Great get and a steal!

A teammate of Billy Stretch at Glenelg and I was a big fan of his but never thought he would last till pick 40!

    This is from Paige Cardona's final Phantom Draft where she predicted him to go at #21.

    Alex Neal-Bullen

    Position: Midfielder
    Height: 182 cm, Weight: 77 kg, DOB: 09/01/1996
    Club: Glenelg
    Plays like: Dane Swan

    There’s plenty to love about Alex Neal-Bullen, who’ll slot in just nicely as a big bodied inside midfielder next to Luke Dunstan. Unrighteously overlooked for an All-Australian jumper off the back of a super national championships, Alex Neal-Bullen is one of the more fancied inside midfielders that offers bang for buck. Forced to play predominantly forward with cameo appearances through the midfield in 2013, Neal-Bullen has since stamped himself as a bona fide ball-winning machine for Glenelg. It’s difficult for some players to find another level post-championships, but that is exactly what Neal-Bullen has done. Coming into the championships, Neal-Bullen averaged 15 disposals per game, but has since averaged 24 per game on return. Neal-Bullen is a competitive beast: he hunts the ball, he’s assertive at the stoppages and his repeat tackling efforts – which usually stop the opposition in their tracks – makes him a coach pleaser. He is deceptively quick, and has a lot of Dane Swan about him in the way he collects the ball and arches his back, creating separation to break away from a contest. He is versatile enough to play off half back and half forward, and has a big tank that allows him to cover so much of the ground. He rated among the best in his endurance, running a third-best overall three-kilometre time trial of 9:54 at the combine, while he came equal-fifth with a level 15.2 beep test

    Looks like a huge steal judging by his combine & champs stats.

    Top 5 in both the 3km time trial and beep test is quality.

    SA won the national carnival and he was one of their key midfielders (along with Stretch).

    The only other SA midfielder to go before him was Hamilton one pick prior, who Knightmare didn't rate as highly (no where near actually).

    Did we just get a steal??? I bloody hope so!

    Well done Dees!

    His highlights on the mfc website look good - one of those blokes who seem to always have time weaving through traffic. Kicking looks ok, good mark. Might have a steal here

    Struggle to work out why SA smashed the carnival and so few of their players were rated.

    Yeah, I know they were "well-coached", but it must be more than that.

    ANB sounds the sort of mid that brings others into the game.

  • Quote

    Could be our Josh Kelly/Corey Enright etc in converting to half back.

    Judging by his twitter photo I'd leave the misses in South Australia ANB

  • Quote

    How many mids can a team have? Where will Tompas end up?

    On the outside feeding the forwards as is his want. This bolstering of inside mids will be the making of him and Salem

    I like what I see, reminds me of a young Dogga Brown.

    Welcome to the Dees Alex thought we had missed our chance at getting him when we traded pick 23 for Frost but really happy to still manage to get him

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
