Dylan Williams should be available at one of our picks, was injured most of the season so would be a great value pick up.

Williams looks alright D.
What is his speed like?

His consistency and application will come when he is learning from Rioli and George

Really good acceleration, and is a match winning type player, reminds me of Stevie J in that he can win a game off his own boot as a forward, but can also play higher up the ground and impact. Very high footy IQ, but looks laconic so can frustrate a bit. Has a *smile* haircut.

Big tall lean lad. Not sure he ends up heavy enough but for his size he is such an athlete he definitely gets a shot.

Slight bit of Harris Andrews to him. Closing speed and ability to get his fist to the ball is really good.

Height scoop?

Reckon we are well stocked. Would go for a key fwd, key back, and some mids.

thanks D.
haircut says it all. Sounds like a best available pick

Doesn't fit our mould of two talls and everyone else with electric pace.

That's what makes me think Cody Weightman will be right in the mix for us at 19. Has got every trait we value on and off the ground.

Met and watched Cody training recently.

Would be a great fit for the Tigers.

Nice kid and everything he does, he focuses and gives it his all.

Explosive, easy going. Almost identical build to Higlet.

Hows his tank Scoop? Is he a mid prospect ?

I'd be happy if we read his name out first round and its realistic hes best available at our pick, although I reckon he'll be gone.

Apparently Melbourne is very keen on Weightman at pick 8.

wouldn't be a very Melbourne thing to do. Blue-Chip Richmond-style man?

But, yeah, I'll be pretty surprised if hes there at 19

See’s the same running coach as Higgins.
Is slower than Higgins but has slightly better agility. Has a good tank.
I spoke to a prominent player agent about him recently. The guy said he’s not top 10 in his opinion
