Daniel Welsh

[Gippsland Dee 367]

6"2', 85kg (no 28) strong mid who plays for the Eastern ranges. Very strong bodied and driven person who goes to my school. Has been named in the best 8 times this year including today in the grand final where he was outstanding kicking 3 goals and was named 2nd best on ground. Today he was great when the game was in the balance and really lifted the team during the 1st and 2nd qtrs. Hits the packs hard and is fearless. Has largely been used as a tagger this year, but he showed what he can do when let free against North Ballarat collecting 28 disposals this year. has played on a number of top prospects keeping them all to far less output than regular, in particular Kade Kolodjashnij who he held to only 11 disposals. He won't be a high draft pick, but may very well be worth a look with a late pick this year, or in the rookie draft.

edit: today he was largely playing on Zac Jones, and from what i could see kept him to little to no influence on the game at all.

Played against him many years when he was at Gembrook and was awesome. He does have a American accent though

So?

[Goat 98]

So?

A fact about him

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Pros - ball winning mid who kicks the odd goal, and already has a defensive side to his game unlike many draftee mids

Cons - American accent

No from me.

yeah, its a speech impediment. Doesn't have any american in him, never been to america, just somehow picked up this accent

That actually happens a lot. I worked with a guy who had a speech impediment when he was younger and he had an accent too. I wonder whether it is due to tapes that teach them to speak coming from the US, or if it's just easier to speak with an American accent

well he has said it was from watching too much tv when he was little, but who knows, it could be from any number of things like what you suggested.

Good size about the kid, really hope he gets picked up for both of your sake

sure every club needing mids would be having a look

[spirit of norm smith 16,589]

rookie option from must view... Swans type

[Goat 98]

Surely you play for Gembrook

[dee-luded 2,959]

probably watches 'the kardashians' way too much.

never know what you can catch from them.

[Gippsland Dee 367]

Surely you play for Gembrook

nup, i'm just good friends with him at school. i've played footy before but not for Gembrook or anywhere close to it.

[Demoneyes 562]

Over it now!

[Gippsland Dee 367]

Daniel will at the very least be playing VFL next year as he has offers from bendio Gold, Box Hill Hawks and The Casey Scorpions and others i think but can't remember them. He has told me that Melbourne has contacted him and talked about recruiting him, although they've only only brief discussions he and has family definitely think its a possibility.

Good size frame on the lad. if he has got what it takes then all the best for him. Would he be a rookie option or in the main draft you reckon?

Thanks for the insight.

I definitely think he's good enough to go in the main draft, He tore the stingrays a new one in the GF. He's driven to get the most out of himself, so if he was to miss the main draft and go in the rookie draft, i think that would just push him on more.

That kicking action looks Dan Nicholson-esque, plus he's got some weird speech thing, plus he's from the Eastern Ranges and I don't trust them.

Combination makes it a no for pick 9

Trust me when i say this, his kicking is very good. i've seen video footage of him and seen him at the GF and from what i've seen very rarely misses his targets.

No one said anything about pick 9, more of a late pick.

[dpositive 1,698]

Good get YD

relevant comments and at least you've seen him play puts you way ahead of Barrett on the other thread.

Nothing wrong with promoting a friend as long as he can play.

I always find your thoughts interesting and never aggressively promoted so keep up the good work
