I don’t know anything about him quality wise but as a player type , a lockdown , aerial interceptor at 190cm is very much something our list could use.

I think he’ll eventually become a Jordan Dawson type midfielder.
 
Last pick of the draft, woohoo!

So is it correct we are now at 35 senior list, 4 Cat A rookies (Evans, Liddy, Mackinlay, Walsh) and 2 Cat B (Moss, Barrett)?

Find it a little strange Evans got an extension until 2028 but has been left on the rookie list
 
High footy IQ, Good in contest and has a good tank and work-rate

Disposals are normally good

Lacks size, speed, perhaps positional versatility at AFL level

Tbh I was surprised Collingwood didn't nominate him. If he was tied to Port I'd have certainly taken the punt.

Would you take him with any of our picks?

Pick 49 is one all 17 other clubs know is up for grabs. The Power will hope to turn it into a future third round selection, holding a keen eye to the future with top 2026 prospect Dougie Cochrane finally ticked off for Next Generation Academy eligibility.

With a turnover of experience among three retirements and six delistings, the Power will instead look to utilise pick 69. Typically it’s hard-running, crafty and quick ground level players who are in the mix for Port, or developing athletic talls – particularly late in the piece.


They list a few different and new names we might look at, Peucker, Talor Byrne, Jack Dalton, Thomas Burton, Rory Wright, Taj Murray, Liam Hetherton and Sam Ainsworth.

If only Jack Dalton and Thomas Burton could be melded into Jack Burton ;)

Any chance Port could get both Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier and Zane Peucker?
There's a small chance.

I do think clubs are catching on to the fact the BOB's ceiling is much higher than other pick 40s which is what is current consensus range is. I'd be surprised, but there's a world where Port could get BOB with 49 and then rookie draft Peucker but I think it's very slim.

I don't think we'll do it though, from a list spots sense it's difficult to squeeze in because from what I'm hearing we're also committed to Watkins as a rookie. So then we can't take a SSP train on.

Yes its correct that we now have (35+4)+2 = 41. The max we can have is 42 + 2 = 44.

That's why the Twomey schedule posted by Ford in Post # 1,104 says Port has 3 picks

49 + 69 +74. Of course we don't have to use all 3 picks in the national draft can leave pick(s) for PSD, rookie draft or SSP.

Given Dougie is now confirmed as our NGA player we could trade away 49 for a 2026 pick, maybe for a late 2nd round if someone needs it for a matching bid in this draft.

Pick 49 is worth 86pts and clubs get a 10% discount a club on a matching bid, so they might be willing to trade away an estimated pick 35 in 2026. More likely to be for an estimated pick 40-45 in the 2026 draft.

Cameron Nairn​

height: 188cm

SNAPSHOT: “A medium forward capable of playing above his height with terrific running capacity, overhead marking, and clinical finishing.” – Michael Alvaro
Most players have a single ‘pick me’ game that stands out in the minds of selectors and recruiters alike. In Cameron Nairn’s case, there are several. Arguably the best of the lot was his seven-goal showing against Western Australia during this year’s Under 18 National Championships. It was the performance which put Nairn’s name in the spotlight and propelled him into the first round conversation.
2025 marked the South Australian’s first season in the state program. He impressed with 22 goals for Central District last year, spanning across a run of 14 straight bottom-age appearances in the SANFL Under 18s. Nairn was part of the Bulldogs’ Grand Final team that year and went on to produce one of his earliest star turns, booting five majors in the annual SANFL Futures showcase game.

South Australia's golden generation of footballers set to dominate 2025 AFL national draft: Apart from super-impressive midfielders Sharp (Central District) and Cumming (North Adelaide), this year’s SA draft crop includes fellow All-Australian under-18s Harley Barker (Sturt), Aidan Schubert and Matt LeRay (Central), Mitchell Marsh (West Adelaide) and Sam Ainsworth (Norwood).


Sharp and Cumming are expected to be the first two Croweaters selected – in the seven-to-12 range due to club-tied Academy talent dominating the pointy end of the draft – with Schubert and his Bulldogs teammate Cameron Nairn, Woodville-West Torrens’ Jevan Phillipou (brother of St Kilda’s Mattaes Phillipou), Marsh, Barker, Glenelg mature-age prospect Latrelle Pickett, Blake Thredgold (Sturt) and LeRay next in line.

Other teenagers who have suitors include Richmond father-son prospect Louis Kellaway (Sturt), North’s Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier and Bryce Sanders, the Eagles’ Zane Peucker and Jack Cook, Norwood’s Balyn O’Brien and Jim Kelly, Sturt’s Noah Roberts-Thomson and Jett Dahlitz and South Adelaide’s Elliott Duffield.
