Kaleb Smith
A relative unknown out of Western Australia, Kaleb Smith has timed his run at the end of the year to bolt into draft contention. The East Fremantle product battled injury in 2022 and missed out on state Under 18 representation, but did some of his best work for Wesley College in the PSA competition before […]
Bailey Maxwell
One of just three West Australian draft combine invitees pulled from outside the state squad, Bailey Maxwell is a project player who showed glimpses of promise at WAFL Colts level. The East Perth ruckman managed 11 games this season, showing serious commitment to travel in for training and games as a country boy. Having battled […]
Jed Hagan
STRENGTHS: + Consistency + Footy IQ + Short kicking + Tackling + Versatility + Work rate IMPROVEMENTS: – Hurt factor – Speed When analysing Hagan’s footballing ability, it is difficult to find too many glaring deficiencies.

Jasper Scaife
A product of Fremantle’s Next Generation Academy, Scaife missed out on being drafted out of the Colts and state system but has excelled at League level as a 20-year-old. His early-season form was terrific, booting eight goals in the first three rounds to pop back on the draft radar. Scaife’s speed off the mark and […]
Hugh Davies
STRENGTHS: + Accumulation + Composure + Intercept marking + Positioning + Reading the play IMPROVEMENTS: – One-on-ones – Strength Davies has many of the attributes that clubs are looking for in the prototypical intercept defender.

Griff Julian
A composed and polished prospect out of West Perth, Griff Julian came into his top-age year as one of Western Australia’s more established players. A strong bottom-age Colts campaign saw him enter 2022 as one of the Falcons’ leaders, and he proved integral to his side’s run to the grand final. During an impressive campaign […]
Elijah Hewett
STRENGTHS: + Agility + Contested game + Explosiveness + Speed-endurance mix + Strength IMPROVEMENTS: – Consistency – Kicking Hewett showed flashes of his enormous potential in 2022, but struggled to find consistency in playing his best footy at a senior level.

Edward Allan
STRENGTHS: + Acceleration + Consistency + Two-footed + Upside + Versatility IMPROVEMENTS: – Composure – Strength Allan struggled for exposure in 2022, but did the most with the very limited opportunities he had.

Jack Cleaver
A junior who cracked all three WAFL grades in 2022, Jack Cleaver has looked comfortable at each level. The East Fremantle utility started out at Colts level, and took just one Reserves outing to earn League selection, where he ended the year strongly across seven games. There, he helped the Sharks to a preliminary final […]
