Overall
Ben Keays is a player every club would love to get their hands on, lucky for Brisbane he is available to them as an academy selection. Keays class combined with his workrate and versatility combine to make him a clear top 10 talent in this years draft pool.
Players who can be labelled highly skilled, goal kicking midfielders who are able to cover the ground in the manner Keays does often suffer in their ability to win their own football as their team mates are feeding them; Keays does not fit into that category. If someone needs to win his team the football, he’ll happily step up to the plate.
