2017’S TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS
ADAM CERRA (Vic Metro, Eastern Ranges)
Despite a shoulder surgery bringing his season to an early end, the midfielder is predicted to be an early pick. Similar to GWS star Josh Kelly, Cerra is polished by foot but doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty on the inside with clearances and hard tackling. A strong mark over head for his size.
CAMERON RAYNER (Vic Metro, Western Jets)
Comparisons to Dustin Martin can’t help but boost his draft value. At 187cm he’s the same height as Dusty, plays the same role as the Tigers superstar and has the haircut to match as well. Rayner kicked off his under-18 carnival for Vic Metro with 23 disposals against WA and destroyed SA with 16 possessions, seven marks and five goals.
LUKE DAVIES-UNIACKE (Vic Country, Dandenong Stingrays)
Seen as the outstanding midfielder in the 2017 draft class, the 187cm inside midfielder also has similar traits to Martin or Christian Petracca. While injuries have been an issue in the past, his draft season has been excellent with his stoppage work a highlight.
PADDY DOW (Vic Country, Bendigo Pioneers)
Midfielder with great character who cuts angles, kicks goals, can win clearances and marks overhead. Seven of the eight Victorians the Lions have drafted over the past two years have been country boys. Bagged two goals from 35 disposals on Sunday.
JARROD BRANDER (NSW/ACT, Bendigo Pioneers)
After losing his GWS Academy eligibility, Brander has been in the sights of every team. However, don’t expect him to last long on draft night as the top key forward prospect. At 195cm, the NSW product has the size but also the athleticism to make a mark in the AFL.
DARCY FOGARTY (South Australia, Glenelg)
Fogarty’s under-18 championships campaign was ruined by a knee injury and surgery in July brought his draft season is an early end. However, the South Australian started the year as a No. 1 contender due to his versatility. At 192cm, Fogarty can play forward, across half-back and in the midfield.
JAIDYN STEPHENSON (Vic Metro, Eastern Ranges)
The X-factor option in the 2017 draft, Stephenson has developed into a midfielder with Eastern Ranges this season. His 39-disposal performance against Sandringham certainly caught the eye. At 189cm, the youngster has plenty of upside and could be a surprise selection depending on the club.
