This kid is a freak. About 190cm (6'3) weighs about 80kg...runs like the wind, skillful on both sides of the body. I have been fortunate enough to train with him and play with him once or twice through the majority of pre-season and this season. Is very highly rated by scouts as they saw the Caulfield v Scotch game where he was clearly best on ground.
Anyones thoughts on how high he will go and what clubs need a player of his calibre??

very versatile player and would make a good running back or third forward maybe . Probably not got a lot of tricks but certainly got pace and good hands. I dont think he will go early around 20 -30 maybe as low as 15 tho it's shaping as an ordinary draft so he might go lower. Scouts have already said 1 player only should come out of S.A this year so they have to come from somewhere.Collingwood might need another backman ,hawthorn,stkilda have some older backmen,adelaide theres a lot of clubs with a need.
 
WEll actually there will be alot more from S.A to name tow that will go very high are Hartlett and Ebert but anyway, he plays abit like Chad Cornes can play anywhere. Would love to have him at Essendon, the only thing he lacks is the x-factor, but is a genuine gun, not exactly match-winner but is the key to Caulfield if that makes sense... Should go around 25-45

why would you say hes not a match winner? id say he fits the position perfectly
 
He is more of a playmaker taht is the start of the link from backline usually. Not really someone that exciting or anything, just classy and gets the job done and creates play from backline...

Hartlett is bottom age and will go high in next years draft. Sandilands is overrated, he didn't even make it into the Vic metro side for the first game, which was a poor side this year in comparison to past years. If he goes it will be due to his attractiveness on paper, with his athletic ability etc... and it will be late draft or rookie

Of course he will go late or rookie, but he is not over- rated he is poorly used in matches not to the best of his ability. On paper he is impressive he looks even better when he used correctly. he is such a versatile player he is often overlooked because he dosnt have one set position. he needs to find where he excells and TELL the staff where he is best utilised.
