nb. Summary from Inside Football:

A - B

Taylor ADAMS (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 20/9/93. Ht: 181cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: small midfielder.
Taylor was our captain and is right in the mix go in the first round, I would have thought. There were a couple of clubs that said to me he was the best interview they did at the draft camp and another club thought he was a potential AFL captain. Great attitude and really driven kid, a bit like Ben Cunnington. Wins alot of footy, is a great decision maker, great kick and athletically he's superior to someone like Cunnington. Ran a 15.1 beep test at the camp which recruiters wouldn't have expected and that will shorten him in the betting as to his draft number" - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.
Vic Country representative 2011, All-Australian 2011

Brendon AH CHEE (South Fremantte)
DOB: 21/12/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Brendon's an interesting one. This was his second year with the Colts but for the second time he couldn't do a pre-season because he had patella tendinitis. Despite that he won the colts' best and fairest last year and this year and the middle of the season played state under-18s. He's a six-foot-two indigenous guy who can play virtually anywhere - half-back, half-forward - on the ball. He's a great mark overhead for his size, is a good mover, reads the play well but could improve his fitness." - South Fremantle operations manager Brent Dawkins.
Western Australia representative 2011.

Matthew APPLETON (Woodville-West Torrens)
DOB: 14/2/93. Ht: 184cm. Wt: 74kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
Matthew played mainly under-18s this year ut did play about nine reserves games and erformed really well. A good kick, finds the ball lot and plays through the midfield. Probably just eeds to improve his strength because he's not a ig guy." - WWT talent manager Shane Grimm.

Matthew ARNOT (Oakleigh Chargers)
DOB: 21/10/93. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Matt always get the best out of himself and is a really good kid. A bit like Mitch Wooffindin, there are a few things that may hold him back from being able to make the jump to the next level but he has plenty of good attributes as an inside midfielder." - Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart
Vic Metro representative 2011.

James BATTERHAM (West Perth)
DOB: 5/4/93. Ht: 179cm. Wt: 76kg.
Pos: Small defender.
"James played Colts footy all year as a creative running half back who can play through the middle. He was runner-up in the Colts best and fairest by a vote and he's just a skilful player who makes good decisions." - West Perth football operations manager Brad Lukosius.

Jack BEECH (Sandringham Dragons)
DOB: 22/5/92. Ht: 200cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Beechy is a kid who wasn't getting a go at his local club but played a few games with us. But with his height, athleticism and spread from the ruck, he has been fantastic this year. He carried the ruck by himself for long periods but needs to develop his technique and put on some size." - Sandringham Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor.
Vic Metro representative 2011.

Tom BELL (Morningside)
DOB: 13/6/91. Ht: 191 cm. Wt: 79kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Hasn't played a lot of footy but has come on in leaps and bounds this year. He ran a 15.1 beep test so he has good endurance and he is a good athlete. He is a tough, strong, hard-running player and had a great year with Morningside where he even kicked four goals in a final from a wing against Gold Coast." - Queens/and talent manager Bob Batty.
Queensland representative 2011.

Alex BENBOW (Dandenong Stingrays)
DOB: 21/1/93. Ht: 173cm. Wt: 72kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Alex won the Morrish Medal this year. He's a small, powerful rover/forward type who had an outstanding year and played a couple of games for Vic Country at the national championships. Probably didn't set the world on fire but came back to us and worked really hard because he's desperate to get an opportunity.A kid of great character who puts his head down works hard and pushes himself beyond the limits. His size will be against him but he can play as a small forward, has good initial speed and play reading abilities." -Dondenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.

Jed BEWS (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 14/12/93. Ht: 186cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Jed will replace Corey Enright down the track, if I'm a good judge. A lot taller than his father Andrew, and is a quiet kid with a great attitude. Super skills and he's really quick and he was top 10 in speed repeat and agility at the draft camp. He's got that great lateral movement that Andrew had and uses it well in games. He doesn't turn 18 until late September so he's played all year as a 17-year-old and if you saw a 17-year-old playing like he did you'd be doing backflips. For Geelong to get him under the father-son at pick 102 is an absolute bargain." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

Nathan BLEE (East Perth)
DOB: 7/9/90. Ht: 192cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Nathan had an outstanding year playing on the opposition's best forward pretty much every week, whether they be tall or small, which underlines his versatility. A mature-aged kid with a big upside who came third in our senior best and fairest, which was a great effort given he only debuted this season. Good closing speed and positioning nnd is rarely beaten one-on-one. The biggest improver at our club in 201 I." -East Perth football manager Mark Winnett

Myles BOLGER (South fremantle)
DOB: 25/3/93. Ht: 201cm. Wt: 90kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Myles is a ripping kid. A ruckman who missed all of last season with a fracture of his navicular bone in his foot, he got over that and this year rucked for us and the state under side. A very good runner for a guy his size, his skills still need work but that will come and he's slowly getting there with his confidence." - South Fremantle football operations manager Brent Dawkins.
AIS/AFL Academy member 2010. Western Australia representative 2011.
Myles Bolger video highlights or on youtube

Josh BOOTSMA (South Fremantle)
DOB: 22/2/93. Ht: 191cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Josh is (former Docker) Brad Bootsma's son and he joined us half way through the year from Albany after he got an electrical apprenticeship. Played league footy for North Albany for the past two years under his dad as coach. He slotted into defence with us really well and has great closing speed. I hate to compare but he's a bit Dustin Fletcher-like - long arms, great spoiler. He's very skinny at the moment but that will change." - South Fremantle football operations manager Brent Dawkins.

Andrew BOSELEY (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 4/9/92. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Andrew will get drafted. We brought him back as a 19-year-old after he played with us in parts of last year. I didn't expect him to do what he did this year but right from the get-go he set himself to have a good year and he did. After playing forward and wing last year he found his way to full back and had a great season. In the Vic Metro game he played well on Jonathan Patton, who will go No.1 probably. A developing key defender in the mould of Dustin Fletcher in terms of his looks and body shape but he plays a lot like Collingwood's Harry O'Brien. He backs himself in, takes a mark and runs off." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.
Vic Country representative 2011.
Andrew Boseley video highlights or on youtube

Lachlan BOYD (Sandringhom Dragons)
DOB: 28/9/93. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Boydy is a tall, strong key-position player that can play at both ends. He can improve his disposal and decision making at times but he has worked hard after missing out on Vic Metro selection. He had a really good APS/ACS game,played a key part in our forward line and has matured as the year progressed." - Sandringhom Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor.

Jack BRADSHAW (Claremont)
DOB: 30/9/92. Ht: 181 cm. Wt: 75kg.
Pos: Small forward.
"Jack is a really clever and creative small forward who takes a good mark for his size and kicks goals. He can find the footy, reads it well and sharks it well." - Claremont development officer Sam Cousins.

Mitch BREWER (Broadbeach)
DOB: 31/7/92. Ht: 204cm. Wt: 110kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Mitch has come from a Rugby background and has only played footy for three or four years. He is a big boy who enjoys the physical side of the game and has shown rapid development this year. Could be a rough rookie chance." - Queensland talent manager Bob Batty.

Alex BROWN (Ookleigh Chargers)
DOB: 26/9/93. Ht: 19 km. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Alex has had an injury interrupted year which has been disappointing. He was able to play state footy though, over in WA, and he showed that he is a very good defender who can play on smalls and tails. He rebounds well out of the back half and has great flexibility, which makes him attractive to AFL clubs." - Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart.
Vic Metro representative 2011
Alex Brown video highlights or on youtube

Ben BROWN (Glenorchy)
DOB: 20/11/92. Ht: 199cm. Wt: 89kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Ben had osteitis pubis so had a limited preparation. He played against NSW and Queensland and was outstanding. He is a very good kick for his height and can play forward as a ruckman. He has great game sense, good hands and is good at ground level. His workrate and professionalism are faultless." - Tasmania U18 coach Mathew Armstrong.
Tasmania representative 2011.
Benjamin Brown video highlights or on youtube

Meyrick BUCHANAN (Geefong Falcons)
DOB: 16/3/93. Ht: 178cm. Wt: 69kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Meyrick, the brother of Amon, is an outstanding cricketer and plays for the Geelong first-grade side. He's the best Buchanan we've had come through (Amon and Liam played for the Falcons) and has been on a full scholarship at Geelong Grammar, which has made it more difficult for him to access our program. Knocked back an opportunity to tour overseas with a junior Australian cricket team to concentrate on his footy.The information from some is that he could go as high as the second round.Very, very smart player who is a great kid, very intelligent, wins a lot of ball, is a great decision maker and has great skills." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

Dylan BUCKLEY (Northern Knights)
DOB: 10/3/93. Ht: 179cm. Wt: 70kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"A super talented player who's quick, uses it well and really matured in the past 12 to 18 months. I think he's going to be jumping out of his skin because he's had an injury interrupted last 18 months with shoulder and foot injuries. Probably a bit more of an outside player but he's got enough to play down back and use it Leon Davis-style coming out of the defence. His pace and kicking ability are his standout assets." - Northern Knights coach Anthony Allen.

