\n

IN the midst of football’s long-awaited return, Draft Central<\/em> takes a look at some of this year\u2019s brightest names who have already represented their state in some capacity leading into 2020, or are bolting into draft contention. While plenty has changed between now and then, we will provide a bit of an insight into players, how they performed at pre-season testing,<\/em> and some of our scouting notes on them from last year.<\/p>\n

Next under the microscope in our AFL Draft watch is Sandringham Dragons prospect Max Heath<\/strong><\/a>, a fast rising ruck option in this year’s cohort. While he only managed one outing during last year’s NAB League season among a stacked Dragons squad, Heath put in a couple of big preseason performances to bolt into draft contention. He is also part of the Xavier College APS football side, where he plied most of his trade in 2019. The 202cm bigman has impressed enough to suggest he could become one of the premier rucks available in 2020, perhaps as high as in the top 30 range.<\/p>\n
