VIDEO: WAFL Draft ReportWednesday, November 18, 2015 - 9:18 AM

Which mature-age WAFL players could find a home at an AFL club in 2016?

Will it be third-time lucky for Subiaco FC's athletic midfielder Sam Menegola?

Judging by his 2015 season, recent test results at the WA state combine and finishing only four points short of the 2015 Sandover Medal, Menegola would be a solid pick up for any AFL club. Menegola recently showed off his elite endurance, finishing with a top score of 14.13 in the beep test at the WA state combine.

Will West Perth FC's athletic and talent powerhouse Marcus Adams make it into an AFL club?

The 22-year-old thrived as a key defender with the Falcons this season, finishing fourth in the club's best and fairest count. Adams was instrumental in the Falcon's qualifying final win over Peel Thunder, collecting 27 disposals and 12 marks and performed exceptionally well in the WA state combine finishing first in the vertical jump (76 centimetres) and second in the 20-metre sprint (2.90 seconds).

Will Claremont FC's Shane McAdam win a spot on an AFL list next season?

The Halls Creek product equalled the running vertical jump record set by West Coast ruck man Nic Naitanui in 2008 with a 102 centimetre jump at the WA state combine. McAdam also finished with an impressive 2.89 second result in the 20 metre sprint but unfortunately rolled his ankle and couldn't compete in the beep test and repeat sprints. McAdam kicked 19 goals in 11 league games this season.

Will Subiaco FC's speedster Shane Yarran be picked up by a AFL club? 

The exclusive medium forward was a handful for many backlines this season after claiming the Bernie Naylor medal for kicking the most goals (54) in the WAFL season. Yarran was instrumental in the club's forward line in the Grand Final, slotting five goals to help the Lions record a 136-70 victory over West Perth. The South Mandurach FC product was unable to complete all physical testing at the WA state combine due to injury.