Damien BUGEJA (Calder Cannons)
DOB: 9/4/93. Ht: 176cm. Wt: 77kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Damien won our best and fairest despite the fact this was his first year in the Cannons' program - I've never known that to happen before. It took him a while to get used to the workload of theTAC Cup but we missed him in the finals because he was out with a hamstring injury. Really finds the footy around stoppages, is very strong over the ball and rarely gets beaten one-on-one." - Colder Cannons coach Martin Allison.

Matthew BUNTINE (Dondenong Stingrays) DOB: 19/10/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"I don't want to put the mozz on him but he could be the best player to come out of our program. An enormous talent who is the modern-day prototype half-back flanker who can rebound, be isolated and win his own ball, is great below his knees, a great reader of the game, can take a mark and is just reliable. Could have played AFL this year he was that good, and the other thing is he has great leadership qualities. I would have thought that wherever he goes, in five to eight years time he's capable of being captain of an AFL club. He loves the pressure and excelled as a captain this year." -Dandenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.
AIS-AFL Academy member. Vic Country representative 2011.
Matthew Buntine video highlights or on youtube

Haydn BUSHER (Perth)
DOB: 21/8/90. Ht: 192cm. Wt: 88kg. Pos:
Tall forward.
"Haydn is a 20-year-old player who played senior footy for us at centre half forward.The thing about him is that he really works at his footy like an AFL player and has very good hands, was top 10 in the WAFL for marks this year and was top six in our best and fairest. He's in our leadership group already as a 20-year-old which says a bit about him. Very mature and an out-and-out leader." - Perth football manager Darren Solomon.

Michael BUSSEY (Eastern Ranges)
DOB: 5/7/93. Ht: 196cm. Wt: 81kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Michael is a unique talent. At 196cm, he ran a 2.96 20-metre sprint and had a terrific athletic physique. He can play as a second ruckman as well as a forward and has also played as a key back. He has a few deficiencies such as his ability to compete consistently, but that can be resurrected in a full-time environment." -
Eastern Ranges region manager Anthony Parkin.
Vic Metro representative 201 I.
Michael Bussey video highlights

Danny BUTCHER (Gippsland Power)
DOB: 22/1/93. Ht: 183cm. Wt: 73kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Younger brother of Port's John who was runner-up in the Morrish Medal. A bit like his brother, he is an old fashioned footballer who doesn't look pretty but gets the job done. He had a few injuries in pre-season but with AFL footy being all about contested ball, that is where his strength lies. Outstanding character." - Gippsland Power coach Adam Dowie.

Jacob CARGER (Glenelg)
DOB: 27/8/93. Ht: 179cm. Wt: 76kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Jacob's a really solid citizen and a neat and tidy player who might just lack a yard of pace. He's got great endurance - high 14s in the beep test and is very smart, a lovely kick and he plays very well off half back." - Glenelg talent manager Brenton Hole.

Jack CHARLESTONE (Western Jets)
DOB: 9/1/93. Ht: 177cm. Wt: 83kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Jack won our best and fairest and there's been a few clubs who have shown a bit of interest. A top-age player last year who didn't play a lot of games because of injury but this year he certainly was our most consistent and dynamic player. From 18 games he polled votes in about 14 of them to win the best and fairest pretty easily. A small inside/outside midfielder who can go back or forward or do a job on someone in the middle. Played on some of the better midfielders in the competition and beat them. Can kick the ball 50-60 metres off one step." -Western Jets coach Steve Kretiuk.

Freddie CLUTTERBUCK (East Perth)
DOB: 22/9/90. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Freddie played senior footy all year as a wingman and he's a high possession-getter. He tested OK at the state screening and might be a rookie chance." - East Perth football manager Mark Winnett

Jackson COLEMAN (Sandringhom Dragons)
DOB: 18/12/91. Ht: 196cm. Wt: 90kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"I couldn't speak highly enough of his ability to come into a group, knuckle down and go about his business. A lot of his training was school based so he has come from a fair way back. He played everywhere from full forward to a wing, in the ruck and even a stint at centre half back. I think he gives clubs enough for them to think he can give them something going forward." - Sandringham Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor.

Stephen CONIGLIO (Swan District)
DOB: 15/12/93. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Stephen obviously a really special kid both on and off the field.To have the influence he had in the 2010 WAFL grand final showed how mature he was for a 16-year-old back 12 months ago. While he's had a disjointed year this year because of some leg injuries over the course of the season that saw him play only five or six senior games, it just showed the quality of his character because he fought through the national carnival to win the Larke Medal playing h a number of injuries at the time. Not only he have some knee tendinitis, he also had a shoulder problem and concussion going into the game. His ability to win a contested footy through congestion is really special. He's got a huge tank and on top of that he's got an ability push himself. Outside of Ben Cousins he is next best I've seen at exhausting himself on footy field. Plus he's hard at it, he wins his own footy and his dual-sided. He's got a fair bit going him!" - Swan Districts coach Greg Harding.
AIS/AFL Academy member 2011. Western Australia representative 2011. All Australian 2011. Larke medal winner 2011.
Stephen Coniglio video highlights

Ryan COOK (South Fremantle)
DOB: 16/2/88. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
Ryan's a former Collingwood player who I think might be a chance to get a second home. He won our best and fairest pretty easily and had the second most possessions in the WAFL this year. There are four or five clubs looking at him and if he doesn't get drafted he might be get a lot as a mature-aged rookie. An elite runner who played on-ball all year." - South Fremantle football operations manager Brent Dawkins.

Leif COPE (Eastern Ranges)
>OB: 22/8/92. Ht: 203cm. Wt: 98kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
Leif is a genuine ruckman who can push forward at a pinch. He came back this year as an overage player and had a really good season. He competes well, has good athletic ability and O'm hopeful that he can find his way onto a list somewhere." - Eastern Ranges region manager Anthony Parkin.
Vic Metro representative 2011.

David COWARD (NSW/ACT Rams)
DOB: 14/3/93. Ht: !76cm.Wt: 73kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"David's got speed and is a midfield utility type who wins a lot of the footy. He can carry the ball well and uses it well off both sides. Originally from Canberra." - NSW/ACT talent manager Darren Denneman

Jack CRISP (Murray Bushrangers)
DOB: 2/9/93. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 81kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
Had a really good year with us winning the best and fairest and took a step forward from a 17-year-old. Jack worked his way into becoming regular player in our midfield and ended up leading the club in a lot of our key stats. He found a lot of the footy and can mark and kick well." - Murray Bushrangers region manager
Andrew Carson.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Hayden CROZIER (Eastern Ranges)
DOB: 24/12/93. Ht: 184cm. Wt: 68kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
Hayden has plenty of tricks but also a lot of development and upside. He can run all day and a beautiful left foot kick. He can also play in all three thirds of the ground having played some good games across half back at the end of the year, which added another string to his bow. He loms as a late first, early second round draft pick" - Eastern Ranges region manager Anthony Parkin.
Vic Metro representative 2011.

