The former draft top 10 pick is a developing rebounding defender who is a classy ball user with a reliable left foot. He brings some fantastic agility for a player over 190cm and makes good decisions with ball in hand and is clean in the marking contest. 

While his few seasons at the Suns have only netted him just the 4 career AFL games, Scrimshaw was always going to be more of a project player that while he showed some fantastic under 18 moments he was going to need time to develop his game.

At Hawthorn he’ll get this both in a development in a time sense but also in opportunities. While he might not be ready right now, in time he’s going to be a fantastic replacement for someone like Grant Birchall who’s starting to come towards the end of his career. 

Whenever he does get games, he will be basement priced as a rookie but at this stage I  don’t see him cracking into the Hawks side early in the year. He also hasn’t set the world on fire just yet in the NEAFL averaging just the 19 disposals and 4 marks a game. In time, he could develop into a very fine player. I’m unlikely to have him in my starting squad calculations at this stage, but given the preseason is yet to begin that could very well change.
