An athletic 199cm ruckman from South Australia with room to grow who had some injury concerns in 2021/2 ~ Will Verrall

“… his best, Will Verrall is as good as (Harry) Barnett. So (AFL) clubs are doing some work on Will Verrall now based on what he did as a 17-year-old, knowing it was at a really high level.” - Tony Bamford SA Under 18 State Coach.

 

Vision looks good almost like LJ.

Yes. That’s a good pick. Plenty of time to develop 

 

 

I'm voting to bring the mullet back.

 

 

 

I don't know if Ron Burgundy still posts on Demonland, but if he starts talking about Will Verrall, I'm going to be most confused.

He’s a giant and not unlike a Luke Jackson type of kid.  

Poor man’s Jack Fitzpatrick. With development resources tied up in Jefferson, Adams and Big Kyah I’m a little surprised we went for a rookie teen ruck after years of not making it a priority.

His hands look pretty good overhead.

Can't remember but was Fitzy a one or two grabber???

3 grabs, a tunnel ball and a chronic illness per marking contest

So to be fair, Verrall is an upgrade.

Unfortunatly Jack Fitzpatrick had health issues and never reached his potential due to the fact he was a diabetic which meant he always had to watch his diet and insulin levels.

In 2021 Aaron Bradtke was the project ruckman.

Will Verrell looks further advanced at this stage.

welcome to the Gawn/Grundy ruck academy, soak it all in.

Only 1 year since Bradke delisted not "after years of not making it a proriory".Kyah  is this replacement not Verrall.
How many years has Verrall played?
