Love this kid will be the best ruck in the afl in 2030There are always a lot of good players around this pick that have the credentials to become players, but to me the most obvious position we are in need of is a ruckman, especially a mobile one with the last out rule.
Has been mentioned earlier but this kid looks to fit that mould. We lose Nank for any period of time in the next 2 years and we are left with Ryan and OHB, both are miles off.
MARCUS KRASNADAMSKIS
Position: Ruck
Size: 202cm
Clubs: Eastern Ranges/Berwick
AFL player comparison: Alex Dodson
Outside of Duff-Tytler, some clubs believe he could be the best pure ruck in the draft class, due to his enormous upside at AFL level.
Krasnadamskis barely played any footy in 2024 due to basketball commitments, which saw him trending towards a potential US college opportunity. But he was drawn back to footy — and opted to follow it full time after a strong start to his Coates Talent League season with the Eastern Ranges. Krasnadamskis would go on to play a key role in his side’s premiership triumph, playing 13 games and averaging 11.5 disposals and 14.0 hit-outs.
He received a state combine invite, with many clubs keen to see how he fared. In the smaller state pool, Krasnadamskis had four top-five finishes, performing well in the vertical jump tests and 20m sprint. He’s a competitive, physical ruck and a great size at 202cm. But he also has slick disposal skills, mobility and ground level cleanliness, while he can even provide run and carry for his side.
Plus, Krasnadamskis has lots of upside and growth left in his body. No wonder clubs are keen. All signs point to Krasnadamskis getting picked on the second night of the draft.
