Player Watch #39: Nathan Drummond

[Michaels]

not sure if anyone has looked at his TAC Stats from this year, but gees he tackles a lot..

 

[Stylo]

Massive spread in kicking efficiencies there. 11% efficiency against Eastern Ranges lol. But then 70% against North Ballarat. Will have to work on that.

 

[Michaels]

the other stat i like seeing good numbers in is Handballs Received.

By having good numbers in both tackles and Handballs Received, i read that as prepared to work hard both ways.

 

[Stylo]

Looking a bit closer that's an absurd performance against the Rebels.

32 disposals at 75% efficiency, 10 tackles, 11 marks, 2 goals, keeping in mind these games are only two thirds of full length. i know he's top age but there's no doubting his potential.

 

[Spluff]

Could be a good tagger for us.

 

[Juke]

Could be a good tagger for us.

I think he's got better skills than that. He could fill that softer run with role, definitely.

i dont think being a tagger has to waste his skills, just that he starts off defensively placed relative to his player. No reason we couldnt tyr to make him a ling style tagger that is damaging the other way rather than a crowley/macaffer bearhugger.

Griggs replacement.
Wonder how he goes in the ruck?

 

[Cevap_Roll]

I like the fact he hurts you on the scoreboard.

 

[Bobby Sands]

FJ thinks that he will play good game time in the ones next year, given that he is a year older than most in the draft.

 

[Grockadoc]

Been a fan of this kid for the best part of 2 years now.

Very well rounded footballer. Can play most roles outside of KP ones.

I actually selected Nathan Drummond at #50 for the hawks in a phantom draft # Conner Menadue at #26 for the Doggies on another forum
(i had to take a 2nd team Hawthorn as nobody wanted to take them )

Looks sharp in the training video. Have the other players given him a nickname yet? Perhaps base...

Drummond had more top 10 results at the draft camp than any other draftee.
