South Australia's Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier is a 182cm tall North Adelaide midfielder who oozes leadership qualities.
A well-balanced, clean and quick midfielder, Oudshoorn-Bennier has somewhat eluded mainstream attention but has his admirers among AFL clubs.
He finished the National Championships for South Australia excellently and has had opportunities playing for North Adelaide's reserves side, including a best-afield outing.
He has plenty of standout traits that will hold him in good stead at the next level; has a booming kick but can also weight it to hit shorter targets and doesn't panic with ball in hand, allowing him to make smart decisions, particularly when he's in traffic.
Oudshoorn-Bennier is also noted as one of the Croweaters' hardest workers and most diligent preparers, which translates into a strong sense of leadership, having impressively skippered the Roosters both as a bottom-ager in 2024 and then again this season.
He looks set to fall somewhere in the second round and would suit a club seeking an adaptable transition midfielder who would likely start his career off half forward.
