West Australian Ruck/forward prospect Darcy Cameron has attracted significant AFL interest with teams looking to the various state leagues for mature tall players after impressing at the WA Draft Combine.
Since injury struck down Nic Naitanui and Scott Lycett the Eagles have been on the search for further depth with their big men.
They bolstered their tall stocks with the arrival of Nathan Vardy from Geelong via trade but the Eagles are keen to further add to their list with tall talent.
Cameron, who stands 204cm and weighs 101 kg, booted 36 goals and averaged 15 hit-outs per game for Claremont this season.
Attending his fourth AFL draft combine, Cameron recorded the second-highest result in the beep test and a personal best level 13.1, and leaped 74cm off his left leg in the vertical jump test.
Sheehan said Cameron deserved a chance to prove himself at AFL level.
"His perseverance has been super and he's probably had his most consistent year," Sheehan said.
"He's ready for an opportunity to go into a full time program."
The Eagles haven’t ruled out Drew Petrie as an option to add further depth to their list.
The NAB AFL Draft will be held on Friday, November 25 with the Eagles heading into the night with selections 12, 34, 54 and 106.
