Matt is exactly what we need if we are building that age group coming through. Fingers crossed.

He looked good from what i seen. He played on a player who is being touted as a 1st rounder. I didn't really think much of the Whitlock boy. He had height and he didn't really have any forward craft. running patterns, leading patterns or any goal sense. I guess clubs will look at his height and think we can work with that. That Hynes looked good and a good size. His probably too tall for us..hahaha

All those touches must have been in the 1st half. He looked lost from what i seen and hardly got near it in the 2nd half.

He was draftable last year and in the MSD, so who knows.

Not sold on them. They may turn out to be guns, but i don't think they will. I look beyond the stats and i wasn't sold on them as being as hyped as they are. 2nd or 3rd round at best and i guess we will see if i am wrong or right in 3-4 years time.

I heard the same thing from a recruiter from a rival club. I am still not sold on them. I wasn't sold on the Jaiden Stephenson selection and wanted us to go after Fogarty, Allan or Balta.

yep. wasn't he recruited as a defender? Playing as a key forward isn't as easy as people think, and some folks have it and a lot don't.

Kayle Gerreyn was the only West Perth player invited to test at the AFL National Combine and for good reason.
The Falcons tall has enjoyed a breakout season playing mainly in the ruck for West Perth after playing as a key forward for WA at the National Championships. But since returning to Colts football, Gerreyn has been one of the in-form players in the competition, culminating in the second-best individual game on record this season.
The 18-year-old dominated round 18 to post a total of 229 ranking points, becoming one of just three players to hit a double century so far this season. Bottom age Swan Districts star Blake Kelly hit 200 ranking points in round 14 while East Fremantle midfielder Declan Pauline boasts the most impactful performance this season with 282 ranking points in round one.
But Gerreyn underlined his draft credentials with a massive 30 disposal, 34 hitouts and two goal performance in West Perth’s 12.13 (115) to 7.4 (46) win over East Perth.
Playing in the AFL has been a lifelong ambition for Gerreyn. His dad Chris played for Claremont and East Perth in the 1990s and was drafted to Hawthorn but didn’t play a game.
Gerreyn joined West Perth’s development squad when he turned 14 but was a late developer, undergoing a significant growth spurt in the past few years to emerge as one of WA’s best talls.

I hope we’re taking a look at him, seems like a genuine talent.
He’s honestly taking the piss at colts. Think he had 29 touches to half time last game.
Who are these players, possible draftees for this year? thx

2.3 goals today as well in Essendon's VFL, I think he might break in to the top 10-15

Scrolling straight to look for talls around our pick
Whitlock had joined his twin brother Jack in the forward line for the Bushrangers until last week, when he shifted back to defence and had a day out. He took 11 marks and collected 24 disposals while mopping things up in the back half against Dandenong. Whitlock’s versatility is part of his appeal as an athletic tall prospect at both ends of the ground – as well as his surety in defence, he has also kicked 19 goals in 11 Coates Talent League games this year.
The key forward has been a prominent scoreboard threat this year – he kicked three goals two weeks back for the Knights against Bendigo and has 22 for the season in 11 games at the level. Included in that is two bigger hauls – seven against the Chargers and five against the Jets – that highlighted his mobility, size and forward presence. Sims has the height to stretch for his grabs and be hard to stop
