pothead · November 15, 2011, 12:55:24 AM

Name: Waylen (Zyrus) Manson
Position: Key Forward
Height: 195cm
Clubs: Waratahs (NT),Claremont (WA)

Waylen is a young Key Forward with great talent. He is 195 cm and has a huge leap on him which helps him take a heck load of marks. Waylen has been playing for the Waratahs of late he has kicked 42 goals in 5 matches with 4 out of the 5 matches being at senior level. He has great hands and doesnt drop many marks he has a good lead and a fairly good body frame already, he is a bit like a jurrah except i reckon he will be better he could be a good option for supercoach next year as depending on where he gets drafted to he should get a few games and should score well with a few goals and grabs

Would love to see Hawthorn pick him up.

I know they wont, but can you imagine Hawthorn with two Buddys? :o

Got a ton of talent hasn't he, one to put on your radar if you haven't already.
The Eagles are very cunning asking him to list himself as Zyrus The games people play.

Didn't get picked up in the NDS so his future is on hold for the time being. I'd say his homesickness during draft camp certainly contributed to that.

I'd say he'll still get a spot on a list though.

Everyone would have been scared off when he cried after being away from home for a couple of days.
If you can't hack it for less than a week then how would you last 5 years haha.

That being said I reckon Eagles will try and snap him up.

Eagles should definitely pick him up in the rookie draft.
