Ourfooty experts attended 12 pre-season sessions from across the AFL this week, and here are the players that stood out on track.

ADELAIDE



Sid Draper

Wearing bright pink boots during the match simulation, Draper was in the stronger side and kicked an impressive goal early. He then produced a tremendous chase-down tackle to wrap up Sam Berry, which got his teammates excited for the youngster.

Isaac Cumming

If the Crows can keep him fit then Cumming could have a big impact on their ball movement. While conditions weren’t great at West Lakes on Monday – hot and windy – Cumming was still clean with his ball movement and looks like he can be a weapon down back for the Crows.

Dan Curtin

Continued to be used as a forward and continued to show some impressive signs. The most impressive on Monday might have been when he gave it to Keane as things got heated. On the surface Curtin does seem somewhat reserved so the Crows would be thrilled to see some fire in the West Australian’s belly.

Oscar Ryan

There aren’t too many players on the Crows list who are yet to play an AFL game. Draper’s first should come soon but don’t be surprised if Ryan isn’t too far behind him. Nicks said Ryan reminded him of the great Gavin Wanganeen. The running defender has returned in good shape and impressed with his tank and kicking on Monday.
So excited about Ryan ! Would love if they just picked him round 1 because they think he’s a player like Nicks picked Soligo

I hadn’t seen or heard this before. That’s a very big call by Nicks. Wanganeen a true champion of the game. “Rubber man” had insane agility, speed from contest, overall skills and amazing in close. Also could take a hanger and provided huge drive from the backline.

Now I have high hopes for Ryan but….
