Top five pick contender Cooper Duff-Tytler has long been viewed as the leading tall prospect in the 2025 pool.
But for clubs that don't have a pick at the pointy end of the AFL Draft, there are several more ruck prospects who have shown promise in 2025.
Find out below who else is in contention and what sets them apart.

West Coast and Essendon loom as the two most likely destinations for Duff-Tytler, who entered the season in Pick 1 contention and has remained right around that mark throughout.
Was named in the U18s All-Australian side and had a strong start to the season as a ruck, where his follow-up work was notable, before late-season games for the Bombers' VFL side and Calder showcased his forward presence and marking.
"I think this year, I probably played better as ruck-forward," Duff-Tytler said at the AFL Draft National Combine in October.
"But going into the future, I'm open to playing anywhere the coach wants me. I think I can play good footy in any position."
