I've only seen his highlights of Allan which isn't much to go on but his hand passing looks accurate. He seems to favour long bombs into the F50 by foot but he is a long kick. Looks very tenacious & has breakaway speed, reminds me of a Cripps type.
Drafts are scary

Bit like finals, eh!

So was that an ELITE "blend of speed and endurance"?
I remember someone that used to play for us who was a lot like that

Hamish Davis’ Elimination finals performance for Claremont in the WAFL, 4 goals 21 disposals. Decent speed and has a tank, good results from the combine too. Good size at 190cm and a strong overhead mark, can also play midfield has a 40 disposal game in the under 18 colts. We should absolutely be looking at this kid with our second pick with the intention of playing him as a goal kicking mid. Would be interested to know if there are any glaringly obvious knocks on him though. Don’t know why he’s not discussed more tbh.
I’m personally still indifferent on who to get with our first pick though…

Hamish Davis Draft Profile
Claremont utility Hamish Davis found success at WAFL League level this year, combining high endurance base with high-IQ running patterns.

According to this, he has an awkward kicking action and lacks explosive speed.
Was going to use Cripps or Dangerfield as a comparison.
The lacking explosive speed is an interesting knock - he's certainly not slow and can put the jets on a bit when required.Hamish Davis Draft Profile

And the kicking action looks strange (due to sort of using both hands to guide the ball to boot when he has time) but his kicks are very effective and he's able to get boot to ball quickly to get out of congestion or if he's being tackled.
He's a great shot on goal and mark on the lead, so I don't really see these as big negatives in his game at all.

Looks to be quick enough. Languid running style (a bit like Lukoscious), but although not explosive, gets separation ok, and when on the move motors along.
Seriously he’s been great for the club won the Brownlow and all that but his kicking has always been sus.
I even remember in an interview with him he said his kicking has never been that flash.
Difference between a very good player and elite.
Seen Davis play a couple of games last year.
Not a bad grab, wouldn’t call him super fast but definitely not slow.
Has his own kicking style but seams to be successful at it.
Worth a close look at with one of our picks.

If he can get his concussions in check he will be the steal of the draft

Hard to judge the bloke's kick after those centre clearances, his team's forwards just stood there like spare pall bearers at a funeral and he had no option but to kick to a contest every time.
And what do you think is going to happen in Port's forward line haha?

Joe Berry's a Robbie Gray fan interesting read below from the Herald Sun:
Berry plays his local footy with the Wangaratta Magpies, where Joe Richards was plucked from by Collingwood in 2022 after turning heads in the in the Ovens & Murray league.
Having seen Richards wreak havoc at local level, Berry got the chance to learn off him over the summer.
“I used to go up and watch Joe and how he went about it and back then he was dominating,” Berry said.
“He’s had a great year (with Collingwood) as well, but I actually did a bit of sessions over summer with him and caught up with him a couple of times. It was pretty cool to see how he goes about it, he super clean and quick, so that’s something I try to bring into my game.
“I knew him alright before he left to Collingwood, but we’ve got the same manager as well.
“It was great to pick his brain and whatnot, so it was cool.”

It is not out of the realms of possibility that Berry ends up playing alongside Richards at the Power, who is in need of another quality small forward.
Port Adelaide is among a group of clubs in the 10-20 range to show interest in the speedy small forward, the Power holding pick 13 which they received in the Dan Houston mega-trade.
Berry has another Collingwood connection through Wangaratta in premiership player Ben Reid.
As senior coach of Wangaratta, Reid gave Berry the chance to play against men as a 17-year-old last year.
But the Pies are well out of the picture for Berry, only entering this year’s draft at pick 52.
A dynamic 181 centimetre forward, Berry lit up the Coates Talent League with 16 goals in his first five games and also impressed for Vic Country.
He says his hot start to the season was off the back of hard work.
“At the start I just had a really big pre-season and having that confidence in my body and just doing a lot of the sessions and doing extra stuff was pretty big over pre-season,” Berry said.
“Weight sessions, running sessions. But also kind of before I went back to Bushies, I was pretty big on continuing to do my craft. So a lot of ground balls, a lot of craft around goal stuff and it held me in good stead.”
Berry loves watching Hawthorn All-Australian Dylan Moore go about his business – but he is also no chance of joining the Hawks given their first pick is at 33.
“Some of his workrate is something I try to bring into my game,” Berry said.
“Also Toby Greene as well, because he is that hybrid who can play up the ground but also deep. Also a past player as well is Robbie Gray, I have watched a fair bit of his football and he is just so dynamic.”
