Richmond VFL has proven to be a hotbed for talent in recent years and that trend is set to continue through Harry Scott. A product of the Gippsland Power program, the 20-year-old produced a breakout campaign in his second state league season. His first was cut short by a broken wrist, but Scott made every post a winner in 2025 with a clean and consistent run at it.

The son of 19-game former Richmond AFL player Allister, Scott junior thrived on a permanent move on-ball. Having elevated his running tank out on the wing, he was able to showcase his clean and quick hands on the inside - a trait he has become renowned for. With good size and innate vision, Scott became one of the VFL's most effective stoppage extractors in quick time.

Scott's rate of improvement has already been steep, especially in a physical sense, but he can continue to add weapons to his game. He is relatively handball happy and while capable of playing forward, could perhaps increase his hurt factor by hitting the scoreboard more often. While his leg speed is deceptively good, that added touch of explosiveness would make him a real force.

DRAFT RANGE: Late/Rookie

Another in our system from a long line.
Would use a nd pick on him especially if this draft is as shallow as we are lead to believe. but dont think we will. As per usual we will miss what is under our noses.

Foxfooty.com.au takes a look at another ten prospects from around the state leagues who could be in the mix for this year’s draft as mature-age recruits.

HARRY SCOTT

Harry Scott could be another success story out of Richmond’s VFL program. Scott caught fire in the final ten or so weeks of the season, becoming an integral part of the Tigers’ on-ball brigade. Scott is a hard-working midfielder who runs all day and does some of his best work at the coalface. He’s clean with the ball in hand and makes good decisions. Scott averaged 21.1 disposals, 4.4 tackles and 4.1 marks per match in 2025 to receive a state combine invite, where he ranked second in the agility test with a time of 8.07 seconds. Scott is the son of former Tiger Allister, who played 19 games for Richmond back in the early 1990s.

MUTAZ EL NOUR

Yet another Richmond VFL player to feature on this list, El Nour has been around the mark for a while now. El Nour has great aerial capabilities and loves flying for marks, while he’s also a handy ball user out of the back half. El Nour is very athletic and reads the play well, but injuries have hurt his chances of making it onto an AFL list so far. He finally had a better run of things in 2025 and thrived, averaging 17.1 disposals, 4.8 marks and over eight intercepts per game.

Been wanted Mutaz rookied for a while now.

Dunno about draft Taylor at P3-4, this guy looks like a very useful medium back.
