Continuing on the list of Football Almanac Top 25's and who would have thought two players from WA called Sam with hyphenated names would feature as elite draft prospects?

Sam Petrevski-Seton Midfielder Western Australia Plays like: Stephen Hill

Midfielder who was a member of the 2015 NAB AFL Under-18 All-Australian team. He recorded a kick rating of +7.2% and rated elite for applying pressure.

Sam Powell-Pepper Midfielder Western Australia Plays like:  Brad Ebert

Averaged 18 disposals, three clearances and one goal in his seven games in the WAFL Colts. Played off half-back in the 2015 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.

Josh Rotham Defender Western Australia Plays like: Cale Hooker

Can play both key forward and key back, as well as in the ruck when required. Selected at centre half-back in the WAFL Colts Team of the Year.

Jonty Scharenberg Midfielder South Australia Plays like: Dion Prestia

Brother of Collingwood's Matthew, he averaged 27 disposals, 13 contested possession and six clearances per game in the SANFL Reserves.

Brad Scheer Midfielder Queensland  Plays like: Dan Hanneberry

Scheer won the Alan McLean Medal as best Division 2 player at the 2014 NAB AFL Under-16 Championships averaging 26 disposals, five clearances and six tackles.

Jack Scrimshaw Defender Victoria Plays like: Grant Birchall

At the 2014 NAB AFL Under-16 Championships he averaged 119 Champion Data ranking points, 20 disposals and three intercept marks per game.

 

Would be happy with either of them 'Jack'...SPS would be a good get for our list, better than Hill I reckon. More tricks and a better ball winner.

This is a great article from Inside Football's Brett Anderson who I believe supports Melbourne. 

I tried to post the link only but it didn't work so I'm posting it as a quote and giving both IF and SEN a plug and I hope they don't mind.

"INSIDE FOOTBALL

AFL Draft | Academy stars top first Big Board

by Brett Anderson 

Seven months of work is still to be done on the 2016 National Draft, but with each passing week the class starts to take shape.

Over the past six weeks, countless hours have been spent watching trials and early season matches either live or on tape, but before we get into the first 2016 edition, here is what the corresponding version looked like just over 12 months ago.

We had Callum Mills at No. 1; Jacob Hopper at No. 2; Charlie Curnow at No. 3; Jacob Weitering at No. 4; and Josh Schache at No. 9. Our only top-10 player who wound up outside the top 15 on draft night was our early No.5 Darcy Tucker (taken at Pick 27 by Fremantle).

This year you could throw a blanket over the top 10 prospects, so it looks less predictable.  As the season progresses, it’s a given that some players will rise up into the rankings (Clayton Oliver and Matt Kennedy last year) while others will drop out.

This is not a mock draft, purely how I rate the prospects so far.

1. Jack BOWES

Ht: 188cm | Wt: 76kg | Surfers Paradise/Gold Coast Academy
Classy ball winner from Cairns who is good overhead for his size and can push forward and hit the scoreboard. He booted four goals to go with 25 touches for the Suns reserves in a trial against Brisbane last month. Has plenty of time in traffic and is clean with his hands. Missed the championships last year after hurting his knee, but will figure heavily for Queensland and the Allies this time around.

2. Harrison MACREADIE

Ht: 195cm | Wt: 82kg | Henty/GWS Academy
Macreadie looked as cool as a cucumber in the back half for the Rams in the national championships last year as a bottom-ager to stamp himself as one of this year’s top prospects. He generally uses the ball well exiting defence, reads it well in the air and has played senior football in the Hume league since he was 16. Has played a bit on a wing and even in centre bounces in recent weeks in the TAC Cup.

3. Hugh McCLUGGAGE

Ht: 184cm | Wt: 70kg | North Ballarat Rebels
Missed a bit of pre-season so he is still working towards full match fitness, but his form in the AFL Academy games and to start the season with the Rebels has been eye-catching. Time can seem to stand still when he has the ball in congestion, he makes great decisions and is brave overhead. Kicked five goals on the weekend to go with 30-plus touches showing that he can also hit the scoreboard from midfield.

