Phoenix Gothard has just been drafted to GWS.
The 18-year-old was selected at No. 12.
He was the biggest bolter of the early selections.
Gothard impressed at the AFL Draft Combine, finishing second in the standing vertical jump with 78cms, while his 2.96secs for the 20m sprint was also in the top 10.
The small forward's greatest strengths are his elusiveness and creativity.
Phoenix Gothard gathers the ball for Albury in the second semi against Yarrawonga in September.
