STRENGTHS: + Aerial ability + Athleticism + Competitiveness + Reading the play + Resilience + Versatility IMPROVEMENTS – Decision making – Durability Plenty out of Gippsland for many years have raved about Tauru’s potential and why he was worth persisting with.

Josh Smith
A big-bodied forward/ruck, Smith is undersized for a ruck at AFL level so will likely end up predominantly as a forward, who can pinch-hit in the ruck. Smith’s best traits are his contested marking and physicality, regularly booting goals and providing a presence inside 50. When he is not clunking marks, he is bringing the […]

Ryan Sparkes

He takes the game on and generally uses the ball pretty well, finding space around the ground to average 63.5 per cent by foot from 37.3 per cent contested. He has to build his inside game, but […]
