This year’s prospects will look to prove themselves at the AFL under-18 championships, which could make or break their dreams.
Bendigo Pioneers midfielder-forward Harley Reid is the overwhelming choice to be the No.1 pick.The AFL Under-18 Championships, which runs until mid-July, will decide many players’ draft fate.The draft is five months away, but the AFL under-18 championships are underway, and they are the best platform for a prospect to put his name up in lights.
That could change if he performs well at the championships. At the same time, there is plenty of confidence he has a decade-plus-long career ahead of him.: “Mitch is an athletic ruckman who can push forward, and he’s a great competitor. The thing clubs love about Mitch is he’s tall but his work-rate and willingness to get involved at ground level is very good.”One of the biggest risers, to the point he is a likely top-10 selection.
His ruckwork is still coming along, but he is showing he can be effective as a forward as well. Talent scouts believe Gold Coast will pay a high price for him, somewhere around the top 10.: “He competes well in the ruck and the air, but his ability to run up and down the ground is what sets him apart from the other talls. He’s the one with the tank.”The best prospect in this year’s crop.
