Kretiuk says: “He’s been drafted already, so he’d have to be No.1 selection.

“He’s just one of those natural footballers we didn’t have to do much work with. His knowledge base about the game was really good.

“He was a pretty easy player to coach because he understood the game so well.

“In saying that, he played school footy for most of the year and obviously had the state carnival (U18 national championships), but when he did play with us he was always up there in the top five or six players.

“He’s got to work a fair bit on his fitness base and his strength, but that will come in time. Obviously now that he’s in the AFL system, he’s going to improve dramatically over the next two or three years.

“He’s hard at work at training already.”
