Bloody stoked that Toby will be in purple!
41 and 4 in a game this year for Souths, booming left foot, huge upside.
Welcome aboard my son!!!
Club: South Fremantle
height: 184 cm
weight:
D.O.B: 09-05-2007
STRENGTHS:
IMPROVEMENTS:
Toby Whan heads into November as one of Western Australia’s likely draft hopes. The Fremantle Next Generation Academy member has the ability to break through defensive zones with his penetrating left boot. His knack for finding the ball at will in all conditions is another hallmark of his game.
The silky on-baller was consistently brilliant for the Bulldogs across his 12 matches in the WAFL Colts. His 41-disposal, four-goal game against East Perth in Round 18 was one of the standout performances of the year, proving dominant in the wet conditions.
The season ended slightly early for Whan, who went off early in the losing Colts Grand Final. He still managed to get up for the WA state draft combine, running second in the 2km time trial with an effort of 6:11.
Prospective suitors will likely consider his durability when making a bid on draft night. If Whan does attract a bid it will more than likely fall on night two, which means Fremantle won’t have to give up much to secure him, making him a strong chance to stay in WA.
Whan garnered plenty of interest early in the season having put up big numbers at Colts level. He has proven by now to be a dominant player in the junior grade, so stepping up to senior level is what will truly elevate his draft stocks. Although, more games like this won’t hurt regardless of the level.
After a steady National Championships, there have been queries over Whan’s speed and whether his kicking is as effective as it is stylish. Having produced his best game to date, it is clear he can still work on his explosive speed, and that he performs best as an outside reciever.
Whan’s weapons are his running ability and penetrative ball use – the latter of which is somewhat smothered by being a primary ball winner. He moves intelligently as a secondary receiver at stoppages, where he can still take ground and have enough time to make damaging decisions.
Being tied to Fremantle via NGA status may subdue interest from other clubs, which essentially plays into the Dockers’ hands. Although, performances like his in Round 18 are unlikely to keep a lid on what he can become. The next challenge will be replicating that form in higher grades.
