[FONT=Verdana,Arial,sans-serif]“His composure, his attack on the footy, his speed, his kicking under pressure, his ability to kick goals when they really counted in the final game, his work through the midfield … he just glides over the ground beautifully,” Sheahan said.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,sans-serif]“He’s got all the attributes. And at 185cm he’s that lovely size who you’d thing is going to develop into a perfect midfielder for AFL.”[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana,Arial,sans-serif]“No doubt he’s special kid and he’s got all the attributes. He’s quick, he’s got good skills, he’s footy smart, he runs to good spots, and he’s a young fella who kicks over 50m. How many guys do you see who do that at his age?” he said.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana,Arial,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
 [FONT=Verdana,Arial,sans-serif]“In his second game in the seniors against Wilston-Grange he carried the ball out of the back half, had a few bounces and kicked a goal from the 50m line. I’ve not seen anyone do that in our competition this year.”[/FONT]

You guys nailed it.

Just signed a 3 year deal with the Suns. One of our QLD Zone Selections.

Touted to go in the top 10 of the draft in the Gold Coast Bulletin. Anyone know if that's the case?

Great for Alex if true. How reliable is your source? If true expect to see him as top up player for them in this weeks first NEAFL final!

Top 10 seems a bit high based on performances in 18s carnival this year, although obviously had exceptional div 2 carnival last year as overage player and been in AIS this year, trained with suns over summer, and had a couple of good games for suns as top up player recently which all would help his chances getting listed with suns.

If you have good sources, any word on any other possible Qld zone selections for Suns - eg Yagmoor, Michael, Allen etc have all been mentioned as possibilities at one time or another?????
 
thanks - too busy to look at AFL site so far today - if been released publically must be correct. Interesting been announced already

As I understand it still have zone priority again for next years draft (ie for 2011 and 2012 drafts), and then following year switches to academy system where Lions, Suns, Swans and GWS will be able to preferrentially list players from their zone under similar rules to the current father son system?
