Early favorites (Scharenberg will be gone by pick 8):
Fraser Fort
Club: Geelong Falcons/South Barwon
D.O.B.: 4.10.95
Height: 196cm
Weight: 84kg
Tall defender/forward who excels one-on-one and is powerful overhead. Impressed with his ability to win contested ball playing in defence in all five matches for Victoria Country in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships in 2013. Ideal type to play the swingman role at both ends.
Darcy Gardiner
Club: Geelong Falcons/Queenscliff
D.O.B.: 22.9.95
Height: 192cm
Weight: 85kg
Tall defender who is rarely beaten one-on-one. Has the ability to shut down the opposition's most dangerous forward. This close-checking defender has pushed forward on occasions with some success; he keeps things simple, is strong overhead and makes good decisions with his execution by hand or foot. Represented Vic Country at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships in 2012 and 2013, winning All-Australian honours this year. Member of AIS-AFL Academy.
SA
Cameron Giles
Club: Woodville West Torrens/Blyth Snowtown
D.O.B.: 5.5.95
Height: 195cm
Weight: 93kg
Tall defender who is quick and agile and has a big endurance base. Spots up his kicks well and rebounded effectively during the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, which was impressive given this season is his first in defence having previously played as a tall forward and ruckman. Generally makes good decisions with the ball in hand.
Jake Pitt
Club: Glenelg/Lucindale
D.O.B.: 4.4.95
Height: 192cm
