a) What would you classify Ziebell as?
b) From what I read he's got all the hardness we seem to lack in the midfield, how is he with hitting targets by foot? & on his non-preferred side?
He is an everywhere-type player, can play forward, through the middle or across half back, he is the definition of a Utility player. Don't classify him as mid just yet as his engine isn't up to scratch at the moment. Think he'll be used up forward for the first year or two with maybe a few stints through the middle. Then again he could he used across half back which is where Shifter seems to like him playing.
No joke, Ziebell could probably kick a footy into a wheelie bin from 50+ metres on either foot consistantly, he is that good with his disposal. One of, if not the best player by foot off both feet in the draft for mine.
He is a pure footballer just like Gibbsy.
from what i have seen his skills are immaculate on both sides...i can only see him getting better with his skills.
Where do we sign??
Isnt there some sort of dotted line? or is that a rumour?
Sign here if ud like

Hardness, bottom of the pack type ball-winner with such target hitting ability by foot, engine comes from 3 AFL pre-seasons, besides, you had me at

National draft is in November but Williams has already declared his hand at this early stage?
Cruiser/BlueYoss/any other draft gurus, the more I hear about Ziebell the more I think he sounds like a Hodge prototype.
Hard, tough utility with sublime footskills... Are these the sort of things we were hearing about Hodge pre-draft? Is there any merit in that comparison or am I being unfair?

I haven't seen any of them play, live or on Foxtel, please don't rely on anything I say about any draftees

Now that I've gotten my disclaimer out of the way, mark him in for Norm Smith Medal 2010 in Carlton's 17th premiership side
I'd be gutted if this was true. Really want this kid.
It's hard to compare prospects with current AFL players, it can get you into a little trouble because you can over-rate/under-rate the player. Saying that though, i can see Hodge-like traits as well as Gibbs-like traits in him.

Ahh ok.
I think we should go with Sidebottom. From what i've seen from draft camp results and in the TAC Grand Final he could be a great CHF for us

He's a midfielder ?
Who? The Essendon coaching panel or Essendon fans on Big Footy??
99.5% of posters on Big Footy havent got the first clue how the top 10 will pan out
i think if hurley is gone, we should pick up trengrove. Will be a gun KPP, and was looking as a top 5 draft pick before his injury. PLUS HAS MORE PACE THAN HURLEY!!!
Wouldn't bank on anything until after this week is over they could still very well trade for Alan Didak or another star player.
I'm confident they'll take Vickery
