ADELAIDE

Jordan Gallucci (15), Myles Poholke (44), Elliot Himmelberg (51), Matthew Signorello (62), Ben Davis (75)

A good mixture, flexible midfielders who can mark the ball and a key position prospect who can play at either end. Speed seemed a priority, with Gallucci a powerful player with a big leap who can play in all parts of the ground. He's a crafty player with a nice kick. Poholke has strength and has the ability to go forward too. Davis has shown some class playing forward or back, with Signorello the most left field of the Crows' four selections. Ben Jarman should make it to the club on Monday, as a pre-selected rookie.

BRISBANE LIONS

Hugh McCluggage (3), Jarrod Berry (17), Alex Witherden (23), Cedric Cox (24), Jacob Allison (55), Corey Lyons (71)

This is a great group. The Lions' decision to swap pick 2 for picks 3 and 16 ended up being a great move, netting them North Ballarat teammates McCluggage and Berry. Berry (courage) and Witherden (kicking skills) will add to their backline. McCluggage and Cox have huge class. The Lions decided not to match North Melbourne's bid for defender Declan Watson, but brought the long kicking Allison in. Passing on Watson allowed them to pick up Corey Lyons at 71. That's a good price for a well performed midfielder who'll live just down the road from brother Jarryd at Gold Coast.

CARLTON

Sam Petrevski-Seton (6), Zac Fisher (27), Harrison Macreadie (47), Cameron Polson (59), Tom Williamson (61), Patrick Kerr (65)

The Blues' midfield was their clear priority. Petrevski-Seton added a tough edge to his clever outside play this year and would have spent time at No. 1 on some clubs' lists. Fisher plays with desire and urgency. Macreadie comes in after GWS declined to match a bid for him. Last season he looked a top five player. This year he lacked consistency; he can set up play nicely from defence so if he can learn to knuckle down more one-on-one he could be a very good get. Williamson has a lot to offer as quick running back with huge endurance, and Kerr will come in as a key forward. His lack of athleticism and versatility is why he got down so far but he's aggressive, confident, strong on the lead and he likes to kick goals. He certainly belongs at the Blues, where his grandparents Laurie and Vivienne are both club icons.

COLLINGWOOD

Sam McLarty (30), Callum Brown (35), Kayle Kirby (50), Josh Daicos (57)

Collingwood would have liked to squeeze one more pick in before having to match North's bid for Brown (a funny one, given Gavin Brown is a development coach at the Roos). But things worked out OK for them. McLarty is a player who could play key forward or back, which is where he will probably start given the Pies lack of numbers there. He's a brave player who throws himself around and has an inspiring story to tell; he is profoundly deaf and received a bionic ear as a baby. Kirby has some work to do on his fitness but is hugely exciting, and quick. The potential in Daicos is clear to see - skill, vision - and 35 was a fair enough spot for Brown, who is energetic, earnest and never stops trying.

ESSENDON

Andrew McGrath (1), Jordan Ridley (22), Josh Begley (31), Kobe Mutch (42), Dylan Clarke (63)

An interesting mix. McGrath's versatility, power and ability to attack and defend almost at the same time made him the man at pick 1. He's good enough to play a part from the start, but his scope for improvement shouldn't be underestimated given his athletic prowess. He was the right pick for them. Ridley's a tall utility whose urgency can fluctuate, but who looks genuinely at home at both ends with his reading of the play and kicking skills. Begley's a brute and a good pick: he finds ways to kick goals and shown he should be able to get up into the midfield. Mutch and Clarke are tireless workers through the midfield who will add to the Bombers' numbers in that part of the ground. If there's one thing they missed it might be a genuine crumber. But they still have the rookie draft to come.

FREMANTLE

Griffin Logue (8), Sean Darcy (38), Brennan Cox (41), Luke Ryan (66)

Having gone for midfielders and smaller runners in their last couple of drafts, this year the Dockers went tall and now have a much longer list of options in their back half as Johnson and Dawson near the end. Logue is a key back who can also be sent to other parts of the ground with no fuss; he turned out to be the Dockers priority after the Suns drafted Jack Scrimshaw ahead of their first pick. Supporters will love his passion for the contest and willingness to go wherever the team needs him. Cox is an athletic defender who, if he can keep his concentration and urgency levels consistent, could be a very good pick at 41. Ryan is an attacking player and the sort of mid-sized defender they had a bit of a need for. He's a nice kick, too, and ready to play having proved himself at VFL level this year. Darcy's a big, bustling ruckman who the Dockers will be able to spend some time on so that he gets fit enough to play at AFL level.

