Claremont premiership Colt Hugh Boxshall is being considered a potential top 40 draft prospect after storming home with a wet sail in his top-age campaign. The midfielder missed out on a National Draft Combine invite, but dominated WA's state meet to post overall podium finishes in the 2km time trial (6:08), agility test (7.980 seconds), and standing vertical jump (73cm).
Boxshall's endurance base is arguably his most desirable trait, as he leans on his running capacity to impact around the ground, adding to his dominant clearance work. At 188cm, he has the size to stand up in tackles and distribute from the coalface, boasting a clean set of hands to shark the rucks' taps having protected the drop zone with his big frame.
An average of 25 disposals per his seven WAFL Colts appearances this year attests to Boxshall's strong ball winning acumen. He can perhaps become a little more expansive and versatile when it comes to his ball use and metres gained on the outside, though is capable of taking unbelievably brave over head marks and kicking the ball neatly going inside 50.
Boxshall's late rise this year started at the National Championships, where he played the last three games for WA with averages of 18 disposals and five marks. He slotted in rather seamlessly to the Black Swans' engine room, adding an edge at the contests and meeting the required work rate. He capped off his year with 30 touches in Claremont's Colts Grand Final victory.

Re: Hugh Boxshall
Is this the replica of Garcia? Strengths and weaknesses the same, missed the combine, trade into the draft to take the pick?

Re: Hugh Boxshall
That 4th round effectively has no value.
So St Kilda has probably traded away a mid 2nd round pick so late 30s for pick 45 this year but also for a player they wanted.

Re: Hugh Boxshall
A mid 2nd round pick is barely a pick of value these days tbh.
Next years fourth round may be a pick 45, who knows. My view after pick 30 every pick is speculative and no single pick has any value or correlation with success over any other.

Re: Hugh Boxshall
Please be very careful with all encompassing statements like this .... Hear's part of Lachie Neale's Wikipedia entry:
"Neale was drafted to Fremantle with their fourth selection (number 58 overall) in the 2011 AFL draft."
Emphasis is mine ....

How do you pronounce it?
Boxs-hall or Box-shall?