4. Ben AINSWORTH

Ht: 179cm | Wt: 74kg | Gippsland Power
Played mostly as a small forward for Gippsland and Vic Country last year as a bottom-ager and was rewarded with All-Australian selection (booted 15 goals in six games). Has planned to move into the midfield on a more regular basis in 2016, which will add another string to his bow. Tweaked his knee in Round 1 of the TAC Cup and was reported on the weekend for two striking incidents so will miss the next four games – including the championships opener.

5. Sam PETREVSKI-SETON

Ht: 179cm | Wt: 70kg | Claremont
Considered “Cyril #2” by some recruiters with the way he can dance through traffic and make the ball talk. Petrevski-Seton (above) comes from Halls Creek in the East Kimberley region and kicks as well on his left side as he does on his natural right. Plays mostly at half forward but can go through midfield and won the Kevin Sheehan Medal for best player in the under-16 carnival in 2014.

6. Will BRODIE

Ht: 189cm | Wt: 82kg | Murray Bushrangers
A running midfielder who has clearly worked hard in the gym over summer and added some size across his chest and shoulders. The AFL Academy’s best player in both outings against VFL opponents (Werribee and Geelong) and averaged 19.8 disposals last year in the TAC Cup and  15.6 in the national championships. Resembles Port Adelaide’s Brad Ebert with his physique and the way he moves.

7. Daniel VENABLES

Ht: 186cm | Wt: 81kg | Western Jets
Venables is a powerful midfielder who can also play in attack. He makes things happen when he is around the ball with his burst from congestion and line-breaking carry. He has averaged nearly five inside-50s a game in his short TAC Cup career. A broken leg last season restricted him to just four games as a bottom-ager but has started the season in good touch with the Jets and PEGS despite a minor knee complaint.

8. Will SETTERFIELD 

Ht: 190cm | Wt: 79kg | Sandringham Dragons/GWS Academy
The Albury native relocated to Melbourne as a 15-year-old and attends Caulfield Grammar. He is a smooth moving midfielder who is now up to 190cm and might still have a bit more growing in him—cue comparisons to Marcus Bontempelli—but in reality he is a different type to the Bulldog star. A quiet country kid at heart and ticks all the boxes with his professionalism.

9. Josh ROTHAM

Ht: 192cm | Wt: 82kg | West Perth
Athletic hybrid defender who is composed with ball in hand. A good organiser in the back half and knows when to leave an opponent to get involved in transition from defence to attack. Still slender but has huge scope for improvement with the potential to push up into midfield. May even wind up as the first Western Australian picked in November.

10. Harry PERRYMAN

Ht: 184cm | Wt: 75kg | Collingullie/GWS Academy
Smart mid/forward who played at half back last year, so has great versatility. He isn't overly quick but always gets to the ball first where he has great ball control and balance on both sides. Played alongside GWS’s Matt Kennedy in the seniors at Collingullie for the past two seasons, booting four goals in last year’s grand final and among the best in the 2014 decider as a 16-year-old. Great to watch each week.

11. Jarrod BERRY

Ht: 191cm | Wt: 80kg | North Ballarat Rebels
The North Ballarat skipper played in last year’s national championships for Vic Country as a bottom-ager across half back and quickly emerged as a player to watch for 2016 averaging 19 disposals and four rebounds per game and was named All-Australian. He has all the athletic and personality traits you look for in an early draftee but his kicking does need some work.

12. Jacob ALLISON

Ht: 193cm | Wt: 73kg | Aspley/Brisbane Academy
Allison is an athletic utility who caught the eye playing with Queensland last year as a bottom-ager at the national championships where he averaged 18 disposals and six marks and four inside-50s. He is a hard runner who can break the lines and kicks the ball with good penetration, but can spray a few. Played five games for the Lions reserves in the NEAFL in 2015 and held his own against the mature bodies.

