B20's Top 11

This is not a phantom draft but more of a subjective list of players I liked most based on the videos at the AFL site and on youtube. I wanted to do a longer and more comprehensive list but this is all I had time for. Will be interesting to look back on in a few years from now.

1. Tom Scully – Nuggety and determined, looks like a midfield workhorse. The type of player who will become the heart & soul of a midfield. The logical #1 choice.

2. Callum Bartlett – Fast, skillful, strong and evasive. Doesn’t look to have a weakness in his game. The only reason I haven’t got him at number 1 is the doubts over his fitness.

3. Jack Trengove – Well balanced, prototype midfielder who looks strong in most areas. The most assured pick of the draft.

4. Daniel Talia - Awkward kicking action and looks more of a defender than a forward but is tough as nails and strong overhead and just looks a solid player.

5. Kane Lucas – Skillful and pacy with good awareness.

6. Liam Patrick - Saw footage of him for the first time last night and he looks impressive. Skillful with great agility and determination. I tip he will make it and would love for him to do it at Melbourne.

7. Levi Casboult – Looks like the best tall forward in the draft to me. Exceptionally strong overhead and reliable in front of goal with great strength and action.

8. Mitchell Carter – Looks like a smart player with good skills and decision making. Surprised I haven’t heard a lot about him.

9. Taylor Duryea – Looks quick & smart with a lovely kicking action. Surprised I haven’t heard much about him either.

10. Myles Pitt – Great overhead and on the lead and looks a natural forward.

11. Jack Fitzpatrick – Only saw his video for the first time today and he looks extremely agile, & skillful for a player of his size & reads the game well. I like him more than Vardy & Gawn.

Other players I liked were Ben Cunnington, Luke Tapscott, Jasper McMillan-Pittard, Alexander Stopp & Aaron Black.

    1. Rory Sloane

    2. Tyrone Vickery

    3. Daniel Rich

    4. David Zaharakis

    5. Ashley Smith

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
