Was reading this in the AFL site
15. Port Adelaide – Jay Nash
(Central District) 21 December 1985, 185cm, 75kg
Nash is a fine defender/midfielder with polished skills, who achieved back-to-back All-Australian status in 2002-03 after he shone in the past two National AFL under 18 championships. An AIS/AFL academy member in 2002, Nash was a member of the Central District reserves premiership team this year, which meant he was unable to attend this year’s National AFL Draft camp. However, he rated among the top 10 per cent for the standing vertical jump at the South Australian state screening. Nash has attracted strong interest as a late first to second round draftee and is highly rated by the Power, who will look at him closely with their first selection. The home grown factor will also play an important role in Port Adelaide’s assessing of players, particularly after the Nick Stevens episode, but if one of the first 14 slip through the net, expect the Power to look for the best available player. He is the son of former South Australian cricketer John.
30. Port Adelaide – Brad Symes
(Central District) 7 May 1985, 185cm, 75kg
A versatile defender/midfielder, Symes had an outstanding season in 2003, which included All-Australian selection at the National AFL under 18 championships, while he was named South Australia’s most valuable player of the carnival. He was also a member of the Central District reserves premiership side to cap off a great year. A member of the AIS/AFL academy in 2002, Symes is a skillful player, who has attracted the interest of both his home town clubs, particularly Port Adelaide, who rate him highly. Essendon is also believed to have sounded out Symes at No.28. He has been touted by many as a top 25 selection and is likely to be a second to early third round choice.
34. Port Adelaide – Ryan Murphy
(Gippsland Power) 24 May 1985, 192cm, 80kg
Murphy looms as a fascinating pick, as there has been some late talk that he could be in the mix for Fremantle at No.12, which would be quite a surprise. However, there is no doubt that he is looming as a likely draftee, possibly around the third round mark. Aside from Fremantle, the tall key defender/forward has attracted keen interest from Port Adelaide and Sydney, while Geelong is also in the mix. He is a good lead, an excellent kick – particularly in front of goal – while he has good endurance and this was shown with efforts in the shuttle run and 3km time-trial at this year’s National AFL Draft camp.
39. Port Adelaide – Harry Miller
(Port Adelaide Magpies) 11 June 1985, 174cm, 75kg
Miller is an exciting forward/midfielder, who possesses a great leap and sense of goal. He showed that during the year at SANFL level, while he was particularly impressive in the National AFL under 18 championships, when he jagged some freakish goals while representing South Australia. Miller, who has been likened to Jeff Farmer or Graham Johncock as a player, is likely to be snapped around the third round of the National AFL Draft. He has attracted plenty of interest from Port Adelaide, while Melbourne is also a big rap for him. There is a school of thought that if he was to slide past the Power and the Demons opted to use their final pick in this draft, then Miller is their man. He is cousins of Port Adelaide’s Peter and Shaun Burgoyne and the Kangaroos Daniel Wells.
46. Port Adelaide – Edward Sansbury
(Central District) 26 November 1983, 179cm, 78kg
Sansbury was a member of the Central Districts senior premiership team in 2003 and made his made on the match, booting five goals in an outstanding display. He only just missed out on receiving the Jack Oatey Medal for best on ground honours. Since his performance in the SANFL grand ginal, Sansbury has entered right in the mix of players to be in contention for a third or fourth round selection. Both Port Adelaide and Adelaide are interested in him, with the Power potentially nabbing him with their fifth and final pick at No.46. Adelaide would also show some interest, if he was available at No.58 or No.67.

I wouldn't be happy if we took BOTH Miller & Sansbury, we have some good small goal-sneaks already
