Pick 28 - Brisbane

Marlon Neocleous

32 Rank
Gippsland Power
Forward
Height: 168cm

The reigning premiers don't want for much, with the Queenslanders stacked across all three lines of the field. It could be as simple as adding the best available talent, but if there is one area to address, it's the small forward stocks.

Charlie Cameron will be 33 next year, and Kai Lohmann is set to receive strong rival interest in a contract year, meaning Brisbane will need to assess what its long-term ground-level attacking options are.

Neocleous, at times this year seen as the best pure small forward, can push up the field and add to the clearance game while also having a lively presence as an attacker who knows how to create goals.
