Joseph Dare (Geelong Falcons, VIC)
Height: 188cm, Weight: 81kg, DOB: 17/10/92
Recruited from: Colac
The versatile defender/forward has risen up the charts in recent times and is not without a chance of being taken in the first round. Some recruiters believe he will be taken in the back half of the draft. 
Draft range: 15-late

Marcus Davies (Tassie Mariners, TAS)
Height: 187cm, Weight: 81kg, DOB: 04/06/91
Recruited from: North Hobart
One of the three leading Tasmanians set to be drafted. The quick midfielder/defender has been rated as a likely round-three draftee.
Draft range: 30-50

Deon Gordon (NT Thunder, NT)
Height: 185cm, Weight: 87kg, DOB: 02/04/91
Recruited from: St Mary's
A skilful, natural footballer, he looms as a back-end draftee/rookie prospect after representing Northern Territory in this year's NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.
Draft range: Late/rookie

Ryan Harwood (Tassie Mariners, TAS)
Height: 184cm, Weight: 79kg, DOB: 08/07/91
Recruited from: Glenorchy
Has been rated as a possible first-round selection, but the 2009 Under-18 All-Australian inside midfielder looms more likely to be a second- or third-rounder. 
Draft range: 30-50

Anthony Long (Calder Cannons, VIC)
Height: 186cm, Weight: 70kg, DOB: 06/01/91
Recruited from: St Mary's
The nephew of former Essendon star Michael Long, he is a skilful runner with an impressive vertical leap and agility. Looms as a mid-range draft pick.
Draft range: 30-55

Jamie MacMillan (Oakleigh Chargers, VIC)
Height: 188cm, Weight: 82kg, DOB: 29/09/91
Recruited from: Scotch College
The athletic and pacy MacMillan appears to be a back-end selection. 
Draft range: Late

Jasper McMillan-Pittard (Geelong Falcons, VIC)
Height: 185cm, Weight: 70kg, DOB: 01/01/91
Recruited from: Torquay
Has several admirers. An athletic run-and-carry type, he could be a late first- or second-rounder.
Draft range: 15-35

Daniel Menzel (Central District, SA)
Height: 185cm, Weight: 77kg, DOB: 13/09/91
Recruited from: Golden Grove
Seems to have risen in recent times and it would not surprise if he moved inside the first round, although the second-round appears more likely. He is one to keep an eye on. 
Draft range: 12-35

Dylan Roberton (Dandenong Stingrays, VIC)
Height: 190cm, Weight: 78kg, DOB: 21/06/91
Recruited from: Frankston
A skilful rebounding defender, Roberton has been rated as a second- to third-round pick in some quarters, with others believing he will be later in the draft.
Draft range: 20-60

Matthew Scott (Eastern Ranges, VIC)
Height: 185cm, Weight: 72kg, DOB: 12/04/91
Recruited from: Yarra Valley Grammar
Hard-at-it and clean with his hands, he has been rated a likely third rounder.  
Draft range: 30-55

Bradley Sheppard (East Fremantle, WA)
Height: 186cm, Weight: 78kg, DOB: 23/05/91
Recruited from: Wesley College
Has really come up the pecking order as the season progressed. The defender/onballer is not without a chance of being taken in the first 10, and definitely before selection 20.
Draft range: 7-20

Jordan Williams (Bendigo Pioneers, NSW)
Height: 184cm, Weight: 79kg, DOB: 06/05/91
Recruited from: Echuca
The contested ball-winner is arguably New South Wales' best prospect this year, although just where he fits exactly is unknown at this stage.
Draft range: Late/rookie
