Its easy to get carried away with a few youtube clips but wow, he looks like a bit of an excitement machine! We seem to get a steal every draft, Jonathon Marsh may very well be this years. Very Happy

His size (at this age) and natural speed reminds me of Barry Hall. BIG MID who could be a difficult match up in the forward line.

Maybe he can be our Gunston third tall.

give him 2 years to really develop the kid and he will be a Browny, in terms of playing him in a number of positions to suit the needs of the team at any given moment. good flex option even bench player

^Hehe.

Yes.

Hold on to your hats.

Jonathon Marsh
Selection No. 77
Height: 192cm Weight: 87kg DOB: 17 October 1995 Position: Key forward
"Jonathon ran the second fasted 20-metre sprint at the combine history so he's got speed as well as power, explosiveness and agility. Outside of that he's played primarily key position for us up forward at Colts level and there was some debate as to whether we should have played him in the seniors late in the year. He's pretty raw in terms of his game sense so that's a developing area for him but ideally I think he could play as a wingman/high half forward where he could use his chasing and tackling, which is outstanding. His kicking still needs work so that's an area of development...just a classic x-factor sort of player with enormous are talent and the potential to be phenomenal, it's just a matter of harnessing that talent and energy. That'll be the challenge for the club that picks him up. If you had asked me early in the year I would have said he'd be a top 10 pick..." - East Fremantle Football Manager Darren Fry, Inside Football Magazine

He looks like the sort of player who, in a few years, could go kickless in a big final and get subbed off before half time, or else win it for you in ten awesome minutes on the rampage, and leave you completely unsurprised either way. At Pick 77, why wouldn't you have a punt?
