Wentworth player profiles

Wentworth’s 2022 Grand Final line-up:

Sam Cumming – Hard-running young midfielder with great hands and a long kick, exciting talent, destined for big things.

Jordan McKinnon – Skilful half forward capable of sublime ball use and an uncanny goal sense.

Bailey Heywood – Gritty rising star who typically gets a task on the opposition small forwards and defends vigorously.

Tom Sapuppo – Up-and-coming midfielder/small forward who possesses maturity beyond his years, played every game this year.

Wade Hancock – Inspirational leader, strong hands, very dangerous at ground level and a deadly accurate kick.

Andy Wall – Seriously quick closing speed when spoiling or tackling, plays back, mid or forward with conviction. One of the league’s best.

Matthew Cameron – Evergreen, been the thorn in the side of many for a decade, very smart and crafty defender.

Chris Wall – Rejuvenated defender with tremendous peripheral vision.

Cambell Davison – Exciting dasher when across the back half, can make incisive runs and penetrate deep into the forward line.

Frank Chirchilia – A brick-wall mid with an improved delivery into the forward half.

Harper Curran – An improved player, plays forward and through the midfield, offering clean quick hands off the deck to the outside runners.

Jack Cottrell – Contested footy bull, just loves it inside where the contest is the hottest, takes a great grab.

Wade Minter – A smiling assassin, no-nonsense footballer, has a great game sense and continually puts his body on the line.

Jack Carter – One of the most consistent players you will come across, very reliable forward/mid who always gives his all.

Kaine Behr – Fierce attack on the ball, clean off the deck with pace to burn and a tackling machine. Everything you want in a skipper.

Aaron Duck – Arguably one of the club’s great success stories, he plays a key role, whether it’s down back, up forward or relieving Jensen in the ruck.

Jackson Ferguson – A mountain of a man, the general, he organises, leads by example and is an all-round great team player.

Leroy Eggmolesse – Impact player with deadly ball use. Used in bursts, he can change the trajectory of a game within moments.

Nick Jensen – Arguably one of the best local ruckmen in the past decade, he’s possibly the most important player in the team as he gives first use of the ball to his smalls regularly.

James Nunan – The father of the team, so much experience to call on, instils trust in all around him, he is a genuine pest to play on.

Cooper Allford – An emerging big man who stood up in the absence of Jensen as a ruckman forward, clean hands at ground level.

Tristan Parker – Given a task, he sticks to it like glue. Back on the park after a long time out of the game through injury.

Ben Howard – All heart, very important lead up forward, consistently working his opposition over aerobically as he runs between the lines.

Cleve Westley – The club’s most efficient trainer causes opposition forwards anxiety with his clever intercept marking and ability to carry the ball out of the back half.

Jarryn Scadding – Club junior who is an improved defender.
