SEASON proper is edging ever closer for the Tasmania Devils, who underwent preseason testing in Hobart on Sunday. Top prospects in the boys squad soared atop the charts in a competitive field of results across all five events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

>> SCROLL for all top five results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over-ager Geordie Payne<\/a> impressed alongside Allies camp member Lenny Douglas<\/a>, both achieving top five results in three separate categories. Among them, Payne topped the agility test with a time of 7.718 seconds, while Douglas notched the quickest 20-metre sprint at 2.914 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having cut his teeth as a small defender with plenty of dash and flair, Payne will shift into a mid-forward role this season alongside Douglas. The latter, who bases his game off Collingwood’s Jordan De Goey<\/strong>, expects to play a 70-30 split between the two roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of seven other Devils managed top five finishes in multiple events, including 2004-born tall Callum Boucher<\/strong>. The program newcomer leapt for the best standing vertical jump and placed second in the running version, playing up to his aerial potential at 198cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tommy Bennett<\/a> was another to showcase his hops, finishing third and fifth for the respective leaps. Bottom-ager Lucas Wootton<\/a>, one of the state\u2019s best performed Under 16 representatives last year, also excelled with the third-best running jump to go with fifth place in the 20-metre sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
