Kretiuk says: “A bit of a smoky. He’s only new to the game, coming from a soccer background three years ago. He was a very good junior soccer player and got taken in by the Caroline Springs footy academy and they’ve done a fantastic job with him.
“He’s got some speed, some real toe, and that ability to sidestep and one thing he really improved on this year was his decision-making and execution.
“In terms of where he was last year and how much he’s improved this year, I think the future is pretty bright for this kid, and if it [getting drafted] doesn’t happen for him this year, I think he’ll be a 19-year-old at the Jets again next year.
“What recruiters saw this year was a fair bit of upside to him and . . . I’m certain he’s going to be the Adam Kennedy [who was drafted by GWS as a 19-year-old] of the draft next year.”
