,Flying Ah Chee heads WA tilt

Awesome: Callum Ah Chee pulled down one of the best MCG marks last weekend.

South Fremantle product Callum Ah Chee headlines WA’s 31-player squad selected for this year’s AFL under-18 championships, beginning next month.

Ah Chee, who this week took a spectacular mark for the AFL academy at the MCG, is widely expected to be the first WA player taken at this year’s national draft. He is the brother of Brendon Ah Chee, who will make his debut for Port Adelaide debut today.



Swan Districts had more players picked than any other club, with nine players a chance to face South Australia in the first game of the competition, played at Lathlain Park on May 23 as the curtain-raiser to the WAFL State game.

Of the other players named, Claremont wunderkind Sam Petrevski-Seton, winner of last year’s player of the under-16 championships, and Swans forward Levi Ridley have already played league football in the WAFL. Potential West Coast pick Jake Waterman, son of dual premiership player Chris Waterman, has been selected as a bottom-aged player.
