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.

At 204cm, the Brisbane Academy prospect is an imposing figure, and assessing purely his ruck craft, he's definitely towards the top in the 2025 AFL Draft crop, showing an ability to give his team first use.
When he gets a run and jump at the footy, he can be hard to stop, with his ability to launch at the footy another attractive feature of his game.
Continuing to build more forward presence is the next step to Waller's game, but he could find a spot on Brisbane's rookie list or be bid on very late in the National Draft for a club seeking a tall.
"He's a really athletic, tall prospect that can move really well for a big fella," Academy teammate Dan Annable said of Waller.
"His ruck craft is elite. I try to credit him a lot, because he puts it down my throat heaps. He can also get forward, take a good contested mark and finish a good goal."
