Pick 16 - Tom Sheridan - 18yrs, 185cm - has had a very consistent year coming 2nd in the Calder Cannons best and fairest despite missing games for his Vic Metro championship commitments. Tom plays as a running midfielder/wingman. His main strength is his endurance in games and backed up by a 9min 58sec 3km time trial and a 15.7 beep at draft camp. He is a very smart footballer with extremely clean and quick hands with great vision. He glides across the ground at high speed. Skills by foot are sound. Tom averaged 24.4 touches a game, 4.7 tackles, 3.8 clearances and 4 marks at TAC level.
