Overall

Gach Nyuon is one of our favourite long term options in this draft, a late comer to the game, Nyuon has shown signs that he could develop into the love child of Paddy Ryder and Mark Blicavs, which if he does, it will be a beautiful thing.

Currently he is a high leaping athletic ruckman who is managing to beat bigger opponents while providing a link up target around the ground.

What he could develop into though is more exciting than that. Nyuon over the long term could become a great wingman, he is clean at ground level and is already proving a great linkman playing in the ruck. The only thing he needs to polish up on slightly is his footskills.

If Gash doesnโ€™t make that transition, we still expect him to be a more than capable AFL ruckman and for this reason alone expect him to get drafted in the early thirties of the 2015 AFL draft.
