Grading draft hopefuls is a very subjective process. What one person may like in a player, may be seen as a flaw by another draft watcher. As a result it is very difficult to compare players as many people will have different perspectives and ratings of players. As a way to combat this I have devised a statistical rankings formula, similar to Dream Team and Supercoach points, where players are ranked according to their statistical output with higher weightings given to particular stats depending on their position, and games played in senior or reserve grade given a weighting to allow for the step up in class. This is by no means my personal rankings of the players, nor is it where I expect them to land on draft day but it does provide an insight into the seasons of the players. My Champs rankings can be found here.<\/a>

    Reece McKenzie, the powerful key forward from Northern Knights, tops the rankings on the back of a blistering finish to the season where he recorded two scores of over 200 points. To put this massive achievement into perspective, only five scores of 200 points have been awarded since I have used this ranking system\u00a0\u2013 Christian Petracca\u2019s 215 against Geelong Falcons last season, Jack Steele\u2019s 202 against Calder, Jack Hayes\u2019 214 \u00a0for Woodville-West Torrens and McKenzie\u2019s 209 against Northern Territory and 240 against Eastern Ranges.<\/p>\n

    Versatile South Australian tall Jack Hayes came in second, compiling huge numbers in the SANFL Under 18s after returning from the Championships where he played as a key defender. However he played a different role for his club roaming around the ground as he pleased and pinch hitting in the ruck.<\/p>\n

    Sandringham overager Taylor Grace finished third after a fantastic season where he accumulated possessions with ease. Tasmanian midfielder Tim Jones had a fantastic series of matches in the TAC Cup and came in fourth while many people\u2019s tip to be the number one selection, Christian Petracca came in fifth after a move into the midfield.<\/p>\n

    Notable players to miss out on the top 50 include promising tall Sam Durdin (109th) who dominated in the finals for West Adelaide Under 18s but struggled against the bigger bodies as a key defender in the SANFL seniors, Collingwood father-son prospect Darcy Moore (100th), Murray utility Caleb Marchbank (60th), Oakleigh star Jordan De Goey (62nd), Geelong\u2019s versatile swingman Hugh Goddard (67th), Calder excitement machine Paul Ahern (137th) and speedy Western Australian Jarrod Pickett (53rd).<\/p>\n
