What are peoples thoughts on Jed Anderson? Is he worth downgrading our pick 9 for say pick 12 if we can add him to the deal?

Shuttle runs are good but players need to be more well rounded with their running.
Here is one to aim for.
Tim O'Brien
193.2cm tall, 5mtr 1.07 70% 10mtr 1.75 73% 20tmr 2.94 78% Agility 8.30 98% and Shuttle run 12.5
I rate repeat sprints highly because it shows the players ability to get to a contest and push hard for the 2nd and 3rd effort and O'Brien went 25.19 87%
Once he improves his fitness level (and that will come) he has the ideal balance of speed and agility for a player of his size. His marking is a feature as well.
Anyway, I won't bore you all with stats. They are really just tie breakers after all.

Luckily club's don't take player's,just on there combine result's .
O'brien is certainly an athlete,but he does lack in contested ball winning,and hardness.
Just saw Shane Nelson's sprint times and boy is he a jet, 2.82 for the 20 metre and 24.31 in the repeat sprints. I remember Emma Quayle being quizzed on why he was overlooked and she referred to his dodgy kicking, this being despite a 29/30 in the kicking test.
Thought I'd delve deeper and check out his WAFL stats and was shocked to find he averaged 25 disposals (equal 1st for West Perth) and chimed in with 11 goals. I can't find the DE stats so I'm curious to know if any of the WAFL experts could pass comment on his footskills when playing for West Perth this season.
On raw numbers alone, he'd almost be certainty to be drafted, perhaps even as high as the second round.

Compare to Nahas. What do the students think?

I think those stats are from last year and could be a bit misleading given he had a virus just prior to the Combine, his frame appears to have filled out a bit this year and I'm only guessing but I reckon he's already put on an additional 5kg. One thing's for certain, he's a ball magnet and has already racked up a lazy 42 possessions in one match for West Perth. I reckon it will ultimately come down to kicking efficiency and that's why I'm curious to know what some of the boys in the West think.