Harry CUNNINGHAM (NSW/ACT Rams)
DOB: 6112/93. Ht: 181 cm. Wt: 70kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
Harry's an outside midfielder who has genuine speed and he's probably one of those 80-metre us players who carries the ball well and uses reasonably well. Had a great lead-up and a consistent national carnival playing for NSW/ACT." - NSW/ACT talent manager Darren Denneman

George CURNOW (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 22/7/93. Ht: 190cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Ed Curnow's brother who will be a key position player because he has a great leap. We'll play him as a 19-year-old next year if he doesn't get drafted." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

Tom CURRAN (Oakleigh Chargers)
DOB: 18/9/93. Ht: 195cm. Wt: 86kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Tom had a great year with us finishing third in our best and fairest but missed eight or so games due to private school footy. He has the versatility to play key back and key forward, which adds another string to his bow. He is a very good reader of the play and a great kid to work with. Hawthorn chose not to take him under the father/son rule but Tom is really upbeat and positive about it all." - Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart
Vic Metro representative 2011.
Tom Curran video highlights or on youtube

Fraser DALE (Calder Cannons)
DOB: 10/11/93. Ht: 186cm. Wt: 74kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Fraser had a great year and improved significantly as the season went on. Started in the forwardline and we threw him down the backline at which point he really started to grow and prosper and develop into an elite attacking defender. Can win a lot of possessions because he knows when to leave his man and get on the end of the play. A really creative player." - Calder Cannons coach Martin Allison.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Lachlan DALGLEISH (Nth Ballarat Rebels)
DOB: 22/1/93. Ht: 185cm. Wt: 77kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Lachie has rare, elite speed. He had a limited preparation for the Combine having punctured his lung in our last game so to run the times he did with no preparation is amazing. He is an outside player who will excite clubs with his speed and very good left foot." - North Ballarat Rebels region manager Phil Partington.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Ben DARROU (Sandringnam Dragons)
DOB: 25/11/93. Ht: 190cm. Wt: 93kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Ben had an outstanding finals series down back and finished the year off really well. He's a big-bodied defender who can play on tails and mediums and is a beautiful user of the ball by foot. He needs to work on a few areas such as endurance, but he has what it takes to step up to the next level and be a quality performer." - Sandringham Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor.
Vic Metro representative 2011.
Ben Darrou video highlights or on youtube

Simon DEERY (Qppsland Power)
DOB: 18/9/93. Ht: 192cm. Wt: 84kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"For a big guy, Simon is a really good mover with good speed. He can play both forward and back. There is a fair bit of scope for development with him and I think that is what will entice an AFL club. He started the year well, dropped off a bit, but reads the game well behind the ball." - Gippsland Power coach Adam Dowie.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Cory DELL'OLIO (South Fremantie)
DOB: 8/12/89. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Small forward.
"Cory is a mature-aged player who played seniors with us and finished second in the WAFL goalkicking with 56 goals. A small powerful forward who reminds me a lot of Paul Medhurst with the way he plays.Very smart, good overhead and played state football in the State of Origin competition against Queensland and kicked three goals." - South Fremantle football operations manager Brent Dawkins.

Julian DOBOSZ (North Hobart)
DOB: 17/11/92. Ht: 193cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Probably has the biggest upside of all our kids due to the fact he hasn't done a pre-season or anything like that because of his cricket. He reads the ball exceptionally well in flight and finds ways to kick goals other than just from marks. He kicks the ball with penetration." - Tasmania U18 coach Mathew Armstrong.
Tasmania representative 2011.

Sam DOBSON (Nth Ballarat Rebels)
DOB: 3/6/93. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 81 kg.
Pos: Medium forward.
"Sam has elite hands. He would be one of the best marks in the TAG Cup. He is a great user of the ball when he gets it and was used this year as a lead-up forward and mid-sized key position player. He looms as an interesting proposition." - Nth Ballarat Rebels region manager Phil Partington.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Sam DOCHERTY (Gippsland Power)
DOB: 17/10/93. Ht: 183cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Sam has been a great story this year. He plays the game at a really good speed; although he doesn't test the quickest, he plays the game quicker than most. He's got a competitive streak in him and is a great kid. He is a terrific handballer and a strong mark for his size. Can play on both smalls and tails and doesn't have too many weaknesses." - Gippsland Power coach Adam Dovvie.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Jordan DOROTICH (East Fremantle)
DOB: 31/10/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 84kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Jordan is the son of former Carlton premiership player Jon who is a developing key position player with good endurance. He played predominantly off half back but did push into the midfield at times. A consistent performer for the Colts all season." - East Fremantle football operations manager Damien Gaspar.

Tom DOWNIE (Nth Ballarat Rebels)
DOB: 27/4/93. Ht: 205cm. Wt: 95kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Tom has basically played 10 games of football in five years. He is an Australian under-17 basketballer who has great endurance and a work ethic. He's very good below his knees and has great athleticism. He would be well worth the effort of an AFL club taking him." - North Ballarat Rebels region manager Phil Partington.

Max DUFFY (East Fremantle)
DOB: 1/4/93.Ht: 185cm. Wt: 79kg.
Pos: Medium forward.
"Played state under-18s last year and is a very clever and elusive forward pocket. Played forward a lot but did get used across half back. Would have caught the eye of recruiters with some dashing runs. When he gets the ball he does something exciting." - East Fremantle football operations manager Damien Gaspar.

Cam EARDLEY (East Fremantle)
DOB: 24/6/93. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 74kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Cam is a very good endurance athlete who is a hard worker in and around the footy and knows how to win the hard ball.There's plenty of upside to him in terms of his football education because I think he's only at the start of that and he's a real sponge when it comes to learning. Plays predominantly a midfield role and can roll across half back if needed." - East Fremantle football operations manager Damien Gaspar.

"Lachie didn't test that well at the draft combine but he has some upside. Needs to improve his intensity, fitness and workrate in games but he can win the ball, is a competent decision maker and his biggest thing is his kicking because he's an elite kick. An aboriginal boy who would really benefit from going to a club with some established aboriginal players who could be role models." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Louis EGGER (NT Thunder)
DOB: 5/6/93. Ht: 184cm. Wt: 74kg.

"Louis was part of our NEAFL premiership team against Ainslie. He had an interrupted year with injury but he is a nice mover who is calm under pressure with his decision making." - NT Thunder coach Murray Davis.

Brandon ELLIS (Colder Cannons)
DOB: 3/8/93. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 83kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Brandon's got an outstanding workrate and was All Australian this year. His best position is probably half back where he sits behind the ball but he can also go into the midfield. I was saying to someone that when I talk to the summer training list next year, I'll say that if they want someone to model themselves on, then you should choose Brandon. He's a super talent and I reckon he's ready to play senior footy." - Calder Cannons coach Martin Allison.

Cameron ELLIS-YOLMEN (Woodville West-Torrens)
DOB: 28/1 /93. Ht: 191 cm. Wt: 88kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Cameron had last year off with a knee reconstruction so he was coming from a way back this year but he did a good job despite finding the workload tough in the middle part of the year. Played mainly as a half back prior to this season when we threw him on the ball because he just has the attributes to be a ball winner. He's part Papua New Guinean and part indigenous and is a big lad at 191 cm or so. His draft camp results exceeded what we may have thought he could do, which was really pleasing." - WWT talent manager Shane Grimm.
South Australia representative 2011.

Todd ELTON (Dandenong Stingrays)
DOB: 29/4/93. Ht: 197cm. Wt: 92kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Todd is a 197cm ruckman-forward type who is very athletic, great below his knees, has a good capacity to run and has good speed for his size. Has lots of developing to do, mind you, but that's not a downside, that's just where he's at. He's got to be able to overcome players who are physical on him and I think he started to learn that towards the end of the season when opposition teams were putting their best backman on him and really challenging him. He's certainly going to be a project player but there's lots of upside because of his height, agility and adaptability." - Dandenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.

Ned FALLON (Sandringham Dragons)
DOB: 24/12/93. Ht: 185cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Ned has done a remarkable job to get back from what a lot of kids would have seen as a season-ending knee injury. His finals performances were fantastic and played a big part in us getting through to the grand final. He finished second in our best and fairest as a bottom ager last year and is a really smart footballer who knows his way around the paddock." - Sandringham Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor.

