Potential AFL star players:
Tom Boyd: 200cm 103kg, Eastern Rangers, great mark, tall leading forward, atheletic forward, could be anything, looks very good
Luke McDonald: 188cm 85kg, a very competitive halfback flanker or midfielder, good size and shows all the signs of a good player, would likely have gone top 5, but north took him at 8
Blake Acres: 189cm 84kg, West Perth, another top end midfield talent, tall and silky skills, I think he is top 5 talent, but has been talked about as 10-15 pick
James Aish: 184cm 75kg, Norwood, this kid has a touch of Judd about him, it could've been his shoulder strap, but he looked like a Judd clone to me, just moves well
Jack Billings: 184cm 78kg, Oakleigh, another of the high quality mids in this draft, on similar standing as Aish and Acres, 3 outstanding midfielders
Potential High Standard AFL Players:
Matt Scharenberg: 190cm 87kg, Glenelg, Dean Solomon-type, strong bodied defender who takes on opponents, decent spoil and follows up
Trent Dumont: 186cm 83kg, Norwood, good halfback flanker, think Birchall type without the bash and crash Birchall does
Dom Sheed: 184cm 83kg, Subiaco, left footed goal kicking midfielder, good skills and looks a likely type
Billy Hartung: 177cm 75kg, Dandenong, 16.6 in the beep test has made people take notice, he looks like a Bradley Hill clone, very similar player, runs all day at speed and uses the ball well
Ben Lennon: 188cm 77kg, Northern, another quality mid in the draft, not as highly rated as some, but is still a decent prospect
Cameron McCarthy: 193cm 85kg, Sth Fremantle, had the Pat Cash headband on best tall forward for WA in the carnival, looks impressive
Charlie Cameron: 183cm 72kg, Swan Districts, he's my smokey in this draft, midfielder/sml forw type, aboriginal kid with tonnes of talent, at times looked a lvl ahead of others on the field
Dayle Garlett: 181cm 75kg, Swan Districts, everyone here knows his story, only thing that will possibly hold him back is his attitude, on field has all the skills needed to potentially make it
Josh Kelly: 183cm 75kg, Sandringham, everyone has him going top 5, I think he is slightly over-rated, I had him a grouping lower, but only raised him because of the hype, solid mid
Potential AFL Standard Players:
Marcus Bontempelli: 192cm 83kg, Northern, rangy running mid/ halfback flanker, I like how he plays, but seems to me to be 3 years from playing AFL, bit of a project
Jonathan Freeman: 198cm 96kg, Aspley, tall qld forw, leads and marks well, has good agility and speed, atheletic tall forw
Nathan Freeman: 182cm 85kg, Sandringham, a part of that strong Vic Metro mid, well balanced mid, loves to take a bounce and usually finds a team-mate
Luke Dunstan: 185cm 83kg, Woodville-West Torrens, another of the quality mids in the draft, in the second grouping of mids that are around the 15-30 pick range
Kade Kolodjashnij: 190cm 81kg, Launceston, atheletic tall defender who won the div 2 Harrison medal, all-Australian, good 3rd tall halfback flanker from tassie
James Tsitas: 181cm 78kg, Geelong, another good mid, loves the contested footy, strong work rate
Zak Jones: 181cm 76kg, Dandenong, inside/outside midfielder, brother of the melb jones i think
Christian Salem: 183cm 81kg, Sandringham, goal kicking left foot midfielder, another of the quality mids in this draft
James Battersby: 177cm 78kg, Sturt, another quality mid, good decision making, moves well, uses ball well
Mitch Harvey: 197cm 95kg, Nth Adel, quality centre half forward, works hard to get the ball and uses it really well, would think he would be a good pairing with Roughy and Gunston
Luke Reynolds: 188cm 86kg, Pt Adel, med forward, smart footballer, knows how to use his body in a contest and likes to play-on, isn't very fast, but is agile and clever
Jarman Impey: 177cm 78kg, Murray, good little defender/mid, works hard, spoils, runs, attacks a contest, good kick as well
Jay Kennedy-Harris: 173cm 68kg, Oakleigh, one of the mosquito fleet from Vic Metro team, has a lot to offer, only problem could be his height, but I rate him highly anyway
Cameron Giles: 195cm 93kg, Woodville-West Torrens, best tall defender in the draft, liked the way he plays
Isaiah Miller: 187cm 82kg, Bendigo, likes to run the ball out of defence, plays smart and a good kick
Darcy Byrne-Jones: 180cm 69kg, Oakleigh, good spoiler/tackler/rebounding defender, has the whole kit, real irish look about him
Thomas Hodgson: 185cm 78kg, East Perth, reads the ball well, good tackler, good rebounding defender
