| 11 RANK |  | Dyson Sharp Central District Midfielder HEIGHT: 188cm | â–¶+ |
No prospect is better prepared for AFL football than Sharp, who concluded his junior career with 14 senior SANFL games for the Bulldogs under his belt.
Sharp spent more of his time at that level than any other in 2025, managing to expand his role outside of just an inside-heavy midfield operation.
Pushing forward and working in space added further strings to Sharp's bow, helping set up his standing come draft night.
What's undeniable about Sharp is his inside ball work, stoppage craft and unmatched leadership skills, with the onballer maturing well beyond his years.
