Generally, those included are considered leading candidates to be picked up given nominations are submitted directly by AFL clubs. Among the prospects are over-age players who were overlooked in last year&#8217;s National Draft, as well as mature-age state leaguers and a bunch of former AFL-listed players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tasmania Devils over-ager <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"106382\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/geordie-payne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Geordie Payne<\/a> is considered the best chance to be taken by North Melbourne with pick one. The utility has transformed from a rebound defender to a tough, quick and versatile midfielder-forward in 2024. He garnered attention late last year only to be overlooked, but clearly remained on the radar of recruiters and is well placed to earn his chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LIST OF NOMINEES FOR MEDICALS:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luke Beecken (Woodville-West Torrens)<br>Jacob Blight (Peel Thunder)<br>Corey Ellison (Williamstown)<br>Caleb Ernst (Coburg)<br>Max Hall (Box Hill)<br>Ben Hopkins (Dandenong Stingrays)<br>Noah Howes (South Adelaide)<br>Jack Hutchinson (Collingwood VFL)<br>Ajang Kuol mun (Geelong VFL)<br>Matt Ling (Norwood)<br>Remy Maclean (Eastern Ranges)<br>Will McLachlan (Geelong Falcons)<br>Toby Murray (Adelaide SANFL)<br>Tobyn Murray (Geelong VFL)<br>Will Patton (West Adelaide)<br>Geordie Payne (Tasmania Devils)<br>Joe Pike (Geelong Falcons)<br>Kelsey Rypstra (North Adelaide)<br>Jasper Scaife (West Perth)<br>Oskar Smartt (Essendon VFL)<br>Illiro Smit (Eastern Ranges)<br>Brynn Teakle (East Fremantle)<br>Dayten Uerata (Bendigo Pioneers)<br>Lachlan Voss (Sandringham Dragons)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Stay tuned, we&#8217;ll profile all of the above players on draft day.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt; <strong>FULL LIST:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afl.com.au\/news\/1140379\/full-list-of-nominees-for-the-2024-mid-season-rookie-draft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 AFL MSD NOMINEES<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/geordie-payne\/\">Geordie Payne<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE 2024 AFL Mid-Season Draft goes down on Wednesday night, with clubs clamouring to top up their lists with talent.
