VIDEO: WAFL Young Guns Draft Report Friday, November 20, 2015 - 3:17 PM

Eight of the WAFL's top players who were tested at the AFL National Draft Combine in Melbourne in October face a nervous wait ahead of the 2015 NAB AFL Draft.

South Fremantle FC's Callum Ah Chee separates himself from some of his fellow draft hopefuls with his aerial exploits. It was the 18-year-old's spectacular screamer for the NAB AFL Academy side against the Northern Blues at the MCG in April that made him a social media star. Ah Chee gathered 22 disposal, kicked two goals and won the medal for best on ground.

Subiaco's Greg Clark is a utility with elite size, shape, endurance and overhead marking ability. Clark has spent the majority of the past three years playing for Subiaco, culminating in a senior WAFL debut in July. The versatile midfielder was also appointed WA's captain for this year's NAB AFL Under-18 National Championships, averaging 17 possessions and four marks in all six games.

Swan Districts FC's Jesse Glass-McCasker is an athletic, big-bodied key position player who performed well at the NAB AFL National Combine, placing fifth in the running vertical jump and sixth in the absolute standing vertical jump as well as the agility test. The tall defender was one to watch at the NAB AFL Under-18 National Championships, claiming WA's Most Valuable Player award for the series.

Swan Districts FC's Brayden Hackett, originally from Broome, is a prolific ball winning medium midfielder with excellent footy smarts. Hackett performed well for WA in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, averaging 15 possessions at 73 percent efficiency. 

Claremont FC medium midfielder Declan Mountford is strong overhead and aggressive in the contest. Mountford was a consistent performer for WA in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, averaging 14 possessions in five matches. Mountford racked up an average 24 possessions in 10 RediMed Colts matches and stepped up to Reserves, averaging 22 possessions in his two matches.

Peel Thunder FC youngster Joshua Schoenfeld uses the ball effectively, gets forward and impacts the scoreboard. The hard-working midfielder played 15 RediMed Colts games this season, collecting an average 22 disposals. Schoenfeld also played four games for WA during the AFL Under 18s Championships and set a new record (9.15) in the 3k time trial at the AFL National Draft Combine

Swan Districts FC's Dylan Smith is a big key position player who played both centre half-back and centre half-forward in the AFL Under 18s Championships. The big-bodied defender recorded an impressive 8.46 in the AFL National Draft Combine Agility test.

East Fremantle FC medium midfielder Jordan Snadden scored top place at the AFL National Combine in the relative vertical jump test with a leap of 75 centimetres and also placed sixth overall in the 30 metre repeat sprints. Snadden played 13 RediMed Colts games this season averaging 20 disposals and four marks.
