There are only days to go before some of the best young guns and mature-aged talent in the country get to realise their ultimate dream of being drafted into the AFL.

The 2023 Mid-Season Draft takes place on Wednesday, with over 320 players awaiting their football future.

In 2022, three stars from the WAFL were selected (Wade Derksen, Sebit Kuek & Brynn Teakle), but this year there is plenty of talk surrounding five WAFL guns who are aiming to take their talents to the highest level.

Here are five of the best WAFL prospects to keep in mind ahead of the Mid-Season Draft.

4. HARRY QUARTERMAINE - PERTH

While the Perth Demons forward has struggled in recent weeks, Harry Quartermaine's skills and impact when it matters have seen the 21-year-old put runs on the board ahead of the Mid-Season Draft.

The big forward is the Demons' main avenue to goal, but he is much more than just a good kick for goal. He can see plenty of the ball further up the ground and his ability to find targets inside 50 and lace out his teammates with prime precision is outstanding and valuable to an already strong footy IQ.

His form has been patchy during the 2023 season with the exception of a four-goal performance against the struggling West Coast Eagles in Round 5.

Quartermaine's qualities as a key forward may be similar to Jack Buller, but like the Tigers beast, Quartermaine can be a valuable addition to any AFL list as his goalkicking, marking and run and carry inside 50 is solid.
