A developable key position utility out of the Lions Academy, Patrick Snell went from being a forward to a defender this season. It paid dividends, with the 194cm and 86kg tall earning a State Draft Combine invite off the back of some important moments. Though not always consistent, his willingness to provide an aerial contest really stood out, and then when the ball got to ground, Snell would follow up nimbly.

His upside is evident, and along with his versatility, means clubs will look at him as a project player up either end. In terms of improvement areas, his kicking is hit and miss at times as he sometimes hits targets well, but doesn't always find the right range. As a whole, his blend of aerial and ground level stands out, with the Lions potentially able to add him late or onto the rookie list, should he fly under the radar of rival clubs.

DRAFT RANGE: Late/Rookie
