STRENGTHS: Kicking, marking, strength
IMPROVEMENTS: Speed, inside game

SUMMARY: Tasmania's second best hope behind Hugh Dixon, Jake Hinds is a Launceston product who managed two games with the Allies at the National Under 18 Championships. He has a penetrating kick coming off half-back and is strong overhead, averaging more than five marks per game for the Allies. He is predominantly outside despite his larger frame, but his biggest knock is his speed. He recorded a 3.46-second 20m sprint, which was the slowest across any of the combines and is an area that needs immediate improvement.
