Player Bio

At A Glance

Junior Clubs: Caulfield Grammar
Clubs: Collingwood (2012)
Debut: Round 1 2012 v Hawthorn
Recruited from: Eastern U18
Brownlow Votes:-

 

A rangy, tallish flanker who excited the club's coaching staff with his rapid improvement over the course of 2011. Oozes class at half back, where his composure and decision making meant he was one of the most consistent players during the second half of the season. Also capable of playing in attack. Is good overhead despite his lack of size, and may be one to make inroads into the senior team in 2012.

Season By Season

Season By Season

Was a big improver over the course of the VFL season. Played 13 games for nine goals, playing mainly at half back and occasionally across half forward. Averaged 17.2 disposals, 4.0 marks and 4.5 tackles per game and had a real influence on some matches with his ability to read the play and put his slender frame on the line.

His disposal was also notable, and he was rewarded for his improvement when he was made an emergency for the match against North Melbourne in round 16.

Played school football for Caulfield Grammar while completing his VCE and managed three games for the Eastern Rangers in the TAC Cup U18s. He averaged 15.3 disposals and 8.3 contested possessions when playing for the Rangers.

Seedsman impressed recruiters with three goals in a Young Guns exhibition match staged as a curtain raiser to the VFL finals series. Was drafted to Collingwood with pick No. 76 in the National Draft, and joined Ben Johnson, Heath Shaw and Brad Dick as one of the few players on the 2011 list to have grown up supporting the Magpies.
