I reckon he would be good at scoring

He can take a mark and is strong unlike Jefferson you can say Grjl has the shades of Blease

Blease was faster than a speeding bullet unfortunately he had the ball in his hand !!!!!!

Maybe, but does he show composure?

And I would be concerned that he may leave some of his work unfinished.

He's one player I haven't made up my mind on yet.

I can’t see how or why the media draft journos and amateur draft podsters are all keen on Schubert to go to the Dees

In my opinion …

He’s shown ability to mark and cover ground as a mobile tall. He’s got forward ability with reach and marking.

But he’s raw. He turns over the footy with lack of composure. His kicking is average. His goalkicking run in is stuttering and not unlike Jesse Hogan but without the solid finish. He needs time. At least a few years of development. I also think there was no real quality tall defenders in the Under 18 championship which helped some of these young forwards look better.

I think we have a few young developing tall forwards, and even if we needed young talls, young Vic pair Louis Emmett and Archie Ludowkye would be better options.

Not sure on the selection here. Depends how we rate our existing young KPFs and how we rate him. The 5 person interchange gives us an extra forward ruck him and JVR as a 2nd ruck. Now listed as 198cm may grows a tad more.

Depends to some extent whether King wants a fresh forward look. Kosi mainly mid dropping forward, Dovestan to move into a forward role. Petty to go back and maybe Schubert to play that extra tall crash agile KPF/ruck?

Has all the right plusses except rookie me suggest composure needs improvement.

In the end it will probably be where we rate him in the draft and how we rate our up and comer KPF's. We have 2, 1st rounders next year. It also depends to some smaller extent what is available 1st round next year.

With outrageous money being paid to bring a good player in probably best not to pinch a proven KPF/ruck from another club.

No way we could afford to pay a De Koning type salary.

I am not ruling him out.
