With all the draft talk and draft lists. Who will play AFL footy in their first year. (e.g Lance Franklin & Jarryd Roughead)

Maybe Nathan Jones - already built for it. Where Xavier Ellis may need to fill out a bit.

Shannon Hurn as well. Already playing seniors in the SANFL for Centrals.

Nathan Jones , Josh Kennedy , Mitch Clark ( only a maybe ) , Pat Ryder , NOT Xavier Ellis ( give him a few games only ) , Jarryd Oakley Nicholls , Andrew Swallow - those are the only ones I can think of who are physically ready lol
 
Ben Mckinley if he gets bit bigger get a few games i think Nathan Jones easily and Shane Neaves has the body but not the brain
 
Did anyone watch the SANFL grand final? Hurn is a gun, nailed one from outside 50. ready made he’s built like a tank.
 
yeh i watched it he has a ready buolt frame for afl...anyonei n need of a midfielder to develop and be good should take him

Cleve Hughes will be ready to go early in the season if he has a good pre season.
Ckeve Hughes is without doubt a long term project. He didn't even play in the league side for Norwood this season, in fact he actually only started playing for the reserves after the U/18 Championships. He will most likely be ready for AFL footy in 2007.
 
If you're picked top 5, you're pretty much expected to play in your first season. I wonder how many second overall picks have been taken and didn't play a game in their first senior season.

I doubt Collingwood would be picking Ellis if they think he isn't capable body wise in the next two years. You don't need to be built like a sh*t brick house now days.

Jarryd Oakley Nicholls is a rake... he wont play next year... if he does it will be a few games towards the end (similar size to Ellis and yet Ellis wont play?)
