Will Hoskin-Elliott in detail

Will Hoskin-Elliott is a clean forward/midfielder from the Western Jets who people have been talking about for a few years now.

Hoskin-Elliott has all the attributes coaches love in a footballer; he wins his own ball, uses both sides of his body as required, keeps his feet and is a one touch player. That combination is a sought after one which is because players like this rarely turn the ball over.

I like Hoskin-Elliott long term as a midfielder resting at half forward rather than the other way around. Elliott is capable of setting up so much play for other midfielders and forwards from the engine room that it would be a waste to see him spending too much time up forward, even if he is dangerous when there.

Hoskin-Elliott is certain round 1 draft pick and more than likely will go in the top 10.
