Dougie Cochrane scouting report
Dougie Cochrane is a generational 196cm utility and the presumptive Pick 1 favorite. A Port Adelaide NGA product, his aerial dominance and "touch of class" make him a nightmare matchup. Whether intercepting in defense or kicking bags forward, his athletic ceiling is stratospheric. Cochrane doesn't just fill a role; he dictates the game’s tempo with freakish mobility and surgical kicking.

More from the scouting notes
Cochrane mirrors Curnow’s athletic "unicorn" profile, using his massive 195cm frame and spring-heeled leaping ability to tear packs apart as a dominant, mobile target across all three zones.
