"A rebounding defender who uses the ball beautifully, Farrow jumped up during the national championships.

Club West Perth / Joondalup Kinross

State WA

Height 188cm

DOB 21/09/2007

Kicking / Run & Carry / Intercepting / 1 on 1 Defending

A classy halfback, Farrow has been linked to AFL stars Hayden Young and Jordan Dawson. Like those two players, he is a beautiful kick who went at 86.8 per cent kicking efficiency during his under-18 national championships campaign with Western Australia. Farrow is also a strong-bodied player who can take a nice intercept mark, makes good decisions, is composed under pressure and can provide some run and rebound when he does win possession. He was trialed through the midfield in Western Australia’s first two games, before returning to his natural position in defence and racking up 29 disposals and 803 metres gained in the side’s third game against the Allies. Farrow was named in a back pocket in the under-18 All-Australian team, before returning to West Perth where he has impressed at senior level in the WAFL. In a round 16 loss to East Perth, Farrow racked up 22 disposals, nine marks and six rebound 50s. He also had some big games in the Colts across the year and spent time as an inside midfielder late in the season. Farrow finished seventh in the agility test at the national draft combine in October, stopping the clock at 8.034 sec.

2025 WAFL Colts 132 ranking points, 24.7 disposals, 5.4 marks, 4.2 intercept possessions, 3.2 rebound 50s, 4.4 tackles, 0.6 spoils (9 games)

2025 WAFL 93 ranking points, 17.7 disposals, 5.3 marks, 6 intercept possessions, 3.7 rebound 50s, 3.7 tackles, 0.7 spoils (3 games)

2025 National Champs 108 ranking points, 19 disposals, 4.8 marks, 1.8 intercept marks, 4.5 rebound 50s, 3 score involvements, 3.5 tackles (4 games)"

Seems like a less explosive but more skilful version of our almost-Bo Allan pick from last year

A Cumming/Farrow double would be a good outcome in my view. Both have mid potential but both can play other roles and develop off half-forward and half-back respectively.

I’m a fan of farrow I feel like he is the short term rivers replacement developing in the back half while rivers goes into the midfield, with Farrow eventually going into the midfield when he’s ready
