Neil Erasmus played just the four games for Subiaco at Colts level in 2021 due to school football commitments and a quad injury at the end of the year but dominated when he played.
He averaged 164 ranking points, which made him the no.2 ranked player in the whole competition and the no.1 rated midfielder.
He rated elite for average disposals (28.0), contested possessions (16.0), marks (7.8), ground ball gets (9.8), clearances (6.3) and score assists (2.0).
The 17-year-old also starred for Hale in the PSA - averaging 35.8 disposals, 2.5 contested marks, 5.3 clearances and a goal a game on his way to being named the captain of the PSA Team of the Year.
Erasmus is a powerful midfielder who breaks tackles with ease, is a big presence at the stoppages, works hard around the ground and is a force overhead.

He's also showed he's just as dangerous as a forward option, highlighted by his four goals as bottom age player for Subiaco in the 2020 WAFL Colts grand final win.
Given his cricket background and December birthdate, there is still significant upside to his game.
