbetweener at 188cm but has the dash to pull it off, if he is not ready now he is fairly close. Shows great attack but I would be happy for him to serve an apprenticeship on a HBF to work on the defensive side and would be a good understudy for Lids.
Acres- would be disappointed if we spend our precious 1st rnd pick on him, sure he looks exciting, it's heart in mouth stuff a little, but those guys can win you games. He is the type that makes you wish you had 2 picks inside the top 20.