William FARRER (NT Thunder)
DOB: 18/9/90. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 75kg.
Pos: Small forward.
"There has been little bit of interest in him. He is an athletic jumping jack. He kicked five goals in our grand final win over Morningside in the NEAFL northern conference. He's 180-odd centimetres but has even rucked against Giles from GWS when he handled himself quite well." - NT Thunder coach Murray Davis.

Tom FIELDS (Labrador)
DOB: 19/12/92. Ht: 192cm. Wt: 84kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Tom is the son of Neville Fields. He played a bit of under-18 footy in 2010 and really stepped up this year. He played centre half back and is a beautiful left foot kick. He has had a shoulder injury and missed the intensive testing at the state screen. He did well on Nick Haynes against the Stingrays mid year." - Queensland talent manager Bob Batty.

Michael FLORIO (Perth)
DOB: 28/2/91. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Michael is someone who was probably unlucky not to go when he was 18 and I think there was some question mark over his hardness but that has really developed over the past two years. Played every game of league footy for us on a wing this season and did well. He's got a massive engine, doesn't look quick but never gets caught and always has time. Can kick it a mile, which will really help him with the way the game is going." - Perth football manager Darren Solomon.

Alex FORSTER (Norwood)
DOB: 14/7/93. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 81 kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Alex has been in our system since the under-14s and has played predominantly as a medium defender. He's a skinny kid at the moment but he's a fantastic mark and he can kick both feet." - Norwood talent manager David Ootey.

Sam FROST (Sandringbom Dragons)
DOB: 28/8/93. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 87kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Frosty  has gone from strength to strength this year. He played as a back-up ruck last year but we moved him to centre half back this year. He runs straight at the ball and clubs will be licking their lips at his athleticism and physicality. He needs to tidy up his disposal a bit but his competitiveness is first rate and he turned  the grand final in the ruck in the last quarter." Sandringham Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor

"Dyl is another excitement, but I don't think even he realises how good he can be. He played on Seb Gotch in the grand final and kept him quiet then went into the ruck and did the job there. He is coming from a basketball background and in terms of his athleticism, and upside, he is untapped." - Sandringham Dragons manager Ryan O'Connor.

Corey GAULT (Swan DistrictsJ
DOB: 28/10/92. Ht: 198cm. Wt: 84kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Came on this year like no player I've ever seen to be honest. He was a real gangly kid 12-18 months ago and has developed into a real dynamic, 198cm key forward that I think in time can play that pinch-hit ruck role and key position. Great vertical leap and had 18 touches and kicked a goal on debut for our senior side late in the year. His hands are developing and when that happens he will be even better." - Swan Districts coach Greg Harding.

DOB: N/A. Ht: 186cm. Wt: 74kg.

"Harrison kicked six goals in one of our finals and when we were able to match him against an equal-sized opponent he was just too good for him. Could play wing or half back." - Glenelg manager Brenton Hole.

Alroy GILLIGAN (Claremont)
DOB: 9/7/90. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Alroy is a 21 -year-old who was originally on Richmond's list two years ago but came to us and had a really consistent season in 2011. Got great leg speed, is a good mover although he can be really inconsistent at times. We've had some off-field trouble with him but he's really matured and was second in the WAFL Rising Star Award. Plays as an outside, goalkicking midfielder." - Claremont development officer Sam Cousins.

Sam GORDON (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 31/3/93. Ht: 192cm. Wt: 90kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Sam's on a full scholarship at Geelong Grammar so we didn't see him a whole lot but he had a good year with us. Played pretty well for Vic Country but he would have enhanced his reputation had he kicked a bit straighter. A big kid who will end up with a build like Jonathan Brown. Very raw but is a good mark and has enormous upside with his development." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

Toby GREENE (Oakleigh Chargers)
DOB: 25/9/93. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Toby had a fantastic year and exceeded everyone's expectations. He is a very quiet kid and pre-season it was hard to identify him, but as soon as the practice matches started he came into his own. He is very competitive, his decision-making is very good and he has improved his kicking. Every level he has played at he has been able step up and excel, which is a good sign." - Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart

Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Mitch is a midfielder with a magnificent left-foot kick and great vision.Tested well in the 3km time-trial at the camp which would have pushed his hopes up, I reckon. He's played league footy with us since he was 15 years old. Played two senior games in 2009, in 2010 he played six home and away games and the finals, including the grand final, and this year he struggled to get a league game but came in late and played the finals. He was runner-up in our best and fairest in the under-18s when he was 15. We're hopeful he can get drafted late in the draft" - Norwood talent manager David Oatey.

"Joel is a really raw player who if he gets a chance this year would be a long term project. Really good hands for a key forward but he's still a long way off it in terms of his body. Came down from Broome so hasn't been in our program that long and missed a lot of football this year with injury but came back and played well in the grand final. Great athlete, has good leg speed but needs to work on his intensity and that will come when his body fully develops in a full time system." - Claremont development officer Sam Cousins.

DOB: 1/5/93. Ht: 19 km. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Jake had a great pre-season and started the year well, but then had a hip operation that kept him out for 10 weeks. When he came back he was still able to show all the attributes that make him a nice player. He is a one-grab mark and a very good kick for goal. He should be around the mark." - Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart

Nick HAYNES (Dandenong Stingrays)
DOB: 18/5/92. Ht: !9lcm.Wt: 76kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Nick's very Tom Lynch-like (drafted pick 11, 2010 to Gold Coast) - a great athlete, very good aerobically and ran a really good beep test for a player of his size. He can mark it, pick it up off the ground and moves around the ground really well. A enormous competitor who played with injury at times this year and showed enormous mental strength to push through some adversity, which highlights the constitution of the guy. He was someone originally a bit reluctant to come into our program because he liked hanging out with his mates, but he turned it around for himself and understood the complexities and disciplines required to push himself into an AFL program. Won our best and fairest." - Dandenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.

"Hayden has dropped off the radar a bit this year with an injury interrupted season. Excellent endurance and was close to going to GWS last year. He is still improving his football but can win the ball at will and is very hard. He can play in defence and push into the midfield." - Gippsland Power coach Adam Dowie.

Lewis HENDER (Glenelg)
DOB: 13/9/93. Ht: 187cm. Wt: 88kg.
Pos: Medium forward.
"Lewy is a chance but he needs to work on his endurance to match his speed. Plays forward and would be considered a third forward who is very strong through the hips and is a beautiful left-foot kick. Really great awareness and an ability to push off his opponent. Probably needs to fine tune his body a little bit in terms of weight but he knows that because he's matured over the course of this year." - Glenelg talent manager Brenton Hole.

Matthew HIGGINS (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 24/12/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 75kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Matthew's the brother of Bulldog Shaun who has had some interest. Has had some trouble with his body this year and if he doesn't get drafted he'll come back and play for us next season as a 19-year-old. A back flanker who will turn into a tallish defender/winger and he's a beautiful left-foot kick." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

Bradley HILL (West Perth)
DOB: 9/7/93. Ht: 178cm. Wt: 72kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"He is the younger brother of Fremantle's Stephen Hill who is a different sort of player but has his brother's leg speed, which he showed by running the quickest time at the camp and breaking the record for the beep test. Really came on in the second half of the year as an outside runner with a bit of X-factor. Can kick some uncanny goals." - West Perth football operations manager Brad Lukosius.

Kyal HORSLEY (Subiaco)

"Kyal is a 24-year-old who won our fairest and best and finished second in the Sandover Medal. He's played close to 100 senior games and really came on this season as a midfielder where he won a lot of footy on a consistent basis. A left footer who kicks the ball really well and is just a powerful player." - Subiaco football manager Luke Sanders.

Justin HOSKIN (Port Magpies)
DOB: 7/9/91. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Justin is a mature-aged player who turns 21 next year. He played in our senior side this year after debuting in the early rounds. A real late developer because when he was under-18 he wasn't what you would consider an elite player but he's really come on in recent years. Plays as a medium sized defender, is a good in one-on-one contests, reads the play well and makes good decisions. Neat skills - just a reliable sort of player." - Port Magpies coach Tony Bamford.

