THE AFL Draft Power Rankings are back for another month, with our list of 30 prospects continuing to shuffle by the week. Recent combine invites have further narrowed the crop, though it remains a relatively even bunch past the consensus first-rounders.

In the August edition, a new challenger enters the top five, while two title-winning Allies teammates have snuck into the top 30 for the first time this year. See who made the cut, and keep updated on our changes each week in the Rolling Rankings.

George Stevens is an interesting one.  He is GWV Rebels best player but some think he has reached his ceiling.  He reminds me a lot of Jacob Hopper but a steal if he goes outside 30.

[Diocletian]

Ideal result - Soldo, Graham, Prestia( cooked), Ralphshyte out Get back into the top 10 , grab Caddy , grab Hollands or Thomas, Moir/big mid slider, Naish f/s, Baldwin from Essendon, Sellers Norf VFL upgrade Yassine & Lefau, Brindley/cheap ruck or upgrade El Nour and develop Biggy in the ruck to replace Slomo. All moot because none of this will happen except maybe trading Ralphshyte.

Ashton Moir
Forward
Club: Glenelg/Plympton

State: SA
Age: 15/04/05
Weight: 84kg
Height: 188m

2023 SANFL U18s: 88 ranking points, 12.5 disposals, 5.8 marks, 5.5 score involvements, 3 tackles, 2.2 goals (6 games) 2023 National Champs: 66 ranking points, 9.8 disposals, 3.3 marks, 3.3 score involvements, 0.8 goals (4 games)

The freakishly-skilled forward, who booted 30 goals in 10 SANFL under-18 matches in a standout bottom-age season in 2022, is a top-10 pick on talent. But, after dividing his time between Glenelg’s under-18s and reserves this year, and battling a hip injury, he’s failed to really enhance his standing. Moir had 17 disposals and two intercept marks playing more behind the footy against Vic Metro and then booted two goals against Vic Country. His best is undeniable but he’s battled for consistency – in games and across the season.

So is our first pick going to be pick 30?

[pmac21]

Not the right thread but Van Rooyen is a dud. 

[Diocletian]

No he isn't, he's still a kid  - will be a gun. 

[The Machine]

Not the right thread but Van Rooyen is a dud.

Not sure he is a dud but boy, very much overrated.

[Diocletian]

Kid's 21 - Jack didn't play well in a final until he was nearly 28. 

[mightytiges]

Actually, JVR is still only 20 (and 144 days) and played only his 20th game tonight (all in 2023) which was his first final. He's kicked 28 goals so far.

At that comparable age (20 yrs 146d), Jack was playing Round 1, 2009 which was his 27th game. Up to that point he had kicked 26 goals. Jack didn't play in his first final until he was 24 for 11 possies and 1 goal. He didn't play in a winning final until he was 28.

Harsh to pick on a young bloke like JVR when more experienced forwards like McDonald and Fritsch had absolute mares and cost the Dees a home Prelim. I'd gladly have JVR at Tigerland which we could have as we overlooked him at pick 17 in the 2021 draft.

[Andyy]

JVR is in his second season lol

Slammed on the muscle when he was drafted and has kicked nearly 30 goals in his first proper season.

He's one of the most promising KPFs of the last few years and we botched it big time despite the warranted hype.

[georgies31]

Some here got blinkers in lol. It's not about Brown v JVR it's about our recruitment team not addressing needs.

[one-eyed]

Any thoughts on Riley Weatherwill from Eastern Ranges? 195cm key forward who has kicked 4 and 3 goals respectively in his two finals so far. 31 goals in his 13 games for the year.
