Jevan Phillipou Biography

Sydney select Jevan Phillipou with pick No.35 in the 2025 National Draft.

Draft Profile: The well performed junior decathlete took some of those skills into the Combine, where he finished in the top 10 for agility (8.089 seconds) and the running vertical jump, while also completing the 20-metre sprint in 2.96 seconds. The midfielder/forward can jump for his grabs and takes the ball in the air, while also showing his bursts of speed around the ground. The younger brother of St Kilda's Mattaes.

Jevan Phillipou has confidence in spades as he shapes as one of this year's top prospects.

"Whilst I know I may not have been as consistent as some of the guys that played this year, I know that my attributes at the end of the day, my mix and my skills are better than anyone's. That's not arrogance, that's just confidence in my abilities," he said.

"I can get in my own head a little bit and overthink at times, I analyse everything. I want to be the best I possibly can be across the board in every aspect of the game and that comes through my performance. Once I put it all together I know I'm a special player at the end of the day."
