Like most big men, Verrall is taking time to develop as a ruckman but has shown some encouraging signs. Finished ninth in the Casey Demons best & fairest this year.

Date of Birth: 11 March 2004
Height: 199cm

Games CDFC 2024: 17
Goals CDFC 2024: 6

Something about this picture (lower leg strapping n all)...

Any comparisons yet makeable with (195cm) J.White? Albeit that JW had 3 seasons and 32 games at Freo under his belt by the time he first played for us, having just turned 21, which WV will do at the start of the 2025 season.

If there are any comparisons to be made, they'll be on 3 years' delay (at least). And he'll only be a 200-gamer, not a 250.

    I remember reading Will’s coaches report in his draft year where he stated that he was as good as Harry Barnett, he had an exceptional U17 year, but but suffered from groin and hip issues during U18 preseason which hampered him during that year. He also had an issue with his pelvis during his first preseason with the Dees.

    Will was injury free this year so I, like all Dee supporters will be hoping that he has a huge preseason and starts to live up to those high expectations voiced by his former coach. 2025 would be a great time for Will Verrall to break into the team and provide that ruck/ fwd relief that we have lacked since Jackson departed. Good luck Will we are all hoping that you have a great year in ‘25.

    The beauty about Max signing on for another 2 years, and Tom Campbell hopping on board is that it allows Verrall all the time in the world to develop

    Is 199cm tall enough for a ruckman these days.?

    Might he have grown since last year's measurement?

    Is 199cm his true height?

    His skills are good...and improving.
