Should he earn an opportunity at the top level this year, arguably no prospect would have come from further back than Cooper Ramsay. The raw tall talent was discovered at a 'come and try' day and duly converted from his basketball background. He represented WA as an over-ager in last year's Under 16 championships and has played just three WAFL Colts games to date.

Standing at 203cm, Ramsay would have been the state's frontline Under 18 ruck this year if not for stress fractures in his shin. The injury restricted him to only one appearance for East Fremantle and he didn't end up testing at the state draft combine. Still, clubs are eager to see how his athletic upside translates to Aussie rules, having shown huge talent in such a small sample size.

Ramsay's pure size and reach are up to the standard of current day AFL rucks, and his mobility would lend nicely to the changing rules. Although with such limited exposure and plenty of development left to make, a rookie spot or over-age chance seems like the most fitting way for Ramsay to continue his footballing journey. With palpable interest, he'll be one to watch in the long-term.