Will HOSKIN-ELLIOTT (WesternJets)
DOB: 2/9/93. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 73kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Will played about 11 games as a bottom-aged player because he broke his hand. He matured after going overseas with the AIS-AFL Academy and his carnival games really gave him some confidence in his own ability that he was up to the level. Takes the game on playing wing/ half back, is a really good long kick, is an elite endurance runner and courageous overhead. Easily one of the most exciting players I've coached in four years at the Jets. He'll get picked up quite early, I would have thought." - Western Jets coach Steve Kretiuk.

Probably needs to get a bit more aggressive with his run to attack but he's a really solid defender with a great straight-line speed, great skills on both sides and the capacity to be that really mobile key position player." - Swan Districts coach Greg Harding.

"Mark was on St Kilda's list as a rookie but he got delisted after one season and ended up with us after coming through East Perth.Was top five in our best and fairest, top 10 in the Sandover and on his results at the state screening he will have elevated himself because there was some question over his leg speed but he ran the fastest time of all state and national combines at 2.83 for the 20 metres. He's been supremely focused on getting back into the AFL system. An inside midfielder who gets it out to others." -West Perth football manager Brad Lukosius.

Matthew JACQUIER (Woodville West-Torrens)
DOB: 29/3/93. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium forward.
"Matt had a few shoulder injuries at the start of the year and he probably should have played more reserves footy but because we were reasonably strong at senior level he was held back in the under-18s where he regularly kicked bags of four or five goals. He's very good in a one-on-one marking contest and is very clever with the ball - it's not too often it doesn't hit a target or make the right decision and he has the skills on both sides to back that up." -Woodville West Torrens talent manager Shane Grimm.

Graham JETTA (Swan Districts)
DOB: 11/11/86. Ht: 178cm. Wt: 78kg.

Damien JOHNSTON (Dandenong Stingrays)
DOB: 31/3/93. Ht: 186cm. Wt: 75kg.

Jack JOHNSTONE (Gippsland Power)
DOB: 4/8/93. Ht: 183cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Another success story. He ran a 15 beep test and he kicked well at the combine. He didn't make the program at the Power last year but he has shown enough to suggest he can take the next step this year. He finds the ball, is a good kick and is also nice and tough. He can also take a mark, which not many expect from him." - Gippsland Power coach Adam Dowie.

A strong and aggressive defender who is really reliable, works hard and was probably in our best two players in our two finals despite coming off eight weeks out. A terrific competitor and I really like the way he goes about - he's a bona fide player who can step in and play. As physically as developed as you can be at 18 years of age and plays a physical and defensive style but at the same time knows how to rebound when he gets the chance." - Dandenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.

"Shane was in the mix to be taken last year as a 17-year-old by GWS but just missed out. Played senior footy for us last season as a 17-year-old at full forward and this year started the year in the reserves and hyper-extended his elbow in Round 3 which put him out for four months and forced him to miss the carnival in which I'm sure he would have been WA's centre half forward. Played the last five games for the Colts and played finals, including the winning grand final. He kicked bags of five, seven and six in his last six games of the Colts. There's no better kick at our club, juniors or seniors, than Shane. Good footy smarts and I reckon he'll be taken as one of our higher picks." - South Fremantle football operations manager Brent Dawkins.

There is plenty of interest in him." - Keysborough president Clay Cullen

Tom LEE (Claremont)
DOB: 2/1/91. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 94kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"Tom was originally on Adelaide's list after he was taken as a 17-year-old. A very athletic player who has matured since the Crows delisted him and finished sixth in our best and fairest playing at centre half back. It's a credit to him because this season was the first time he has played as a backman and he relished it. Good in the air, good at killing the contest, can take a mark and kicks the ball well. My knock would be that he maybe lacks the genuine leg speed to play key defender at the next level but he could play that Andrew Mackie-type role." - Claremont development officer Sam Cousins.

Jay LEVER (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 15/6/93. Ht: 200cm. Wt: 86kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"I really like Jay as a player. I wouldn't say he's had the most fantastic year because the state footy knocked him around a bit because they played him in the ruck despite the fact we didn't play him in the ruck because we don't think he's suited to that. He was my No.1 selection at the start of the year, to tell you the truth. He's over 200cm, there's enormous development to come, he's sub three seconds for 20 metres and he's a great kid. Has to learn to win a bit more of the footy but if you go over the tapes, when he's got the ball in his hands he's as good anybody. A great decision maker and is an awesome kick - low and hard over big distances. If he doesn't get drafted, I'd be staggered." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

His old man John played for East Perth so he had the chance to go there under the father-son but decided to stay with us because we were in his zone club. Has been playing down in the south-west with HBL and has been rucking against some quality players and doing well. Played in the landmark country championships and came under some notice by some scouts and we brought him in to play Colts and the following week he played seniors and rucked well against Mitch Andrews from Claremont. There's plenty to like but not sure if everyone has seen enough of him." - Peel Thunder football manager Marty Atkins.

Tony LOCKYER (Nth Ballarat Rebels)
DOB: 3/5/93. Ht: 185cm. Wt: 83kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"We really rate him very highly but he has been injured a fair bit over the past two years with a bad hip. He worked into full fitness and was one of our best players. He is very smart and despite lacking an endurance base due to injury, he is one that clubs should take a close look at." -Nth Ballarat Rebels region manager Phil Partington.

Billy LONGER (Northern Knights)
DOB: 12/5/93. Ht: 202cm. Wt: 96kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Billy is the No.1 ruckman in Australia not playing AFL footy. Captain of the Vic Metro side and a dominant ruckman for his age. His hands and his tapping ability are first class and the improvement came this year with his contested marking and doing it pushing forward. His set shot goalkicking and physicality also improved out of sight. A laid-back sort of kid who has developed a harder edge over the past 18 months." - Northern Knights coach Anthony Allen.

Waylen MANSON (Claremont)
DOB: 24/4/93. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 78kg. Pos: Tall forward.
"Waylen's an 18-year-old and actually got a late call-up to the draft camp after he played some great footy in the landmark country team in which he kicked five goals in the grand final. We kept him down to play two games with the Colts and he kicked 4.5 and then 8.4. Recruiters were all over him after that and he got the call-up to the combine. His strength would be his play reading and contested marking. He's surprisingly quick when he wants to be and he can kick a goal. After the draft camp he went back to Darwin and kicked 27 goals in three games.The question with him will be the commitment because we couldn't keep him in Perth." - Claremont development officer Sam Cousins.

Daniel MARKWORTH (Calder Cannons)
DOB: 3/4/92. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 76kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Daniel was really exciting for us and it's his leg speed that's got recruiters buzzing. Just happens to have that ability to burst away from opponents in the first five metres from a standing start. That type of a talent is very rare. No disrespect to Macedon Footy Club from where he played, but he's coming from a long way back because he was an over-age player for us this year and it was only his first year in the program. A long way to go in terms of his development but there's lots of upside as a medium forward or on-baller." - Calder Cannons coach Martin Allison.

Kyle MARTIN (Noble Park, EFL)
DOB: 17/9/90. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Kyle is a hard-running midfielder with terrific foot skills and balance. He's a bit like Dane Swan in that he's deceptively quick off the mark over the first 5-10 metres. He is a goalkicker from midfield and when he rests up forward he applies outstanding forward pressure." - Noble Park coach Mick Fogarty.

Shaun MARUSIC (Gippsland Power)
DOB: 24/3/92. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 90kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Shaun is a really good size. For someone his size, he plays more like a midfielder and would rather the ball on the ground. He is good on either side of his body. If he could get into a strong program he has enormous scope for improvement." - Gippsland Power coach Adam Dowie.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Damien MASCITTI (Oakleigh Chargers)
DOB: 18/8/92. Ht: 190cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Medium forward.
"Damien won our best and fairest and what he showed during the finals with his footy smarts as a forward and ability to find space should stand him in good stead. He is an elite kick on both sides of his body and has great goal sense booting near 40 goals this year. He looms as a interesting player at the next level." - Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart

Michael MASCOULIS (Northern Knights)
DOB: 27/1/93. Ht: 187cm. Wt: 76kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Michael is very much like Dylan Buckley is that he's had a long-term injury and only played four games with us this year. His asset is his judgment as a winger/half-back type. A left footer and a good user and recruiters loved his lateral movement and precise kicking. A medium sized player who can play around the square." - Northern Knights coach Anthony Allen.

