I only saw him as a bit of a highlights player but he had a few moments in the state game playing HBF where he looked very good. Had one bit were he smashed into the Vic player (in a pack) took the ball off him, ran off handballed to another WA player , ran past received the handball and delivered a lace out pass to the forward through traffic.
I haven't seen Boek (or bugger all players for that matter) do that kind of thing. It was the physical attack that won it but the polish after was terrific.
Surprised Freo or WC have not looked at him closer, not sure SOS would take an unproven 27(2018) year old player on but I think he could make a handy rookie for a club...
Ben Saunders at 26 would interest me...looks like he could handle the AFL and seems to be able to lead well and take strong marks one on one....Not true KP but more of that Jack Darling, Jake Stringer type of sized player who would play 3rd tall forward. Be a good player to have as a rookie while Kerr. McKay Jack and Ben Silvagni develop.....
Shane Nelson played well for the WAFL and has been unlucky not to be rookied over the years, probably too late now but I'd love to know why clubs have passed on him given the consistency he has showed....maybe his small frame is the only reason.
