Rookie Draft Pick 9 - Fraser Thurlow
Essendon has selected Fraser Thurlow with selection 9 in the 2013 Rookie Draft.
Height:199cm
Weight: 100kg
Born: 6/1/93
Home club: Labrador
Bio: Mobile ruckman/key forward who is strong overhead and reads the game well. Has strong work ethic and is extremely competitive by nature. Produced his best in the representative game between the NEAFL and SANFL at Under-22 level with a best-on-ground performance.
Adrian Dodoro says: He was probably the last of the developed ruckman at just under 200cms and played at Labrador this year. He has a very good vertical leap, is physically very strong and we needed to bank him straight away today. He was our first priority and getting him we were relieved. He will be able to play next year if he is called upon.
