2012 Player Review - # 47 Tom Couch

Tom's had a really consistent VFL year, playing as an inside mid. He's always had the ability to win his own footy, and win the contested ball, but to his credit he's really developed his outside game as well. He now runs and covers the ground like an AFL player, and because of that, he was able to earn three AFL games in the second half of the year as a rookie. Tom's a strong body, it's his first year on an AFL list, and what he's been able to get out of himself this year has been outstanding. The most pleasing thing about Tom is that he has just played consistent footy, week after week. There's been a very small gap between his best and his worst. Tom's still working on his ball efficiency, but he's really improved his clearance work, and his defensive pressure and his defensive intent - they're things that are going to make him a very good player in the future.
