"My unheralded hit pick of the future. "
"Runs straight into oncoming traffic, clean hands gather on the move inside the traffic, show great balance and poise, spot quickly then long accurate, powerful feed out the other side of the traffic."
"I shudder to think how good this kid would have been by now had he always been a footballer. He strikes me as a natural.
He is one of those kids who could probably turn his hand to just about any sport and make a fist of it. As it happens he is also a high jump champ.
Athletically, physically and mentally, he brings to footy the following:-
- Great leap. In terms of DC tests, I focus on a kid's best running jump on his preferred take-off leg. X beat 73% of the 168 DC/SS players tested.
- Genuine pace in a power, balanced-in-the-run, glide over the turf style. Beat 93% of DC/SS kids in the 5m test and 79% in the 20m.
- Willingness to push himself. Beat 79% in the Beep test.
- Body shape. Has a very good build and size already. Powerful. And even his first AFL pre-season will improve it further. His skin-fold reading only beat 24% of the DC/SS participants"
