Big wraps: Gippsland Power coach Nick Stevens says Tim Membrey is a more accurate kick for goal than Brendon Fevola. Source: Herald Sun
TIM Membrey's September was over almost before it started.
The power forward decided to pull the boots on for Gippsland Power 20 minutes before its qualifying final after not training because of a groin injury.
A month later and the Traralgon lad was locked in as a first-round draft pick.
Likened as a player to West Coast's Jack Darling, Membrey kicked 8.2 in the preliminary final to drag Gippsland to the grand final, where his fourth goal handed the Power a last-quarter lead.
"It was awesome. One of the best efforts I've seen, from a junior footballer," Power coach Nick Stevens said of his captain's haul.
"He was marking really strongly. He beat everyone that came to him. They had two on one in the end and he was still catching everything.
"He kicked three goals from outside 50m at crunch times and one from about 58m to put us in front."
Stevens said Membrey was a better kick for goal than Brendan Fevola.
"He's such a powerful and penetrating kick for a kid his age and he just doesn't miss many," he said.
Recruiters have told Membrey to work on his endurance as he is too short to hold down a key position.
While Darling was pick No.26, Stevens said Membrey deserved to go in the top 10.
"I rate him as a top-10 pick and think it'd be crazy if he doesn't go top 10," he said.
"He'll end up being a high half-forward and he's ready. I've got no doubt he'll line up (for) Round 1 next year."
