Needs some personalized training with DV.

Don't mind him, but do think we jumped the gun and could have gotten him much later.

take whoever is as the top of your draft board.
playing guess work on other teams draft board and not taking who you rate most is just crazy.

 

[Doashuey]

Aside from his kicking and reading the play/fall of the ball, I really like his calmness and decision making. The very good footballers always look like they have all the time in the world and he has that quality. One of the things I like about Willie.

Agree, what’s the catch? Why wasn’t he as highly rated this year

 

[jesterwester]

Was trying to work out who his kick reminded me of as it looked very familiar- looked very Daniel Kerr ish. The kick for goal especially.

Like his kick and side step so shows he’s not afraid to take the game on. Must admit I don’t know a whole lot about him as I wasn’t expecting him to be picked by us- but welcome to the club Xavier!

 

[Art OF war]

He can kick on both feet with great penetration. Truly is the love child of Hurn and Shuey.

 

[plays tall 1]

Highlights look solid but I’m a little concerned he doesn’t seem to have been rated highly in Victoria after playing his entire junior career there. Surprised with this pick but I guess our recruiters have a few credits in the bank.

 

[Biggie]

Pretty excited by this pick I must say.

Looks to be suited to the Simmo Style of gameplan.

You know, the one that won us a flag?

No idea, we will find out in due course.
Unfortunately they're not machines but humans and much can go wrong in the process,
much stuff can go right too...

Exacto mundo Mr. Biggie!!

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Looks good in his highlights.
Clean hands, good awareness and kicking looks effortless.

To echo someone else's question, why wasn't he rated higher? What's the weaknesses?

 

[WCErevival]

I'm far from an expert but he didnt seem to play in the u18 champs where as most other top picks did. Maybe thats why he wasn't rated. May have gone under the radar

Probs also went under the radar due to him averaging 20 possessions max.

He is known for jack of all trades master of none. Though I see his kicking test result lead to him being an elite kick which I think where he will excel and why eagles picked him.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

He's got all the attributes that we could want in a midfielder at that draft range. Welcome, X! Reckon he'll do amazing things here.

How's that left peg holy jesus

In a year where it was not a super draft, this guy is a top 10 pick.

He is very composed and looks like a smart footballer ..
