it has been around this time that "Kosi" will headbutt a fence, rip a hamstring or belt someone.

When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss
83kg and 187, that's wirey, but pretty good. Big fan of seeing work rate mentioned as a strength, such an important factor in todays game.plugger66 wrote:Sounds like a ready to go build.AP Erebus wrote:off afl.com

His profile mentions work rate, clean hands and versatility all big ticks in my book.
Best of luck to Seb. Hope he can get some game time.

Pick 31 – Essendon
A lot of people have Ross pegged for Essendon at 19 but personally I think that is too high for him. He should last to here on draft day and if he does this pick does have a lot of romance to it and I can see it happening. Ross fits the needs of Essendon for an inside ball winner.

Ross has improved a great deal over the last couple of years and really made a name for himself at TAC level averaging 25 disposals per game. He has worked very hard to improve his endurance levels to the point where they are now pretty good. The kid is not a natural endurance athlete but he has worked on his gut running and now it is at a level where I am comfortable that he can develop into an AFL player. I still have some concerns about his ability to step up in class to AFL level but he has at least answered one of the major question marks people had.
As mentioned I do have some concerns about how he will step up. I thought he was pretty invisible at the Champs this year in situations tailor made for him to shine. Even against the Div 2 teams I thought he didn’t really do anything to indicate that he could make a significant impact at AFL level. He had plenty of time onball and managed to average only 14.5 disposals per game.
At TAC level he played again mostly as an inside out midfielder although he also showed that he is a capable forward. He is around the ball a lot and when he gets his hands on the ball shows elite awareness of where everyone is. He gets out balls to guys who you wonder how he knew they were there let along got them the ball. He clears his arms well in contests and delivers a very nice handball. He is not super clean in the contest though and can fumble it a bit.
His kicking is often seen as a strength of his game but it is an area I also think he will need to be worked on at the next level. He is a left footer who has really nice feel with his kicks but he rarely kicks with much velocity. He will float the ball up a bit and weight the pass. This works fine at underage level but with the closing speed of AFL players it can be asking for trouble. I think it will take time but I believe he should be able to flatten his kicking out fine. He has pretty good style, decision making and touch and I think it will be a matter of just working on punching it in there more.
He is tenacious and is a guy you know is going to work really hard for you and leave it all on the field. He is an able tackler but not what I would call a strong tackler. He is not often brushed but guys can ride out his tackles and free themselves to get the ball away.
At AFL level I think he will start on a flank either up forward or down back with the likelihood that he will move to more of an inside role as he develops physically. His skills are solid or better than that and he has shown an ability to find the ball (at least at TAC level). There are a few like him in this draft and not all of them are going to get picked but I think his attitude and the development curve of the Watson family (he is Jobe’s cousin) will encourage teams to take a punt on him.
