Addinsall has made his name as an accumulator who covers plenty of ground each time he takes the field. His production as a pure midfielder high-level, as evidenced by his average 32 disposals and 7.7 clearances per three Coates Talent League games this year. He also led all comers in the AFL Academy's second game, against Richmond VFL, exhibiting his ability to rack up possessions in all parts of the ground on that day.

A significant aid to Addinsall's ball winning ability is his running power. He gets involved in transitional chains, able to run in waves and support teammates in driving the ball forward. Further to that, he works hard to get from contest to contest, where he is just as capable of finding the pill. Addinsall's stoppage craft is as polished as they come, showcasing terrific footy IQ in his positioning and crumbing anticipation.

He always seems to shark the ball on the move with one-touch handling. That allows him to carve through traffic and exit the contest untouched, often hitting a slick pass before following up in support. He is willing to go by hand or foot, and uses both sides of his body to execute the most effective disposal possible. It's something Addinsall has worked on this year - driving his legs to become more damaging on the way out.

Being quite low to the ground in his movement, Addinsall is evasive and agile. His spatial awareness and vision make up for a relative lack of explosive speed, with the midfielder instead relying on his smarts. While he has worked on making himself more dangerous out of the contest, Addinsall can continue to enhance his hurt factor. As it stands, he his a high-volume handballer, and while he has good foot skills, may not be as penetrating as others.

Developing his kicking power and utilising his dual-sided foot skills more often will help boost Addinsall's impact-per-possession. He has spent plenty of time rotating forward throughout his junior career, too, so can hurt the opposition by hitting the scoreboard - as proven during his Under 16 carnival. Addinsall also has a well-rounded athletic profile, not only running the combine's fifth-best 2km time trial (6:15), but also achieving top 10 finishes in both of the jumping tests. There are some weapons to work with.