GEELONG

Brandan Parfitt (26), Tom Stewart (40), Esava Ratugolea (43), Quinton Narkle (60), Timm House (68), Ryan Abbott (69)

A real mixture, here. Geelong went tall, and very local, with VFL defender Stewart as well as House and Abbott. There's a bit of excitement in between. Parfitt is a prolific ball winner who is constantly on the move; his challenge is to improve his ball use. Ratugolea is an enormously exciting key forward prospect whose improvement once he gets to the Cats could be very sharp given his want to learn. And Narkle brings more speed, as well as an ability to propel games forward. The Cats had a need for a bit more pace around the ball. Both Parfitt and Narkle could give them that.

GOLD COAST

Ben Ainsworth (4), Jack Scrimshaw (7), Will Brodie (9), Jack Bowes (10), Brad Scheer (67)

Hard not to like what the Suns have done here. The one thing they didn't get was more key defensive depth, but they used their very well-placed picks on a good mixture of players, a large amount of natural talent and a good level of competitiveness as well as a bit of a bargain, with Scheer, a workhorse through the midfield, making it to their last pick. Brodie and Ainsworth in particular are overtly passionate players who want the ball and want to win. Bowes is all class, and would have been top three or five for some clubs. If it all works for Scrimshaw, his skill, size, reading of the play and overall talent could make him one of the best players to come out of this draft. Something to also note is that they picked players who know each other well, and will come in wanting to do good things together.

GWS

Tim Taranto (2), Will Setterfield (5), Harry Perryman (14), Isaac Cumming (20), Lachlan Tiziani (54), Matthew de Boer (58)

The Giants started with picks 2, 15, 37, 39, 45 and 52. They became 2, 5, 14, 20, 54 and 58 after bids for their academy players were made and matched. Taranto was their choice after McGrath went at 1, and securing Setterfield at 5 was an easy decision. Perryman was a priority, and it helped them that a bid for Cumming came at 20 rather than five or even 10 spots earlier. Choosing three players late in the draft rather than just two would not have been ideal, and Tiziani, an academy player, comes in with plenty of promise after being overlooked last year. The way things panned out meant the Giants let two players through to other clubs, midfielder Kobe Mutch and defender Harrison Macreadie, a big call given they relocated him to Sydney this year. They took de Boer with their last pick ahead of defender Ryan Garthwaite, who made his way to Richmond at a later pick. Their group looks very, very good.

HAWTHORN

Harry Morrison (74), Mitchell Lewis (76)

Not a bad result for the Hawks, who sat around for a very long time before getting started. They had hinted they might look for older players (and Jack Fitzpatrick should come back in as a rookie) but clearly there were some kids high up on their list still available when their first pick came around. Morrison is a rebounding defender with a tough streak, who kicks well and runs hard. He's very good value at pick. Mitchell Lewis (will he wear number 53?) is more of a speculative selection. He played some good school footy leading up to one huge game for the Calder Cannons, where he had 33 possessions and took 12 marks. He's a forward-ruckman the club will be able to spend time developing.

MELBOURNE

Mitchell Hannan (46), Dion Johnstone (64)

Two slightly left-field selections for the Dees, who got started late and had no particular needs to attend to given how well they have drafted in recent years. Hannan is a jack-in-the-box who could play a part for them if needed next year. Check youtube for vision of the huge mark he took playing for Footscray's VFL side this year. He could give their forward line a point of difference, while Johnstone's upside is in his tough edge and flair. A key defender to add to their collection might have been nice, but there was no desperate need to reach for one.

NORTH MELBOURNE

Jy Simpkin (12), Declan Watson (34), Josh Williams (36), Nick Larkey (73)

North needed some pace and pizzazz. They got it in Simpkin and Williams. Simpkin, injured for most of this year, is a really sharp and skilful player. He'll start out in the forward line but has shown an ability to win balls in the middle and run it away. Williams has extreme pace; his challenge is to win more of his own ball but when set off into space he is a direct, powerful runner and very hard to catch. Watson was the best intercept marker at the under-18 championships this year, while Larkey played with a lot of energy in the forward line and could also be tried down back and likes to cover some ground. A good combination, and a need addressed with not one but two of their picks. That's a pretty good result.

