Alex Dodson
STRENGTHS: + Clean hands + Follow-up work + Mobility + Size + Upside IMPROVEMENTS: – Exposure – Forward craft There is no denying the upside Dodson presents given how much footballing development he has missed. Not only that, but athletic 203cm talents don’t grow on trees, let alone ones with clean fundamental skills and mechanics. […]
Harrison Oliver
STRENGTHS: + Intercepting + Kicking + Reading the play + Toughness + Vision + Work rate IMPROVEMENTS: – Accumulation – Four-quarter consistency Oliver’s bread and butter is distributing the ball by foot.

He is often entrusted with the kick-in duties and distributes the ball beautifully. It’s no wonder, then, that he opted […]
Xavier Ivisic
STRENGTHS: + Footy IQ + Inside-outside balance + Running capacity + Work rate IMPROVEMENTS: – Contested work – Impact per possession Xavier Ivisic is a midfielder whose running capacity sets him apart. Capable of driving his legs to the outside and spreading harder than others, he has also worked on becoming a more prominent figure […]
