Finlay Yeo breaks State Combine agility record before draft
Western Australian prospect Finlay Yeo clocked 7.53 seconds in the State Combine agility test, a new record.
Finlay Yeo, a 172cm small forward from Fremantle's Next Generation Academy, set a new State Combine record in the agility test at 7.53 seconds. Finlay Yeo broke the previous record held by Greater Western Sydney's Darcy Jones.
Yeo won a colts premiership with East Fremantle this year and represented Western Australia at the national championships. Finlay Yeo said the record was just the icing on the cake, and his actual game performance matters more for getting drafted.
Yeo studies commerce and looks up to players like Hawthorn's Nick Watson, who prove smaller players can succeed at AFL level.
