The talented utility topped the group in the 20 metre sprint, recording a brilliant time of 2.907 seconds and the agility, where he ran an elite 7.9 seconds. He also led the way in two of the three vertical jumps tests.
Port Adelaide's father-son prospect Taj Schofield also tested well. The small forward/midfielder won the vertical jumps test and was also among the best performers for the sprint and agility tests. The son of 2004 Power premiership player, and current assistant coach Jarrad Schofield, finished in the top-five of all tests apart from the 2km time trial.
Potential first-round pick Brayden Cook was also impressive, showing his high-end jumping ability as well as finishing fourth overall for the 20 metre sprint.
