Overall

Rounds is a player I haven’t seen much of , but from what I have seen looks like he has good enough scope and range of attributes to develop into a more than handy hard working AFL wingman, at worst he’ll be a solid squad player as his ethic seems excellent and all character reports are excellent. Worth investing at the mid to back end of the draft as a bottom ager.