Lincoln MCCARTHY (Glenelg)
DOB: 22/10/93. Ht: 179cm. Wt: 83kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"I've rated Lincoln for two years as one of our most promising players. His problem has been injury because he cracked his knee cap last year and had some complications that interrupted his pre-season so he didn't start until about Round 4. He got himself fit by finals and played some great games late in the season for us. He just can be the most superb kick at times and then dribble one off the end of his boot. He has real power in his legs." - Glenelg talent manager Brenton Hole.

Fraser MclNNES (Perth)
DOB: 19/7/93. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 87kg.
Pos:Tall forward.
"Fraser is very similar off the field to Jaeger O'Meara in terms of the fact he leaves no stone unturned in preparing himself for football. He's got some good lines in the family as he's related to Robert Wiley and Michael Brennan. Played the last game of senior footy for us at centre half forward but has also played at centre half back in our reserves finals. Good on the ground, good in the air and has a really good workrate. For a big guy he has great defensive attributes, which will really help him." - Perth football manager Darren Solomon.

Tim MclNTYRE (Sturt)
DOB: 9/4/89. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 80kg.
Pos: Small forward.
"Tim's a former Murray Bushranger and AIS member who has been with us for three years and has improved each season. Kicked about 25 goals in the senior side this year and was a regular member all season.There's been some interest from the Crows. If you're looking for a mature bloke whose been around a bit and played some senior footy then he fills the bill." - Sturt football manager Dwayne Massey.

Brad McKENZIE (Sturt)
DOB: 29/5/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 75kg.

"Outstanding leader. He is a real professional whose preparation is second to none. He is also a true competitor who just finds a way to beat his opponent and a way to win. His hands are good in close and his kicking is good enough. He reminds me of a Brad Sewell." - Tasmania UI8 coach Mathew Armstrong.

Jackson MERRETT (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 27/2/93. Ht: 187cm. Wt: 70kg.

"Jackson played really well for us all year playing a little bit as an inside midfielder but probably a bit better outside. Has a great attitude to his footy and has had to deal with the fact his Mum has got MS but he hasn't missed a beat in terms of training and games, which is a credit to him and his family. Wins the footy, is a good decision maker, has great skills and athletically he's sub three seconds for the 20 metres. A good kid." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

Sam MICHAEL (Redlands)
DOB: 5/7/93. Ht: 198cm. Wt: 96kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Didn't test at the state screen, due to a tweaked hamstring. He is a lump of a lad who has played as a key defender but can play both ruck and key forward. He put his hand up to play on Patton against Vic Metro and even though Jon kicked five he tried hard. He is very versatile and has good endurance. He is very similar to Charlie Dixon but a better mark." -    Queensland talent manager Bob Batty.

Darren MINCHINGTON (Dandenong Stingrays)
DOB: N/A Ht: 181 cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Small forward.
"Darren came in and kicked multiple goals for us - very much in the Jarryd Blair mould in that he's a small, quick, industrious forward. Didn't make our under-16s side but he improved his fitness over pre-season and he played some good senior footy and then we invited him down in the middle of the year. Type of player who only has to touch the ball eight times to have an impact on the game." - Dondenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.

Tom MITCHELL (Claremont)
DOB: 31/5/93. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 73kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Tom just hunts the footy and he'll be an SCG specialist for Sydney. The one knock on him is that he might be a bit one-paced; mind you, he rarely gets caught. Wins the footy inside the contest and can distribute it well." - Claremont development officer Sam Cousins.

Doug MORRIS (Northern Knights)
DOB: 27/9/93. Ht: 183cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Doug was our captain who won our best and fairest and showed his durability by playing every game. He headed lots of stats for the TAG Cup in terms of possessions and I think he averaged 31 disposals a game and was up there in uncontested marks and contested ball. Uses the ball well, a good kick both feet and can play all over the place.The knock on him is that he's less agile than some of the kids and maybe not as quick." - Northern Knights coach Anthony Allen.

Jordan MURDOCH (Glenelg)
DOB: 23/2/92. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium forward.
"Jordan is a really quick player who came close to smashing the all-time record for the 20-metre sprint by running 2.76 seconds. A rangy kid who is the son of Roger, who played 170-odd games for Norwood, and he's a real goalkicker. Probably hasn't taken the game on at senior level like he does at junior level where he just dominated. Done some freakish things, mind you, at senior level but maybe lacks a bit of confidence at times. He has got massive upside." - Glenelg talent manager Brenton Hole.

Nick MURPHY (Oakleigh Chargers)
DOB: 22/3/93. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"GWS nearly took Nick last year but thought he was a bit immature. He is a good decision maker and has a load of ability but the penny dropped for him with his workrate. He kept working hard at training and internally we saw that so we tried to keep his confident levels up. Once we got a bit of a better side and the delivery improved, so did Nick's form. I'd say he is back on the draft radar." - Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart.

Michael MUSICKA (South Launceston)
DOB: 25/3/93. Ht: 185cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"If you asked me at the start of the year, he would have been my number one Tassie boy. He had a bit of a down year but came good towards the end of the championships. He is a good kick, and is powerful and quick. He can also take a catch and is versatile in that he can play all over the ground. He has x-factor." - Tasmania U18 coach Mathew Armstrong.
Tasmania representative 2011.

Lachle NEALE (Glenelg)
DOB: 24/5/93. Ht: 177cm. Wt: 73kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"A small but strong player who had 42 possessions in the under-18 grand final and won the medal in a losing side. Just a freak ballwinner but whether he's got AFL written over him is a question mark. Played seven league games and he might be a rookie chance." - Glenelg talent manager Breton Hole.

Shane NELSON (West Perth)
DOB: 11/5/93. Ht: 179cm. Wt: 73kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Shane was elevated to the senior group after laying state under-18s and while he didn't lay senior footy he acquitted himself well at reserves level, just one of those midfielders who accumulates possessions and kicks it well, which he showed by winning the kicking test at the draft camp." -West Perth football operations manager Brad Lukosius.

He's a young indigenous boy with great goal sense, great lateral movement and while he's a genuine small I believe in time he can be very good at AFL level at contested footy. A hard kid, a competitor, he covers the ground really quickly, he's got a neat left foot and he can finish around goals. There's that little bit of x-factor about him." - Swan Districts coach Greg Harding.

"Jack was unlucky not to be taken by GWS last year as a 17-year-old and the improvement in him this year is his physicality because we played him a lot inside. He was able to beat players instead of receive it on the outside. Previously played down back and has played forward but his primary spot is the wing where he can use his penetrating kick." - Northern Knights coach Anthony Allen.

"It was Brett's first year in our program this year and he really developed after coming in and training with us at the end of 2010. Topped our goalkicking and won our most improved and that was mainly because he worked on his aerobic capacity and that allowed him to get up and down the ground a lot better. Played mainly as a hit-up forward after starting at full forward and boasts a booming and accurate kick on him anywhere from 40 to 60 metres. I think he's a bona fide forward but could push up the ground a bit a as a high half forward." - Dandenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.

He is a very good mark, is a nice size and kicks the ball really well. He is one that certainly has AFL qualities." - Oakleigh Chargers

"Jackson is one of those kids who you love playing with you, not against, because he certainly makes his presence felt. He missed the draft camp as he broke his thumb before half time in the grand final but he played out the game with it, as he is as hard as nails. He can play forward and back and has played in the midfield at TAC Cup level. He is a real competitor and his second efforts are a feature." - Sandringham Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor.

"Once Jon realised he was a top three pick he's been gearing himself for Greater Western Sydney. There has been a lot of hype about him, but I'm convinced he can live up to it. He just wants to start training so he can have an impact in Round 1 next year. His influence and his imposing nature to split a game open are his biggest features. He is a key forward who marks the ball at it's highest point and he just wants  the ball. I love players like that." - Eastern Ranges region manager Anthony Parkin.

He's a key position player who spent some time playing in the ruck this year for the under-18s but he's probably an AFL key position player. A good athlete, massive vertical jump and he's got a good engine although he didn't test that well at the state screening because he was feeling ill that day." - Port Magpies coach Tony Bamford.

