Alex Martini

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "A half-back flanker who can play on the inside with senior league experience"

Gryan Miers

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "A pure footballer who has the footy smarts, goal sense and X-factor which overshadows his lack of pace. Miers has a huge tank and his big-game ability came to the fore in the TAC Cup Grand Final when he kicked seven goals."

Oscar Allen

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "Oscar Allen is an athletic key forward who may be the first tall forward drafted on draft night." 

Kane Farrell

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "Kane Farrell is one of the more underrated players in the draft crop with a great mix of skill, speed and composure. He occasionally does a little too much and could build his tank further, but overall he is a talented player."

Angus Schumacher

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "Angus Schumacher was one of the best rebounders in the TAC Cup and used his penetrating kick to effect coming out of defence. At times his kicking was wayward under pressure and needs to improve his endurance and athleticism"
