Tom Anastasopoulos is a crafty small forward who had an impressive 2023 season to put his hand up to be drafted. From the opening couple of rounds, Anastasopoulos showed he could be a threat both offensively and defensively. The Geelong Falcons top-ager booted eight goals in the first fortnight and had 12 majors after Round 4 to be among the most potent scorers in the Talent League.

Though his scoring was a little more scarce after that, he finished with five goals across two games in the finals series. In terms of his improvements, Anastasopoulos could still work on his consistency, particularly within a quarter-to-quarter setting and improve his production rate as well. At his best, he's an energetic two-way threat whose finishing is deadly. Expect him to be a possible late or rookie selection having made great improvements this year.

DRAFT RANGE: Late/Rookie