A player from our country zone he plays half forward and last season he kicked a couple of bags of 12 goals for his local senior side. He was runner-up in our Colts best and fairest this year, played senior football late in the year and was very good for WA against Vic Country at the carnival. A really hard worker who just loves football and he'll get a home, I would imagine." - South Fremantle football operations manager Brent Dawkins.

Brede SECCULL (Sandringham Dragons)
DOB: 24/11/93. Ht: 183cm. Wt: 85kg.

"Ripper kid who is captain of footy and cricket at Haileybury. He is very highly respected within our side. He is a bigger bodied midfielder who wins contested ball and while he may lack a yard or two in pace, he tested well at the state screening.

He's got elite endurance - finished top five in the beep test — and third or fourth in the 3km time-trial. A really happy young bloke who enjoys life and has a bit of fun and then when he needs to he just knuckles down. Covers an enormous amount of ground and once he gets to contests he's got a great ability to influence the outcome, which is a huge strength to have in today's footy." - Colder Cannons coach Martin Allison.

Got a touch of arrogance about him, which is good for a kid because you don't want introverts, and he's a real leader as well. Wins a lot of the footy, great decision maker and is an awesome kick. What's elevated him is while a hip operation at the start of the year set him back a little, he hit the ground running late in the year and in the fitness testing protocols at the draft camp he was top 10 in four of them - speed repeat, beep test, vertical jump and clean hands. What's happened is that everyone said he was going to get drafted top 10, then things got reassessed but with those tests he came right back into early calculations again." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

"Lachie is one who has come out of nowhere in a sense. His marking on the lead and in contested situations are real features of his game along with his kicking on both sides of his body. His improvement over the past 12 months has been enormous." - Murray Bushrangers region manager Andrew Carson.

Scott SPRIGGS (Nth Ballarat Rebels)
DOB: 4/1/93. Ht: 183cm. Wt: 72kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Scott has outstanding endurance. He would have won the beep test at the Combine - he ran a 16.3 at the Draft Star testing. At the start of the year he played good footy but then went off the boil a bit but with his test results, he could jump out of the pack." - North Ballarat Rebels region manager Phil Partington.

Lee SPURR (Central Districts)
DOB: 27/7/87. Ht: 185cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Lee's a 22-year-old player who has played senior footy for us for the past couple of years and finished second in our best and fairest this year. Can play at either end of the ground and is one of those ones who has been on the radar for a couple of years but this year is probably the most interest anyone has shown in him. He's the type of player who can turn a game when you put him forward and capable of taking a good mark." - Central District development manager Scott Stevens.

Jordan STALEY (Gippsland Power)
DOB: 14/7/93. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 90kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Jordan had a quiet patch mid year but finished off well with a good game against Calder up forward. An excellent contested mark and a thumping kick. He can also pinch-hit in the ruck if needed and is one who will blossom in a full-time program under good coaching." - Gippsland Power coach Adam Dowie.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Jackson STARCEVICH (Morningside)
DOB: 18/2/93. Ht: 194cm. Wt: 83kg.
Pos: Tall forward.
"Had OP and thus had an interrupted pre-season. Came into the program late and kicked five goals against Calder late in the TAC Cup. He continued to improve and played in Morningside's seniors throughout the finals where he contributed well. He is best suited as a key forward and had an operation recently for a hip impingement." - Queensland talent manager Bob Batty.
Queensland representative 2011.

Toby STRIBLING (South Adelaide)
DOB: 13/3/87. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Toby was on Fremantle's list for a few years and we recruited him from North Adelaide after he spent two seasons with them. We brought him across with the idea of developing his defensive side and that's what we've been able to do. He finished second in our best and fairest and was named in the SANFL team of the year." - South Adelaide football and talent manager Neil Shorpe.

Liam SUMNER (Sandringham Dragons)
DOB: 16/8/93. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 73kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Liam is an excitement machine. He has added another dimension to his game having worked hard to add some endurance to his explosiveness and his overall package. His second efforts and one-percenters are right up there with the elite and he is actually a hard little nut. He looms as a definite first-round pick and is a credit to himself with how hard he has worked." - Sandringham Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor.
Vic Metro representative 2011.

Cameron SUTCLIFFE (Woodville-West Torrens)
DOB: 23/5/92. Ht: 185cm. Wt: 75kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Cameron was first year out of the under-18s this year and put in a really big pre-season and played Round 1 in the league side. Would have played six to eight senior games and finished the year off strongly in the reserves and he's had quite a few clubs interested. He's got a huge engine and did a 15.5 beep test at the state screening having done all the other testing on the same day, so that was a big effort. Good skills and runs all day." -WWT talent manager Shane Grimm.

Cameron SYMONDS (East Fremantle)
DOB: 23/9/92. Ht: 201cm. Wt: 97kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Cameron is a left-footed ruckman who marks the ball well for his size but is still very much developing. He's got reasonable skills for a player over 200cm. Rucked for the Colts side and occasionally spent time in the forward pocket where he kicked some goals." - East Fremantle football operations manager Damien Gaspar.

"Tags' is an elite mark and elite kick.A few knocks were his endurance and work ethic but he has gotten to the stage where he can now work through the pain barrier and keep on going. He has plenty of attributes that can see him go a long way with his football." - North Ballarat Rebels region manager Phil Partington.
Vic Country representative 2011.

Michael TALIA (Calder Cannons)
DOB: 11/2/93. Ht: 191cm. Wt: 87kg.
Pos:Tall defender.
"Michael is the brother of Adelaide's Daniel who is a tall defender and his trick is that he reads the play exceptionally well and makes great decisions about spoiling or marking. He is also a really attacking defender but showed at the national carnival that he can play a lock down role closer to goal if needed. We played him across half back and he had a lot of rebound 50s and entries into our forward 50." - Colder Cannons coach Martin Allison.

DOB: 6/1/93. Ht: 197cm. Wt: 89kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"He won our most valuable player in our under-18 program this year. He was very consistent in all game playing mostly as centre half forward with a run in ruck at stages. He takes a lot of one-grab marks like Sam Michael and played senior footy with Southport this year. He had a lot of tuition from Roger Merrett over the past few years so that has helped him with his footy." - Queensland talent manager Bob Batty.
Queensland representative 2011.

Anthony TIPUNGWUTI (NT/Gppsland Power)
DOB: 22/4/93. Ht: 174cm. Wt: 92kg.
Pos: Small forward.
"We played him as a small forward and inside midfielder. He is smart in traffic and carries the ball well and is good on both sides of his body. He needs to get fitter but he looms as a rookie chance." - NT Thunder talent manager Wally Gallio.
Northern Territory representative 2011.

Adam TOMLINSON (Oakleigh Chargers)
DOB: 10/8/93. Ht: 192cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Tall defender.
"He had a great last six weeks of the season. I think that was down to him being back at our club whereas during the year he had plenty on his plate with AIS. Vic Metro, school footy and TAG Cup. His versatility as a key back, key forward or even as a runner through the midfield is his biggest asset. He tested really well at the combine and makes himself a really attractive prospect for AFL clubs." - Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart.

Tim TOTEVSKI (Northern Knights)
DOB: 5/8/93. Ht: 173cm. Wt: 66kg.
Pos: Small forward.
"Tim played at the national carnival and played most of the games as small forward. Really good pressure skills, is quick, tackles well but probably didn't just kick enough goals while doing it. A super quality kid with a big engine and I know some of the AFL sides are interested in him." - Northern Knights coach Anthony Allen.

Cameron TUDOR (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 29/6/92. Ht: 195cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Cam was a 19-year-old player for us and his father (David) played VFL football for Geelong back in the 1980s. Might be a late draft or rookie chance. Played in the ruck for us and he's the modern type ruckman who can play other roles and is very athletic." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

Mitchell TURNBULL (Western Jets)
DOB: 20/4/93. Ht: 186cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"There's been a bit of interest in Mitch after his last final in which he kicked four goals in a quarter. Missed a lot of footy through injuries like broken fingers, a broken wrist and those unfortunate things that happen. He was invited down to trial for Vic Metro but broke his wrist and couldn't play. A medium half-back-flanker who uses the ball well, a good decision maker and has that capacity to push up the ground and kick goals, as he did in that last match." - Western Jets coach Steve Kretiuk.

