This bloke sounds like a good project for us...
11. Shannon Neale
Club: South Fremantle
From: Jandakot Jets
Date of birth: 25/7/2002 (age 18)
Height: 202cm
Weight: 86kg
Position: Ruck / key forward
2020 averages: 18.6 hitouts, 13.3 disposals, 2.8 marks, 2.9 tackles per game (WAFL colts)
The versatile 202cm tall, who can play in the ruck or up forward, put together a brilliant season after an injury-hampered 2019 campaign.
Neale, a former middle-distance runner who represented the State in 400m and 800m, only chose footy over athletics less than two years ago so has plenty of development left in him.
He formed an exciting ruck duo with South Fremantle teammate Solomon James, with his forward craft ever-improving.
Earned a national combine invite and finished his year with a bang, booting an equal game-high three majors in the Under-18s All-Stars finale.
