A prototype small forward most noted for his clean hands at the foot of marking contests and front-and-centre timing, Sandringham's George Dimer has established himself as a first-round prospect.
The consensus best small forward in this year's draft crop, he is also highly regarded for his character by teammates and recruiters alike, captaining Haileybury's firsts football team alongside his commitment as school captain.
For a small forward, his selflessness and desire to bring teammates into the game also stand out.
As well as his crumbing ability, his field kicking, competitiveness and athleticism, which suit a higher forward role, are also among his leading traits.
Remarkably, his breakout year has come off the back of a pre-season hampered by stress fractures, but he took no time finding his best footy and performed at school, Talent League and National Championships level.

Key Quote
"Talking to clubs who have interviewed him, he's one of the best interviews they had. George had an interrupted pre-season but still got a Metro trial after being unlucky not to be in the summer hub. He's going to be a high half forward at AFL level. His game against the Allies was as good a front and centre crumbing game as I've seen. It was Nick Watson-esque.” - Rob Harding
