Thanks willo! Have been reading a lot over the last few years but barely posting.
Turns out I was wrong and there were 2 others started at the same time for Tyler.
Tyler Sonsie
Height: 181cmWeight: 77kg
D.O.B: 27-01-2003
POSITION: Balanced Midfielder
SNAPSHOT: “A clean and damaging player possessing the best two-sided kick in the draft pool, Sonsie is a stoppage specialist with slick hands and smarts who can also go forward and kick goals.”
Tyler Sonsie is a balanced midfielder able to win clearances in close, but also hurt the opposition on the outside with his clean and crisp skills. Proving he could match it against senior players with a 24 disposal and two goal game in his only VFL outing for Box Hill, he may be one of a few Victorian prospects to debut at AFL level next year. Likened by recruiters to Richmond champion Trent Cotchin, such a comparison is evident in his stoppage work; able to win first possession with quick anticipation and clean hands to set up midfield thrusts, but also every chance to go forward and kick goals on his right and left boot.
STRENGTHS:
Scoreboard impact
Clean hands
Kicking
Clearances
Composure
Agility
IMPROVEMENTS:
Consistency
Gut running

Leysy likes a rump. I’m looking at the lads neck. That’s a neck that’ll stand on top of a wrecking ball. Think this lad will be a beast. Think Daniel Rich, with skill, not fat and not lazy. Michael Voss at his prime.
I'm a neck man too. With a neck like a bull you can't go wrong.
