Trent Dumont

[MadAsHell 4,217]

As for our 2nd round selection, Trent Dumont is one player who I would love to see fall to our pick if Dunstan and Sheed go earlier then the AFL website suggests as many of us suspect.

184cm, 84kg. Strong bodied running half back who can also play as an inside mid and has a really good kick on him. I'd compare him to a more polished Nathan Wright at St Kilda. Would start half back but will eventually play in the midfield, either inside or off a wing. Could stay at HBF also if need be.

Any of our SA supporters know anything more about him and if he'd be a good addition. From the bits I have seen of him I like.

I have just watched the replay of the first half of the SANFL GF and was really impressed with this kid - more so than Aish. He's a hard nut, not afraid and has quick hands. Apparantley has had injury problems and seen by some as a one dimensional inside player. Was likened to Ollie Wines (is his name allowed to be mentioned without mentioning JT?)

Anyone see the game and/or know any more about him?

If i had to guess at anything I suggest its this type of player we may well end up going for with what picks remain . As we're looking to ditch pick2 its these 2nd rounder types that will excite the FD. Not so glamorous but very productive.

Yeah, I've been impressed with what I've seen from Dumont all year, he is just the type of player we need.

Dumont is not bad.

Good size, puts his body in, gets in the right spots, finds the contested footy.

His disposal is a bit workmanlike at times, doesn't have the class of Aish.

A good get for a 2nd round pick.

How are his hands, M? Just workmanlike? Sounds like Sewell otherwise.

[Machsy 2,858]

His hands are ok.

Get the ball, doesn't fumble too much, handballs ok.

It's the difference in disposal between him and a really top class kid like Aish.

They both hit the target, but Aish will hit you perfectly in stride with the ball softly rotating the right way to be collected easily.

You know, Dumont looks a little rushed, but Aish looks like he had exactly the amount of time to do what he needed to do.

A bit of hyperbole in there, but it should give you an idea of what I mean.

Its called being a skirt rider.
