Player Watch Pick #33 (2016) - Willem Drew

[carnthemaggies]

another monster midfielder. our midfield is going to be big in two or three years

Yes. This guy has really good hands but not sure of his attack on the ball. If Ollie can have an influence though he could get more grunt in his game. It's exciting - Ollie, atley, drew, spp - all good size.

why did he not do to well at the national champs? Can he compete with the best?

Played away from the midfield.

Highlights are fairly meh. Looks alright in link up play though. Could see him being pushed out to half back/wing. Not for his pace though.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

My favourite of our picks and I really like all our picks.

 

[FishingRick04]

Can he and all our recruits play on the half back flank though?

Rickster ... wherever you are ... go to bed.

 

[Needs Gravy]

Really excited by this years draft selections but especially Drew. Would have been happy if we had have spent our original 9 on him. Going to make watching the maggies this year that bit more intersting.

Watching highlights of players whose main strength is getting the footy can be a bit meh, but that's the type of player we need.

Not opposed to him getting picked at all. I agree Hinkley going with 3 mids is a great idea as that's a major weakness of ours.

 

[Asgardian]

Again the guys in the know, especially Knightmare really rate the guy, so I'm happy, welcome Willem

Excellent pick, you're either in love with how he plays or you're not, I'm on the bandwagon

Going by the highlights, I am. I reckon it'll be slit down the Hoffmann lovers and haters line.

 

[Rexie J]

Would be great if the lad is given jumper #40

 

[Nemisis]

Willem who? Willem Drew!

 

[Wargreymon90]

Uncle drew

however I get an internal "knock" of satisfaction when I see such acts performed well

 

[Powerstufff]

Love his hands.

Always good when we pick a player with hands.

Per the Herald Sun's See who your club picked and what to expect in our AFL Draft club-by-club analysis

"... The freckly Willem Drew plays onball and is taller than most." Reminds me of the Spinal Tap review that declared them one of the most punctual of rock bands.

 

[philreich]

Close game at Adelaide Oval in 2017. Crowd support for the boys will be vital: hopefully it'll be enough to Willem over the line.

I'll get my coat.

 

[Magus]

Which one will he be? Only time will tell.

 

[jac147]

Give the man a cigar!! Pretty happy

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I absolutely love his one grab ability with the ball on the deck and players all around. Very smart and instinctual.

 

[VineValerian]

Can he and all our recruits play on the half back flank though?

Or KPF like Brett Ebert

 

[Powerstufff]

... instinctual.

Edit: OK Honeyboy Wilson turns out you're right, I'm wrong. It actually is a word.
