Richmond's Sam Davidson is the latest prospect to come off the production line that is Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal winners. The 190cm forward, who is studying medicine at Monash University, was plucked out of local footy in Gippsland to ply his trade in the VFL. His ascent this year has been astronomical.

Davidson showcased his elite running capacity, blending speed and endurance, along with great aerial range to kick 26 goals across 17 games in his debut state league campaign. His exploits included a bag of six majors against Northern Bullants, and four against Port Melbourne, while also spending time on the wing.

Having juggled his footballing development with study, he has come on quite quickly in an elite program and still has more potential to uncover. Improvement will come once he adds some size to his frame and continues his education in such a high-level system. Richmond found him first, but all clubs will be onto him come draft time.

DRAFT RANGE: 40-60
