Pick 19 - West Coast: Lachy Dovaston
| 14 RANK |  | Lachy Dovaston Eastern Ranges Forward HEIGHT: 177cm | â–¶+ |
Adding to their two earlier selections of Willem Duursma and Cooper Duff-Tytler, the Eagles add some front-half flair in small forward Lachy Dovaston.
The Eastern Ranges livewire is the standout goalsneak in this year's draft, and looks to be mimicking Ranges alumni Nick Watson as a crafty and electrifying forward.
Dovaston also boasts an ability to work up the field as an additional midfield, with his speed and creativity often helping construct scoring plays on transition.
