Six draftees set to have an immediate impact at their clubs in 2016
RHYS MATHIESON (Brisbane)
Ball magnet? Tick.
Consistent? Tick.
Hungry? Tick.
Mathieson’s junior footy record is as prolific as it is enlightening. He averaged 25 disposals in the TAC Cup last season, 12 of which were contested.
Brisbane needs players that want to hunt the football and this is Mathieson’s forte. Taken at pick No. 39, Mathieson will feature early on in Brisbane’s 2016 campaign — and much earlier than Brisbane’s prized No. 2 recruit Josh Schache, who still needs time to mature into a key forward.
