South Australian talent Jed Dignan can play as a forward or further afield, and while he was not a massive accumulator at the national carnival, he has certainly been that at SANFL Under 18s level. A clean outside ball user and handler, Dignan averaged 22.4 disposals, 5.1 marks, 3.5 tackles, 4.3 clearances and 4.4 inside 50s for the Roosters, while kicking 11 goals in 14 games.
A lot of his best work comes from outside the contest and when working up the ground. Further progress could be made on his inside game and strength, which is where the late-to-rookie prospect has areas of improvement. Earning a State Draft Combine invite, he put himself in the frame with an all-round consistent 2023 season. One who could spark interest as a taller winger or high forward.
