"He's a quality young man."
Glanvill stunned the O and M on his debut, winning the Panthers' top award as a teenager.
He finished third for disposals with 512, averaging around 30, and was the league's leading contested possession winner with 227, despite playing fewer games than some others in the top 10 as the Panthers didn't play finals.
Forty-four per cent of his touches were contested possessions, an outstanding strike rate highlighting his work ethic.
West Adelaide also was impressed.
