AFL.com compared him to Dal Santo, I would certainly take that if he panned out that way
Would have liked to have seen more on his right foot. He does one right foot chip in that entire video

Guggan was always my preference after Pickett at that draft range, although I thought Laverde was too good to pass up as a slider.
Errr go and throw something at someone.
Why don't you just suck it up and give the kid a chance to prove you wrong and hope to hell he does.
I called Duggan at 11 a long time ago and I'm more than happy to land him. He has a good football brain, he uses it together with a lethal left foot. He's not slow but he's not Pickett quick but so what Pickett doesn't have a left foot that pin points targets over 55 > 60m.
Duggan is also young, almost a year younger than other draftees so room to grow / improve, massive upside.
Anyway the draft is over so get behind all the kids we've just drafted and wish them well.
Been drunk for three months. Came here for the meltdown. Was not disappoint.

Duggan about to be interviewed on 6pr for those interested
Go look at Nelson's highlights and we've picked another player who can kick with both feet. I couldn't tell what his natural side was he was kicking long goals on both sides and hitting targets short and long on either side.

I sucked it up last year with Sheed. I'm sick of sucking it up.
I've never once said he's a bad player, and he was my third preference after Laverde and Cockatoo. AFTER Laverde.
Like several others have said, he'd be a good fit in another team, a team which doesn't already consist of small, slow, uncreative midfielders. I don't think he's the fit for us, but i'll be hoping he comes good regardless. Obviously.
There's a video somewhere where he kicks a couple of goals with his right where he could have used his left.
He looks far more dual-sided than Gaff, for instance.
Yeah hard to tell, isn't it. I don't think we would have taken a risk on Cockatoo - we really seem to look to our second rounders instead for our risk-taking.
Patience, patience.......you must learn patience my fellow Eagles supporter.
Sheed will take 2>3 years to peak, all kids do and hopefully he won't disappoint.
One of the recruiters said recently that people need to drop the "messiah" complex thinking / hoping that a new draftee will make a big impact in year one. If that is the case then the clubs list is in serious trouble.
This season expect / hope Sheed, Colledge, Karpany and Newman to make some increased impact and improve the team. Also all the guys who were injured, Naitanui, Waters and Yeo plus Gaff / Selwood.

Poised kickers is the key.
Not many of our midfielders, if any, are good under pressure. From all accounts Duggan is - though you can never tell until you put them in an AFL context.
Most of our players' skills are decent - until they're under pressure. If Duggan can stayed composed under pressure then he'll make a big difference to our midfield.
It's the 'peak' which worries me with some of these players. The peak could very well be permanent B grade like Masten and Selwood.
For what it's worth, i expect both Sheed and Duggan to play most of the year in the WAFL. Unless our midfielders get hurt, we haven't really got a recent track record of exposing young rookies. I haven't got high expectations for any of them to be honest.
Lambs potential freakish ability and his 193cm frame is what i'm excited about.
I know his parents and they are outstanding people and Liam is by all accounts a very sensible young man. As a "bottom ager" he won the Ben Mitchell medal in the AIS squad as best team-man.
Would have been delighted if he'd made it to Collingwood, but we didn't quite have a pick in the right range. Hope he does very well for you.

Did i miss it or is it still coming up?
Won the Ben Mitchell Medal which is voted by his peers as the person who showed the most "courage, commitment, trust and leadership", excellent qualities and obviously stood out from his team mates.
(Josh Kelly and Daniher have won the award in the past).
Great to see someone with excellent traits such as this to go with his well documents footy smarts and silky left-boot.
All adds up to a great pick at number 11.
