State Combine tests WAFL’s top Draft prospects

2017 Sandover Medallist Haiden Schloithe and WAFL leading goal-kicker Liam Ryan were among the players to impress at the NAB AFL State Draft Combine on Sunday, October 15.

A group of 25 WAFL players participated in testing at the State Netball Centre, inlcuding three who returned to complete further testing after also attending the National Combine – East Perth’s Brandon Starcevich and Subiaco teammates Brayden Ainsworth and Kyron Hayden.

Starcevich recorded impressive results in the 20m sprint, agility test and running vertical jump.

His East Perth teammate Christian Ameduri topped the agility test, while Claremont’s Zac Langdon and Matt Guelfi were the last men standing in the Yo-Yo endurance test.

Claremont’s Bailey Banfield, pictured above, recorded the best scores in both the standing and running vertical jump.
