Kane Bevan has collected a slew of accolades across his top-age season; captaining West Perth to a minor premiership and grand final berth, en route to taking out the Falcons and WAFL Colts best and fairests. He was also named the coaches player of the year, exemplifying his standing as a dominant figure in the competition.

Though he has previously played forward and initially entered West Perth's Colts side as an undersized tall defender, Bevan has proven his top traits translate best to the midfield. Averaging over 25 disposals across 13 games this season, the accomplished 18-year-old was super consistent in his output and regularly broke clear of his average. Throughout his experience in various roles, Bevan has showcased his overhead marking ability, as well as the strong inside ball winning acumen he leans on most weeks.

Though big-bodied midfielders have certainly had their time in the sun, the main question marks around Bevan may surround his athleticism. He is not particularly quick or expansive away from the contest, and could perhaps look to level out his kicking with the comparatively clean hands he possesses. Nonetheless, there have been few more reliable and consistent performers in Western Australia this year, and Bevan could not have done much more.