PORT ADELAIDE

Todd Marshall (16), Sam Powell-Pepper (18), Joe Atley (32), Willem Drew (33)

Three honest, hard midfielders and the standout key forward in the draft. The Power would be happy with that. Marshall had an inconsistent year and never put together one huge game. But he is nimble, quick, willing to work and he did have a huge year. His best footy came at the start of the year before he tired, and at that point he looked like a top five chance, so they could have a bit of a bargain with him. Supporters will fall in love with Powell-Pepper straight away; he is intense, hard at it and desperate to help his team win. His delivery can be rushed, but he'll do all the work he needs to on that and leads the way naturally. Drew is extremely consistent and tough around the ball, while Atley is another reliable ball winner. All three onballers have a hard edge and are competitive. A good group, all up, and one that addresses two pretty clear needs.

RICHMOND

Shai Bolton (29), Jack Graham (53), Ryan Garthwaite (72)

Much of Richmond's work was done in the trade period but 29 was a well-placed pick and Shai Bolton has more than enough talent to make the clubs that passed him up look conservative, provided he handles the step up. He was possibly the most exciting player to watch this year with his spring and pace and ability to make hard things look easy. Graham is a bull, a hard-at-it, big bodied player who regularly won clearances for South Australia in the under-18s this year and will give them some more strength around the footy. Garthwaite was overlooked by GWS having been a part of their academy, and will come in as a determined, shut-down defender who hates his opponent getting the ball.

ST KILDA

Ben Long (25), Josh Battle (39), Ed Phillips (56)

Long was an interesting selection given the Saints' big collection of small forwards, but is not your typical crumber, and should ultimately be able to play off half-back or a wing. He's a creative player who will bring some of the speed they have been looking for in the last few drafts. Phillips has some dash, too. Battle was a value pick at 39, a hard working, hard running forward who likes to get up and down the ground and work his opponents over. He works in different ways to their other forwards, and the Saints would see him playing a part in life post Nick Riewoldt for them.

SYDNEY

Oliver Florent (11), Will Hayward (21), Jack Maibaum (45), Darcy Cameron (48)

This is a really nice group, which complements what the Swans already have. Florent can create something from nothing, and often turn that into a goal. But he also hits the ball hard in contested situations and had proved himself as a bone fide midfielder by the end of the season. Moving him away from his family after an impossibly difficult year in which he lost his father would have been a big decision for the Swans, but he is a resilient kid with a big support network around him. Hayward has work to do on his endurance, but is hugely talented and adding him to the half forward could ease Isaac Heeney's move into the midfield. Maibaum is a competitive key back who sticks to his task and just needs to start getting more of the ball; they needed some depth in that area and he'll bring that. Cameron has worked for three years to prove himself and will add some depth to the club's ruck stocks.

WEST COAST

Daniel Venables (13), Josh Rotham (37), Willie Rioli (52), Jake Waterman (77)

Venables was a bold call early. Not on talent - he's a bull at a gate type, who crashes around in the midfield then can go forward, take marks and kick goals. With Mark Le Cras nearing the end, he fills a need down there. The risk was probably in his foot injuries, which ruined much of this year but that the Eagles will have done plenty of work on. Other players love playing with him, given his hardness and competitive instincts, which says a bit. Rotham is an attacking, adventurous defender whose challenge is to better balance those instincts with locking down on his opponent. He could be a very good value pick, in time. Rioli has worked extremely hard to earn his chance, and was the Eagles' choice ahead of a few good small forward options. They'll be very happy no-one decided to bid for Waterman. All up, this is a high potential group.

WESTERN BULLDOGS

Tim English (19), Patrick Lipinski (28), Lewis Young (49), Fergus Greene (70)

The Bulldogs were in a great position to see which player the other clubs let slip through to them. They will be rapt with English, who is going to need some time, development and patience as a 205 centimetre, very skinny ruck prospect, but who could be the best field kick in in the draft. He plays a lot like a midfielder and could develop into a pretty special player. Greene is a key forward they'll be able to spend some time on too and Young can run, with Lipinski one the Dogs could see in their senior team sooner rather than later and a nice pick. He has a basketball background, he gets his hands to contested balls, he grabs them cleanly and uses the ball well too. He's one who could play a part for them in a couple of different parts of the ground, a trait they have made it clear they value highly.
