Dragons jumped the Rebels with an 6 goal to zero 1st quarter, reasonably even after that.

Anyone keeping up with the draft know if Joe Berry will be available at Dogs (Geelong’s) pick 15 or whatever it blows out to with academies?

A few years back, a mate's son was "guaranteed" by 3 clubs that they would take him if available at their mid/late first rd picks. They all then didn't lol. One of them also then had an early 2nd....still didn't pick him lol.

Ending up getting picked by a club later in 2nd rd who had given him next to no indication.

Draft night has a life of its own for some/many.

Was this Tom Lamb by any chance?

But yes, you’re right- no guarantees until the name is called out. Just never know who clubs may rate over others.

No idea if he's on AFL club's radars but can't help but admire Dom Brew's leadership and passion.

Runaway JJ Liston Trophy winner, then backed up with 31 touches including 27 contested possessions in the Grand Final yesterday. I'm sure he has AFL limitations, but a pure heart-and-soul player - massive will for the contest and never-give-up attitude.

Seems like a ripping bloke, would love to see him get a crack somewhere.

SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS​

Levi Ashcroft

28 disposals, 8 marks, 7 inside-50s, 3 goals

The Brisbane Lions father-son prospect would be the No.1 pick if he were in an open draft. Ashcroft was simply sublime, capping a standout finals campaign with the Dragons. He started onball, before spending some time rotating forward. Some of his clearance work was brilliant, he used the footy well and he was kicking goals from everywhere. He snapped a great goal from tight on the boundary during the second quarter and kicked a beautiful drop punt from 40m out on the boundary line during the third term.

Sam Marshall

28 disposals, 5 marks, 6 inside-50s, 2 goals

A Brisbane Lions Academy member, Marshall only enhanced his standing in this year’s draft pool with a best-on-ground performance. He spent most of the day in the midfield and got involved multiple times in some possession chains, helped by running power, strong agility and clean hands. His groundball work also caught the eye, as did a one-handed loose ball gather in the second quarter which resulted in a snap goal from the pocket. Along with two goals himself, Marshall set up teammates for multiple score assists. He shapes as another beauty for Brisbane.
Lennox Hofmann

13 disposals, 5 marks, 4 rebound-50s

A St Kilda Next Generation Academy member, Hofmann has been a big improver this year and was one of the Dragons’ best in the Grand Final. A 190cm key defender, he was rock-solid down back spending time on dangerous Rebels key forwards Jonty Faull and Floyd Burmeister. He read the play well and recorded four intercept marks. There should have been a fifth, which was dropped in the third quarter, but Hofmann calmly mopped up. He also got some important spoils in at times. A player with plenty of promise.

Adrian Cole

5 disposals, 1 mark, 3 tackles

Similar to Hofmann, Cole is a rapidly-improving 195cm key defender who is also linked to St Kilda’s Next Generation Academy. With Dragons interceptor Luke Trainor missing the Grand Final through concussion, Cole and Hofmann had to step up – and they did. Cole is very much a lock-down defender and performed that role well against Rebels key forwards Jonty Faull and Floyd Burmeister to also finish among Sandringham’s best players in the win.

Harry Armstrong

8 disposals, 5 marks, 3 tackles, 4 goals

A strong-marking 195cm key forward who has attracted increasing interest from clubs since the under-18 national championships, Armstrong was the leading goalkicker on the ground in the Grand Final with four majors. He competed well and crashed packs – which is exactly what you want from a key forward. He’s also a beautiful set-shot goal. Three of Armstrong’s four goals game from set shots, while his one behind hit the post. There’s plenty of excitement about a player who is now expected to be a top-10 selection in November.
Murphy Reid

8 disposals, 1 goal

If you only saw the stats sheet, you would be puzzled as to why Reid was so quiet. The 180cm midfielder has been a consistent performer at all levels this season and regularly racks up plenty of ball with his clean hands and neat kicking going forward, which is why he is considered a top-10 draft prospect. Reid started the Grand Final well, with seven disposals and a goal in the opening quarter. However, he was hampered by a minor ankle issue and then suffered a knock to the knee early in the third quarter which ended his day early.

Harrison Oliver

17 disposals, 5 marks, 3 inside-50s

A small rebounding defender with a piercing left-foot kick, Oliver provided some good run and bounce off half-back. He came from the field early in the second quarter after being crunched in a marking contest, but later returned and had a reasonable afternoon.

Mitch Kirkwood-Scott

21 disposals, 10 marks, 8 rebound-50s

A 178cm rebounding defender, Kirkwood-Scott caught the eye with his running and bouncing off half-back. He broke the lines, read the play well, used the ball beautifully and showed a penetrating kick at times. It capped a strong season for Kirkwood-Scott, who was a gun junior cricketer before turning his attention to football.

GREATER WESTERN VICTORIA REBELS ​

Ollie Hannaford

24 disposals, 2 marks, 9 tackles, 7 inside-50s

Earlier this year, recruiters thought they might be able to secure Hannaford with a very late draft pick. That is no longer the case. Hannaford started the year well at half-back but was even better after switching forward in the second half of the season. In the Grand Final he spent most his time in the midfield against the likes of Levi Ashcroft and Sam Marshall and held his own. Hannaford has good burst speed, can break the lines with his run and bounce, wins his own footy and applies plenty of tackling pressure when the footy is not in his possession. He kicked the Rebels’ first goal of the game midway through the second quarter – a set shot on a tight angle from outside 50m.

Jonty Faull

10 disposals, 5 marks, 6 inside-50s

A 195cm key forward, Faull was sidelined until June finished the year well. Recruiters still wonder if his back injury is hampering him a little, but Faull was a workhorse throughout the Grand Final. He presented well pushing higher up the ground as a link-up player and took some nice marks in the air. He only had one shot on goal in the fourth-quarter, though, missing a set shot.
Jack Ough

21 disposals, 7 marks, 5 tackles

A big bodied 194cm midfield who can also push forward, Ough is hard-at-it and a great size. He was tough in the contest and worked hard to find the footy throughout the day. He copped a heavy knock in the third quarter which felled him, but Ough picked himself up and played on.

Floyd Burmeister

10 disposals, 3 marks, 6 hitouts, 2 goals

The mobile 198cm forward who has been making the Rebels go ‘Wow’ in recent weeks had some more big moments. He plucked a one-handed mark in the last quarter and went back to slot a nice set shot goal. When he was rotating in the ruck, Burmeister put his huge leap on display for all to see. He’s also tough and competitive around the contest and wasn’t afraid to throw his weight around and make his presence felt on the field.

Rhys Unwin

19 disposals, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 6 inside-50s

Another strong performer for the Rebels, the 178cm small forward impressed again through the midfield in the absence of the injured Sam Lalor. Unwin is clever in traffic and uses the ball well on his preferred left-foot, with his midfield stint late in the year showing the versatility that he offers.

Harry Charleson

12 disposals, 3 marks, 3 rebound-50s

The younger brother of Port Adelaide’s Lachlan Charleson, the 182cm rebounding defender had a big first half of the year but a quieter finish. He had only three disposals in the first half, but lifted his output after the main break.
