PROFILE:

The club that drafts Jasmine Evans will know exactly what they are going to get. She has some really clear defined strengths and improvements which will give her future side plenty to work with both ways. To get to know Evans' game you have to break it down into the various segments, starting with her greatest asset - her ball use.

Evans is simply an elite kick of the football. She uses it so well, and combined with her decision making can hit passes that few others in the draft crop can. The South Australian is capable of nailing those 45-degree kicks across her body and winning a couple of touches in a play to drive the ball forward. If she is within scoring range, she only needs a split second to do maximum damage.

Her outside game as a whole is brilliant. From playing on a wing, to half-forward, and even deep forward, Evans is capable of the incredible. She does not need a lot of disposals to hurt the opposition, with just 9.8 per game at SANFLW level, but she averaged more than a goal per game and clunked 3.2 marks in that time as well.

Switching from the outside to inside is where Evans has much improvement to make. Though the saying goes 'you don't park your Ferrari in the garage', the silky-skilled top-ager can still add that element to her game in order to improve. Her contested work and defensive pressure are extra strings to add to her bow with perhaps the latter a more pressing area of improvement.

Tackling was something Evans wanted to target coming into the year, and it is still a deficiency, averaging the 1.6 tackles across her 33 games at SANFLW and AFLW Under 18 Championships combined. She is definitely more of a damaging player with ball in hand than one trying to win it back off the opposition, but in an age of forward pressure, will be an element to develop.

The other main area of improvement comes in her athleticism, with her speed and agility lower than others, but it does not effect her as she has that 'slowing time' element made famous by Scott Pendlebury. Able to turn on a dime without actually moving much, Evans can wrong foot her opponents and then hit up a pass 20m away with ease.

That is why despite having those improvements, Evans is a player with enormous upside thanks to her attributes. Her skills, decision making and vision make her a high impact-per-possession player, and the fact she can go forward and hit the scoreboard even while playing off a wing is testament to her smarts in the front half.

No doubt quite a few clubs will be keen to add the class that Evans possesses, with inside ball-winning players a lot easier to find than outside stars with her level of skill and poise. With further development and in an elite environment, the ceiling for Evans is endless and she could become one of the most watchable players from this draft.
