OVER the next four days, Rookie Me Central will take a look at all the Victorian Country and Metro players who were named in the 2022 Victorian State Hub ahead of the 2022 season. Both top-age (2022 AFL and AFLW Draft-eligible) and bottom-age (2023 AFL and AFLW Draft-eligible) have been included, and we’ll run through a few to watch as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
>> 22 IN 2022: A look ahead to next year’s top prospects<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A classy midfielder who also blends hard ball winning into his game, Clark was a representative standout and made his mark across six NAB League outings. He works hard around the ground but also wins his own ball at the contest, proving an able user with both feet and a clean handler of the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >> JHYE CLARK PLAYER PROFILE & NEWS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fans will recognise the Hollands name from brother Elijah<\/strong> and father, Ben<\/em><\/strong>, but Ollie is the next in line ready to make a splash. He\u2019s a smaller midfielder at 182cm but is growing quickly, and has some of the flair of his elder sibling with great balance, versatility, and drive on the uptake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >> OLIVER HOLLANDS PLAYER PROFILE & NEWS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A hard working inside midfielder who finds plenty of the footy, Long possesses some of the cleanest hands going around. He attacks the contest with ferocity and while he can sharpen up his kicking, is a fantastic exponent of the handball. He is a tough and consistent competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >> NOAH LONG PLAYER PROFILE & NEWS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A classic rebounding defender who can also play on either side of midfield, Schuback offers sound use of the ball by foot over both short and long distances. He is clean and cool in a crisis, but catches the eye most when taking the game on with his run and proactive decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n >> JONTI SCHUBACK PLAYER PROFILE & NEWS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaxon Binns<\/a> (Dandenong Stingrays | 181cm, 74kg) <\/p>\n\n\n\nONES TO WATCH<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
