*Average
The half-forward/onballer has speed, is strong overhead, is an elite runner (he runs a 15 beep test) and has a beautiful kick. The indigenous product is also a strong tackler and made big impressions for both Gippsland in the TAC Cup and Vic Country at the National U18 Championships. Saunders has enormous talent and has made great strides in the past 12 months. Makes smart decisions with his disposal while rarely fumbling the ball at ground level. His excellent endurance was highlighted by his 13.4 beep test at the state combine.
