The West Coast Eagles swooped on exciting young midfielder Harvey Johnston with pick 49 in the 2023 national draft. Johnston boasts all-round athleticism and class to match, delivering on the national championships stage with an impressive 29 disposals, six clearances and five tackles against WA to be one of Vic Metro’s best afield in 2023. His agility and evasiveness help buy him time in possession and Johnston tested exceptionally well at the draft combine, finishing high up the boards in the 2km time trial (6:17) and agility test (8.39 seconds).