13. Jy SIMPKIN

Ht: 182cm | Wt: 72kg | Murray Bushrangers
Unfortunately for Simpkin he broke his leg playing for Scotch College in mid-April and will miss the season, however clubs have enough information on him. He is smart in traffic, makes things happen when he has the ball in his hands and an uncanny knack for knowing where the big sticks are. Played mostly as a small forward in 2015 with an eye on a move into the midfield this year.

14. Tim ENGLISH

Ht: 203cm | Wt: 86kg | South Fremantle
A long-term ruck prospect who’s form in the WAFL Colts has been strong having come in as a 19-year-old. He is averaging 26 hit-outs (24 per cent to advantage). He shows good touch at the stoppages with his hits where he can go forward, back, 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock, and he can get involved around the ground, displaying good kicking skills for a player of his size, and is a capable tackler.

15. Todd MARSHALL

Ht: 197cm | Wt: 87kg | Murray Bushrangers/GWS Academy
The former cricketer has turned his sights to footy and quickly caught the eye of scouts in matches with the Bushrangers and Giants reserves in the NEAFL. He is lightly framed but knows where to run and shows good speed to separate from defenders and a good kicking technique. Having come into the system so late, he has plenty of areas to work on, but his upside is big.

16. Joseph ATLEY

Ht: 184cm | Wt: 80kg | Bendigo Pioneers
The brother of North Melbourne’s Shaun is a clearance-winning machine. A different body type to his more athletic brother, but still covers the ground well and his work in close is his main strength. Some 62 per cent of his possessions this season with the Pioneers have been contested, and he is averaging five clearances and four inside-50s a game.

17. Kym LEBOIS

Ht: 174cm | Wt: 65kg | North Adelaide
Hailing from Ceduna, Lebois (above) is a small left footer is blessed with silky skills and the rare ability to turn an opponent inside out within three or four steps. He is the nephew of Aaron and Alwyn Davey and shares similar exciting traits as a small forward and creative midfielder where he is averaging 15 disposals and five inside-50s in the SANFL Under 18s and reserves this year.

18. Brad SCHEER

Ht: 184cm | Wt: 82kg | Palm Beach Currumbin/Gold Coast Academy
Scheer is a physical midfielder who likes the crash and bash. He was named the best Division 2 player at the 2014 Under 16 championships and has been a member of the AFL Academy for two years. Having already tasted senior football in the NEAFL with the Suns reserves (averaged 13 disposals in six matches), he is one of the more physically advanced midfielders in this year’s crop.

19. Shai BOLTON

Ht: 177cm | Wt: 67kg | South Fremantle
A bouncy and exuberant small forward with a bag full of tricks who has started the season in blistering form for the Bulldogs in the WAFL colts. He is a willing tackler inside forward 50 but cat-like at ground level. He also has a great leap – he can sit on your head, and hunts the ball when it hits the deck. He just needs to work on his consistency.

20. Alex WITHERDEN

Ht: 186cm | Wt: 80kg | Geelong Falcons
The St Joseph’s product is just a solid citizen across half back, but he does have the scope to press into midfield as the year progresses to add another dimension to his game. He was a consistent performer last season as a bottom-ager showing good courage in the air, composure with ball in hand and a strong defensive game.

❚ On the watch list:
Andrew McGrath (Sandringham Dragons), Brandon Parfitt (North Adelaide), Calvin Thorne (Peel Thunder), Declan Watson (Aspley/Brisbane Lions Academy), Harrison Bult (Western Jets), Harry Morrison (Murray Bushrangers), Jack Henry (Geelong Falcons), Jack Scrimshaw (Sandringham Dragons), Jonty Scharenberg (Glenelg), Jordan Gallucci (Eastern Ranges), Josh Battle (Dandenong Stingrays), Josh Williams (Surfers Paradise/Gold Coast Academy), Judah Dundon (Western Jets), Kobe Mutch (Bendigo Pioneers/GWS Academy), Max Lynch (Murray Bushrangers/GWS Academy), Myles Poholke (Dandenong Stingrays), Oscar Junker (Western Jets), Reece Piper (Dandenong Stingrays), Ryan Garthwaite (Murray Bushrangers), Sam McLarty (Oakleigh Chargers), Tim Taranto (Sandringham Dragons), Willem Drew (North Ballarat Rebels).