Gibson TURNER (NT Thunder)
DOB: 22/7/93. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 70kg.

He is very good on both sides of his body and seems to have plenty of time even in congested situations." — NT Thunder coach Murray Davis.

Josh TYNAN (Gippsland Power)
DOB: 6/11/93. Ht: 185cm. Wt: 76kg.

Dom TYSON (Oakleigh Chargers)
DOB: 8/6/93. Ht: 186cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"I think Dom has had a big year in terms of improvement. Everyone knew that he was an elite inside midfielder but they wanted to see if he could add an outside game to that, and he certainly has done it. He has also become a goalkicker and taken some marks so that has been pleasing. We don't normally go with a private schoolkid as captain, but his leadership is outstanding so we couldn't ignore him." — Oakleigh Chargers region manager Mark Smart

Ozgur UYSAL (Calder Cannons)
DOB: 5/8/92. Ht: 179cm. Wt: 74kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Ozgur finished second in our best and fairest with Tom Sheridan. A midfielder who really came on in the second half of the year and played as the 23rd player for Coburg in the VFL in a few games, he really improved from that time on. Wins his own footy, sticks his nose over it all the time, can break away from packs and kicks it well." - Calder Cannons coach Martin Allison.

Steven VERRIER (South Fremantle)
DOB: 24/6/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 82kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Steven's a half-back flanker who did the pre-season with the senior side but copped a bad injury in a pre-season game which put him out of the action for three to four months. Upon returning he went back to the Colts side and then later in the year made his senior debut. A really good runner, great character of a kid and can play either end but I reckon half back is his best spot. Kicks it well, does need to find the footy a bit more but that will come." - South Fremantle football operations manager Brent Dawkins.

He's developed himself to become an inside mid as he was more outside, and that has helped him win his own ball and make better decisions." - Eastern Ranges region manager Anthony Parkin.

Dale WALLAM (East Fremantle)
DOB: 12/7/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 73kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Dale is an exciting indigenous kid from Mullewa who is exceptionally quick, has silky skills and can break the lines as a forward. Goes in and out of the game a bit so needs to work on his consistency within games. He's eligible for another year of Colts next season." - East Fremantle football manager Damien Gaspar.

Nick WARNOCK (Murray Bushrangers)
DOB: 12/1/93. Ht: 190cm. Wt: 84kg.
Pos: Medium forward.
"Only had one year in the system after coming late to the Bushrangers via Benalla.Took him a bit of time to break into the side but played as a key forward and has terrific hands. Genuine forward who kicked 11 goals in two weeks mid year and is a very good kick for goal." - Murray Bushrangers region manager Andrew Carson.

Max WARREN (Eastern Ranges)
DOB: 20/1/93. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 78kg.

"Max is an interesting one. He is a genuine wingman/half back with good speed. He doesn't have many deficiencies and I think he will really improve in a full-time AFL environment. He is extremely bright and has plenty going for him." - Eastern Ranges region manager Anthony Parkin.
Vic Metro representative 2011.

Darcy WATCHORN (Nth Ballarat Rebels)
DOB: 30/1/93. Ht: 187cm. Wt: 76kg.
Pos: Medium forward.
"Regarded as the best athlete in his AIS Academy intake. He has all the speed and endurance you could want for an AFL player. We used him mostly as a hit-up forward and on the lead he is hard to stop. He is working hard on his game and looms as a darkhorse should an AFL club pick him up." - North Ballarat Rebels region manager Phil Partington.

Patrick WEARDEN (Murray Bushrangers)
DOB: 6/8/93. Ht: 191 cm. Wt: 75kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Terrific size for a half forward/winger, Patrick has been through our program right from under-14s. He is a left footer who finds a lot of the footy and can really run and break the lines.Versatile player similar to Jack Crisp, and can play at each end of the ground as well as through the midfield." - Murray Bushrangers region manager Andrew Carson.

Jimmy WEBSTER (Glenorchy)
DOB: 28/6/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 72kg.
Pos: Medium defender.
"Jimmy had an injury interrupted year but tested very well at the combine. He had a limited preparation and played well towards the end of the year across half back. He is an elite left footer who is quick. His body needs a bit more development and that will come in a full-time system." - Tasmania U18 coach Mathew Armstrong.
Tasmania representative 2011.

Cam WILLIAMS (Geelong Falcons)
DOB: 9/9/93. Ht: 196cm. Wt: 88kg.
Pos: Ruckman.
"Cam's a Geelong College boy who was restricted to the program because he was rowing at the start of the year. Played really well for us late in the year and he'll come back and play again next year if he doesn't get taken. A ruckman with a great leap." - Geelong Falcons region manager Michael Turner.

Damien WILLIAMS (NT Thunder)
DOB: 21/11/93. Ht: 180cm. Wt: 72kg.
Pos: Small midfielder.
"Damien has been at GWS for the past two years. He is an inside utility type who is pretty smart in traffic. He is a resilient sort of kid who I can't remember ever having an injury. He wins the majority of his ball in close." - NTThunder talent manager Wally Gallic.
Northern Territory representative 2011.

Jason WILLIAMS (Calder Cannons)
DOB: 18/8/93. Ht: 188cm. Wt: 78kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Jason is a tallish wingman who had a very good year for us although he didn't quite reach the heights he got to in last year's finals, but nonetheless it was a very good year. Got some great strengths to his run and carry, breaking lines and his best position is probably the wing. I think he'll fit well into a team down the track." - Calder Cannons coach Martin Allison.

Kelvin WILLIAMS (Darwin)
DOB: 15/12/92. Ht: 189cm. Wt: 79kg.
Pos: Medium defender.

"Leigh is the first on the track, first in the gym and is totally committed to being as good as he can be. He is a strong mark both on the lead and in a contest, he is quite quick and good at ground level. He was double and triple teamed all year yet kicked 80-odd goals." - Norwood football director Wayne Coble.

Marley WILLIAMS (Claremont)
DOB: 22/7/93. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 85kg.
Pos: Medium midfielder.
"Marley's from Albany and a strong-bodied midfielder who can win the ball inside and then find it on the outside as well. Finds a lot of the ball, is explosive with his breakaway speed and for a thicker set player he moves really well laterally.The one thing that lets him down and needs some work is his kicking. I reckon he'd be a high pick if his kicking had a bit more polish." - Claremont development officer Sam Cousins.

Pos: Small midfielder.
"Luke's a local player from our metro zone who came through our centre of excellence program. Played reserves for the first time this year and he's an outside midfielder/small forward with elite speed and kicking skills. He has a really light body so needs to get stuck into the weights but he can break the lines and break open defences with the way he takes the game on. Probably didn't have his best year this year but he's got some AFL qualities." - Port Magpies coach Tony Bamford.

Chad WINGARD (Sturt) '
DOB: 29/9/93. Ht: 182cm. Wt: 70kg.

An exceptional athlete with a huge vertical jump, he's versatile in that he can play wing, on-ball, half forward or forward pocket. He's got elite decision making skills and great skills under pressure. Played some senior footy this year mainly as an on-baller and performed well. Great ability to read the play and anticipates what's happening in front of him all the time. At the elite end in lots of areas." - Sturt football manager Dwoyne Mossey.

He is fantastic overhead for his size, which is a real trick. He is one of the more outstanding young men that I have met and has been a pleasure to have worked with." - Sandringham Dragons region manager Ryan O'Connor.

Piva WRIGHT (Dandenong Stingrays)
DOB: 28/6/93. Ht: 191 cm. Wt: 94kg.
Pos: Tall midfielder.
"Piva is a Mal Michael-type with the broad shoulders, good pace but he still probably doesn't really how hard he's got to work still. Had some standout games against some really good opposition, including a magnificent job blanketing Jonathan Patton when we played the Eastern Ranges. Shows really good qualities for a key defender with his height and pace." -Dandenong Stingrays coach Graeme Yeats.

Stephen WRIGLEY (Labrador)
