Weight: 72kg
Preferred foot: Right
Position: Wing
Potential: 5.5-7/10
Strengths
No standout strengths
Weaknesses
> For a predominantly outside link/ball carrying midfielder he is slow pace-wise off the mark
> Slim build – would need at least another 10kg to be competitive for his role at AFL
> Very vanilla and lacks any hurt factor in his game
Other
> Neat right foot kick over short-medium range, however doesn’t possess penetration in his kicking beyond 50m, often somewhat high trajectory
> Composed and sound DM with the ball
> OK, but doesn’t find as much of the ball as you would expect of someone with such a good fitness base – 19.6Dpg at TAC Cup level and <12dpg at U18 Championships level
> Sound spoiling ability – has reach advantage for his height
Overall
Cowan is an OK link up wingman prospect but IMO there are no standout features of his game - personally I wouldn’t look at drafting him at all, as I struggle to see him being more than a fringe player at best. However, it seems he is a likely draftee as a possible 3rd rounder.
