3. Kobe Ryan (West Adelaide)

Young gun Kobe Ryan has been a revelation at SANFL level across the past two seasons, defying his age of just 20 to take a leading role in the West Adelaide midfield.

Ryan finished seventh in the Magarey Medal last year in his first full season at league level in a team that finished last, and also took out the Breakthrough Player of the Year title.

At 185cm, Ryan is a hard-nosed player who is at ease in the coal face and can also break away from stoppages and set up scoring opportunities.

So far this season he is ranked 10th in the competition for disposals, second for tackles and fifth for clearances, showing his toughness and ball-winning ability at the contest.

Averaging just over one goal per game, he can also push forward and hit the scoreboard, as he did last week against Glenelg when he kicked three goals in 10 minutes to break the game open.

Ryan recently won the Russell Ebert Medal as best on ground in the Russell Ebert tribute match against Port Adelaide after collecting 28 disposals and 10 clearances.
