Richmond Pick 47:
Jamie Solly
Undersized Key Forward/Ideally a 3rd Forward or Flanker
Height: 190cm
Weight: 90kgs
Perfect replacement for Troy Taylor if so. Fabulous set of hands and is one of the few elite kicks for goal in the Championships with a return of 11.1, including a 6 goal haul against Northern Territory.
His worth is in his aerial work and shot for goal but also his work rate up the field and ability to hit targets easily inside 50.
In 2009 - a bottom age he scored 22 goals in 11 games for Port in the U/18s.
This year 2010, he only played 2 games for Port but managed 8 goals in those 2 games. Reasons unknown? Maybe injured? School?
Likened type to Nathan Fyfe. Will not last to 47 in Thursdays Draft. Can play.
