POTENTIAL Collingwood Next Generation Academy (NGA) draft prospect, Isaac Quaynor aced the National AFL Draft Combine Goalkicking test last night, finishing the first evening of testing with a perfect score. Each of the players have five attempts at goal from various positions, with the Oakleigh Chargers talent kicking all five goals, despite being most suited to being a defender. Quaynor is most known for his kicking, and while he did not finish in the top 10 of the Kicking test, he was the clear standout in front of goals.

Brisbane Lions Academy member, and fellow defender, Keidean Coleman also impressed in front of the big sticks, scoring 4.1 from his five attempts, along with North Melbourne NGA prospect and top 10 hopeful, Tarryn Thomas, potential number one pick, Jack Lukosius, Northern Knights midfielder, Tom McKenzie and Irish hopeful, Mark Keane. Fellow Irish draft prospect, Jordan Morrisey scored four goals from five attempts, equal to that of top 10 hopeful and excitement machine, West Adelaide’s Izak Rankine, and Sandringham Dragons’ Angus Hanrahan.

In the kicking test, it was Thomas and Oakleigh Chargers midfielder Xavier O’Neill who proved they can use either foot, scoring 27 of a possible 30. They finished ahead of Gippsland Power overager, Matt McGannon (25) and Murray Bushrangers’ midfielder Ely Smith (24). Murray teammate, Laitham Vandermeer and Lukosius were next with 23/30. Vic Metro players, Noah Answerth, James Blanck and Metro captain, Xavier O’Halloran were all on 22, as were Allies, Chayce Jones and Nicholas Baker, and South Australian defender, Riley Grundy – brother of Collingwood’s Brodie.
