DRAFTED FROM: Sturt
After an impressive start to the season in the reserves, Tom Emmett made his SANFL League debut for Sturt in Round 6 and kept his place in the side for the rest of the season.
Emmett showed sharp improvement as the season went on and was a constant threat in front of goal, kicking 15 goals in his last seven games of the season.
His 14 possession, three goal performance in Round 14 v Adelaide against AFL listed opponents earned him the SANFL breakthrough player of the round for that week.
Emmett has missed a lot of footy due to injury and illness but he hit the ground running in his first year in a SANFL program in 2020, averaging 2.4 goals a game in the U18s and 2.0 goals a game at reserves level.
Along with his ability to hit the scoreboard, he is a seriously powerful and physical forward who tackles with aggression.
He is a very strong contest player both in the air and at ground level and has shown significant resilience and determination in his football journey so far.
A mature age player, Emmett has been drafted on the day before his 21st birthday.
