POTENTIAL Collingwood Next Generation Academy (NGA) draft prospect, Isaac Quaynor<\/strong> aced the National AFL Draft Combine Goalkicking test last night, finishing the first evening of testing with a perfect score. Each of the players have five attempts at goal from various positions, with the Oakleigh Chargers talent kicking all five goals, despite being most suited to being a defender. Quaynor is most known for his kicking, and while he did not finish in the top 10 of the Kicking test, he was the clear standout in front of goals.<\/p>\n

Brisbane Lions Academy member, and fellow defender, Keidean Coleman<\/strong> also impressed in front of the big sticks, scoring 4.1 from his five attempts, along with North Melbourne NGA prospect and top 10 hopeful, Tarryn Thomas<\/strong>, potential number one pick, Jack Lukosius<\/strong>, Northern Knights midfielder, Tom McKenzie<\/strong> and Irish hopeful, Mark Keane<\/strong>. Fellow Irish draft prospect, Jordan Morrisey<\/strong> scored four goals from five attempts, equal to that of top 10 hopeful and excitement machine, West Adelaide’s Izak Rankine<\/strong>, and Sandringham Dragons’ Angus Hanrahan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the kicking test, it was Thomas and Oakleigh Chargers midfielder Xavier O’Neill<\/strong> who proved they can use either foot, scoring 27 of a possible 30. They finished ahead of Gippsland Power overager, Matt McGannon<\/strong> (25) and Murray Bushrangers’ midfielder Ely Smith<\/strong> (24). Murray teammate, Laitham Vandermeer<\/strong> and Lukosius were next with 23\/30. Vic Metro players, Noah Answerth<\/strong>, James Blanck<\/strong> and Metro captain, Xavier O’Halloran<\/strong> were all on 22, as were Allies, Chayce Jones<\/strong> and Nicholas Baker<\/strong>, and South Australian defender, Riley Grundy<\/strong> – brother of Collingwood’s Brodie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
