The true wingmen are back in vogue in the AFL, and the same could be said about the Tasmania Devils and George McLeod. The North Hobart product has owned the wing for the Devils in 2021, playing six games in the NAB League and producing a consistent season.
A smooth mover with the ball, McLeod has averaged 15.3 disposals and 6.2 marks per game in the NAB League. Even more impressive has been his disposal once he has the ball, with a kicking efficiency of 80.4% showing his skills by foot. With a big tank and a willingness to run all day, he is a strong player from the first bounce to the final siren.
