Overview:

Rhylee West is a father/son prospect for the Western Bulldogs who has drawn comparisons to Nathan Jones for being a tough, strong-bodied inside midfielder who can win the ball and also fight hard for it.

He starred for Vic Metro during the U18 Championships, winning the ball consistently and disposing of it with class.

West has a good combination of strength and pace but is somewhat lacking in height. He sometimes surprises with big leaps and unexpected goals, but hasn't shown as much X-Factor as his midfielder contemporaries in Sam Walsh and Bailey Smith.

West will likely be a mid-late first round pick who will grow into a reliable inside mid.