Tall timber on show in 2016 draft pool

To be successful, you need to have a good ruckman or two as has been proven by the example of Todd Goldstein at North, the absence of Aaron Sandilands at Fremantle and the emergence of Melbourne coinciding with Max Gawn's form lift. The Dees have acknowledged this by giving Jake Spencer an extra year.

Still, the search continues for the next big thing even though many of the tall ruck types will go further down in the draft.

Who will be available at about pick 25-30?  That should be our first pick this year as GCS have already secured our first rounder.  Will be interesting to see if we trade back in (GWS will need a fair few points to bid for academy types, and now they are further up the ladder, it is going to be harder for them to compete for talent).  Are there any father son recruits this year??

He has the magnificently named Hugh McCluggage at the top of the power tree.

I gotta say I admire your dedication to the draft WJ.

With the Demons in the thick of the finals race and the fact we done own a first round pick this year I must say I havent thought once about the draft.  If we slip out of finals contention I will be checking out all your draft prospect updates.

David Parkin once famously said after coaching a Carlton to a premiership that he needed to recruit at least five new players for his team to improve the next year.

I don't think we should forget this.

That David Parkin comment has 'captain obvious' written all over it anyway. Now days each club will get in a new group of players of about 5 to 7. 

And no one is saying to forget the draft, its more the fact that for once we have actually set our team up to really push for finals and that too end talent is finally the least of our worries now as we already have nucleus of talent that could really take this club forward. 

I use to be a draft nut but could not care less.. Im more excited about landing a Prestia, Hurley or maybe even Brad Crouch!

Who will be this year's No.1 draft pick?

call me a bitter man if you will, but I am loving that this years draft is open and there is no standouts - so far.  Freo blantently tanking and the Dons getting rewarded for being drug cheats was making me sick. I am also assuming the Bears will get a priority pick as QLD is struggling

So hopefully they will not benefit as much as they would want.  at this stage the top batch seem pretty similar so our pick ~10 hopefully will be fairly similar to the top couple

Don't forget we could still find a way into the first round this year through trade, either of players or giving away our 2017 first rounder in exchange for another team's first rounder this year.

I'd be expecting one of our depth inside mids and our second pick be traded to get back into the first to try to trade for another kpd if one's available.

On the watchlist... Andrew McGrath - Sandringham Dragons/ Brighton Grammar.

Smart fast powerful runner. Athletics background. Two weeks ago, he got 44 possessions playing across half back. One to watch. From the same junior program (East Sandringham) that produced Chris Judd. Not dissimilar !

Not 'Captain Obvious' because he meant that he wanted five new ready made players for round one. That is different to recruiting players through the draft as all clubs do these days. He wanted his club to recruit far and wide to find talent for his team, be it through trading with other clubs, going interstate and looking at young talent. The Blues were both clever and ruthless in their day and by being a step ahead of other clubs in their recruiting managed to win flags and achieve success for a sustained period.

The draft remains an important source of talent and we shouldn't ignore it even if at this stage our first pick is in the second round because we traded away our first round selection last year. We could easily trade in a selection before the draft anyway.

Our first pick on current standing would be #28 - it's hard to get enthusiastic about the talent at the pointy end when you know we're not going to be near it.

Though our trio of Viney/Mahoney/Taylor have developed a habit of pulling a rabbit out of a hat in the last few years, so I suppose we'll see - but I find it hard to see them trading in to the top 10 with the tools at their disposal (i.e. no first round pick) this year.

Unless we happen to trade a player who wants to leave or lose a free agent which could result in us getting back into the first round.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer.

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head.
