I was impressed by Ben Jepson when Box Hill played Coburg, he outmarked Meek.

Looking at his numbers and in a team competing against butters Rozee Durrsma when at afl level maybe he is worth a look at, try the other club his dad played for?

Doubt Fitzgerald gets picked. Just a VFL player.

For the regular WAFL watchers is Jack Avery a chance? Only watched one game of his this year and he was close to best on ground playing across half back.
Only 21, intercepting defender with neat skills, nice size at 190cm. Averaging close to 25 disposals and 8 marks per game in the WAFL.

There are dozens and dozens of players who are too good for state leagues but not quite good enough for AFL. We are seeing more get a 2nd chance these days so its always interesting to see.

or they end up at the wrong club at the wrong time, and all they need is another chance.
Kai Owens and Mutaz El-Nour have the highest “ceilings” of the VFL mature aged prospects in my opinion.
Kobe Ryan clear standout for mine in SANFL, too good for that level already and only getting better.

how has Adam D'Aolia gone for WWT this year?
He's had a mixed bag this year, some solid games where he's been dominant inside winning clearances and tackling well but also other games where he's just had minimal impact. So for his age, not too bad considering, but nothing like Ryan that screams draft me this year.

Was very surprised he didn't get picked up in the MYD. Comes across as a player who will lift to AFL level with ease.

I don't watch every WAFL league game but I'm surprised Noah Pegoraro (WP) doesn't get more mentions. It's a shame he is 26 because his footy just keeps getting better and he plays at both ends of the ground now. Looks ready made and could give a club 5 years service.
How tall is he? I assumed he might be a bit short. He was mentioned a bit in his draft year

I was hoping the eagles would use a second pick to get ryan. They really ballsed it up considering naitanui was put on ice 3 days after the MSD

194cm his bio says.
I guess that is a bit short to be strictly a key position player these days but no doubt there are similar sized forwards he could match up on. I've really liked his forays into the forward line this year. It really showed another side of his game.

Fully expect Kai Owens to win the VFL rising star award.
Should be selected inside the top 40 imho

Yep, out of all the state league players I think he has the most potential to turn into a very good AFL player with the exception of Mutaz El Nour perhaps.

Has there ever been a player playing country footy come straight into AFL? Had some guy show up on Instagram the other day and he's averaging 46 disposals a game or something and dominating.
Fails the character test is what they say. Big time
If this year isn't good enough for AFL recruiters, he'll win the Magarey next year

Josh Chatfield has gotten a state combine invitation. 23 year old from Footscray, formerly part of the Bulldogs NGA back in 2018. Initially came in as small forward but got pushed to the other end of the ground and has looked really good as a defender. Personally hope that the Bulldogs are taking him.
Also the game-winning turnover in the dying seconds. He's a jet.
Looking at his numbers he's a tackling machine too...something the Bombers could do with
