Meet Christian Howard

Howard has shot up in recent times and now looks certain to be drafted. His foot skills are regarded among the best in the draft. He was Glenelg's designated kicker during its 2009 under-18 premiership season. A dashing half-back with good endurance, Howard simply got better as the year went on. One recruiter is adamant he will be a top-30 selection. Howard has also been mooted with the Western Bulldogs, Adelaide, Melbourne, North Melbourne, Hawthorn and Brisbane Lions.

(according to Burgan)

Never heard of him,

or any other player in this draft apart from Scully.

 

[doggies ftw]

The surprise packet from the Bay looks like being midfielder Christian Howard, who plays a swooping role off half back similar to Hawthorn’s Luke Hodge.

According to Phillips, Howard has ``come from nowhere’’ to be one of the draft’s leading prospects.

``I reckon he’ll maybe go in the first round,’’ Phillips said.

``He’s come from nowhere, a left-footer who kicks the ball beautifully.

``He was getting his 10 touches a game at under-18 level early in the year but by the end of the season his stats were up to 20 possessions a game and he was using it.’’

It seems we have gone a bit early on nabbing these players.

But ah well, guess we will see how it turns out in a few years.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

We got Tutt for our next pick, thought we would have got him later.....

 

[Tom Fraser]

WTF is all that is needed

 

[stefoid]

Footskills are the new black?

 

[Butane]

Bump this thread in a few years.

Our recruiting team obviously see something in him and that exciting enough for me!

man WTF, wasnt tutt expected to go around pick 60? i just hope they know what they are doing with out scotty clayton.

 

[divvydan]

Can't find any footage of him, doesn't help that he wasn't in the carnival, will keep looking

 

[100action]

so christenson was expected to go late second round and tut was expected go late-rookie. This looks really bad from an uninformed perspective, considering we could have used pick 31 on howard and a 3rd rounder on tutt...

What a shit draft!

Why?

These predictions were made by journalists mate. Howard apparently wasn't going to be around at our second pick. And in my opinion on Tutt, I think the club paid the right price for him as I really rate him. I'm not sure why we have two half backs though. Maybe Howard could develop in some other position.

i cant believe we let black go through christenson would still be there at 31
