There have been plenty of prospects fly under the radar through injury this year, Felix Kneipp being one of them. The Calder Cannons running machine missed four months through a stress response in his back having also had an interrupted preseason. It meant he sat out the National Championships, but finished the season strongly with consecutive 30-plus disposal games.
Kneipp's endless endurance tank lends to his strong accumulation factor. He racks up possessions with relative ease, helping transition either out of the contest or end-to-end through constant motion. With ball in hand, Kneipp prides himself on being able to hit targets with efficient skills and decision making, opening up the game and continuing to follow up his initial efforts.
At 179cm, he has been working on implementing more power and speed to his game in order to thrive in midfield. His running power means he can also play negating roles, which aids that cause. Extracting maximum damage from his possessions is another area that will help Kneipp take his game to the next level, as he is moreso a high-volume type who kills via a thousand cuts.
