Draft Profile 2018 Mature Aged Prospects

Norwood's midfield quartet of Grigg, Panos, Johnston, and Nunn are destroying teams in the SANFL right now.

Unfortunately, I am not sure if the clubs that passed over the older 3 continuously will give them another look.

Nunn is a different prospect as a quick 21-year-old who has found the ball inside and out this year.
LJ’s transformation has been stunning. Was pigeonholed as a KPF for too long and since being released up the ground he is killing it. Very biased but he is easily one of the top few kicks in the SANFL and is a very good size. Unfortunately I don’t think any of those 3 of ours you mentioned will get another shot

is that lewis johnston our former top ten pick?
Yep.
After being used predominantly as a forward over the years he had stagnated so Cotton moved him up into the middle of the ground and it’s been a fantastic move. Gets plenty of it and uses it well. Still a beautiful kick but I’d think his AFL days have passed

Sam Collins has dominated as KPD for werribee this year.

Would slot into Collingwoods back 6 perfectly.

Agree. Be Walk up Started in Collingwood's Backline with the Lack of a FB

Did you watch any Dockers game when Collins played?

The guy lateral movements and closing speed is slow. His kicking isn't great either.

Their a lot of players who do well at the WAFL/VFL/SANFL levels but lack something that holds them back from making it at AFL level.

As long he play his Role I think other club will not look at his past performance at Fremantle . Nobody care about how bad Mitch Morton ( Eagles, Richkond) is as a player but he did win a premiership with Sydney by playing a role with them .

Yeah, and Ben Rutten was obviously called truck for his elite ability to turn on a dime...

Collins struggled with agility at Freo cause they wanted him to beef up and it cost him slme movement. He has slimmed down and has been amazing 1v1 this year and is marking everything down back this year. KPDs dont need elite agility if they have those things.
 
Goddard is stuck in the reserves. I think he's okay though. Claremont always have a lot of good kids coming through who are competing for a game.

I would grab Eastland. I know he's "only" 196cm but he's so competitive that I think he would get the job done for an AFL club.

Pretty good numbers until injury struck. http://www.wafl.com.au/players/view/6455
At 196cm its tough unless he has some forward craft and could turn into a Jenkins type fwd/ruck. Even Fraser Mcinnis struggles playing ruck against the big boys at AFL level.

Whats your thoughts on Cam Leorsch?
Asked a few posters on the Eagles board and they don't rate him.
21.17 in 7 games and averages 6 marks a game. Surely at 203cm a few clubs would be keen on him as fwd ruck. Kicked 6 on the weekend as well.

Collins was always fighting uphil to do well at Fremantle.

Lots of factors fighting against him but that's in the past. Will get another chance as has been mentioned amd no doubt deserves every chance to do so. Has absolutely dominated the VFL this year.

I really like the progress he is making. Jeez, he can really mark a ball and his kicking technique is sound. Sure, he's taken a bit of time to develop but so do a lot of big kids.

If he doesn't kicked picked up this year I reckon he'll top the WAFL goal kicking in 2019 and really make the recruiters take notice.

Do you think that it might translate to the next level as his height and size would far more advantageous at WAFL as there wouldn’t be too many key defenders to go with him?

I’d actually like to see him rucking more and as an Eagles fan I kinda want us to go with Lycett/ Vardy and a pinch hitting fwd/ruckman.
