Potential No. 1 pick in this year's draft Elijah Hollands has ruptured his ACL, according to AFL.com.au’s draft expert Callum Twomey.

The youngster went down with the injury at training on Tuesday and will likely miss the rest of his draft year.

Hollands is a powerful midfielder-forward with a long kick and smarts around goal.

The 18-year old plays for the Murray Bushrangers in the NAB League and also represented Vic Country as a bottom age player on last year's Under-18 National Championships.

He is the son of former Tiger Hollands, who played eight games for the club in 1999.
