POTENTIAL top-five pick Denver Grainger-Barras has underlined his athleticism with a strong showing at this week's West Australian NAB AFL Draft Combine testing.
The key defender, who played all of this season in Swan Districts' senior side, was among the best performers across the trials.
The competitive 195cm prospect, who is seen as the best tall back in the draft pool and a likely early selection, finished fifth overall in the 20-metre sprint (2.993 seconds) and second in the agility test.

Possible No.1 choice Logan McDonald also underlined his excellent aerobic capacity for a key forward, with the Perth product running 6:33 minutes (third overall) in the 2km time trial. Likely first-round selection Heath Chapman won the time trial, with the key defender running a strong time of 6:20.
Another standout across the testing was Peel Thunder hopeful Isiah Winder, who starred as the best overall prospect.
Winder finished in the top-five of every test, including winning the vertical jump test (76cm) and the 20-metre sprint with 2.873 seconds.
