Height: 180.2cm
Weight: 83.2kg
Preferred foot: Left
Playing Style: quarterback HBF/Outside/Inside midfielder
Potential: 7.5-8/10
Strengths
> Very good ethic – highly competitive - team player – asked to play BP on Yarran vs WA and nullified him – stuck to him like glue
> Good spoiler
> Hard at the footy
> Very good footskills – LF but has a RF if needed – accurate (often laser-like), low trajectory, good DM/vision and very good penetration
> Very good vision
> Strong bodied, contests the footy very well 1-1 and very well balanced
> Footy smart – very good positioning and is a genuine ball magnet
> Clean ball handling off the ground
> Decent overhead for his size – reads the flight well and has a big reach advantage for his height
> Highly credentialed – high level of production - VC best player has won quite a few awards at
Weaknesses
> Sub 180cm
> Looks like he lacks a yard of pace on-field (although lateral movement/agility is fine) – but tested better than expected and good scope to improve as skinfolds are very high
> Bodyshape - turned up with the highest skinfolds at 2008 DC
> Not a routinely efficient tackler (quite a few tend to slip past him, not through lack of effort, more technique wise – has a tendency to tackle above the hips)
Other
> Inside/clearance ability doesn’t stand out and I don’t find him routinely reliable or damaging by hand in congestion – could play stints in the midfield, but I don’t expect him to be outstanding enough to be a ‘full time’ midfielder
> Needs to be fed to be most effective
Overall
Suban is one of the safer bets of this draft. I’m confident he’ll be at least a solid defensive quarterback that launches attacks off HBF with his well tuned left foot, but I wouldn’t be drafting him with the intention of making him a midfielder – although most seem to think his midfield potential is much better than I do. I think he’s worth an early 2nd rounder – possibly very late 1st round at a stretch.
