First Year Players - Ian Callinan

@Dreamteam_Guru’s final look at first year players is for one of his favourite of the 2011 crop. But he is a risk as he is only on the club’s rookie list. Adelaide’s Ian Callinan.
He’s 28 and has been on every scout’s radar since he was 16. The reason he wasn’t picked is his height (or lack of it).  He has been forced to play (very well) for Tasmania in the VFL competition and then Central Districts in the SANFL.  Where he has played, he has brought success.
He will be a forward in this year’s competition, so look at him as this year’s J-Pod.  On the rookie list, but has been picked for a reason.
Rest assured, if he is elevated onto the seniour list, he will play. And although he is listed as a forward, don’t be surprised to see him in the centre square helping out with the mids.
Elite by foot and can read the game very well.  If you are looking for a very cheap option for your forward line, do not ignore Callinan.
Watch Adelaide closely in the NAB cup to see how they utilise him.  If you like what you see, pick him.
