Midfielders
Errol Gulden announced himself as one of the competition's elite young midfielders when he earned All-Australian honours at just 21. An endurance beast with a superb left foot, Gulden's running capacity and damaging left foot have already made him one of the most influential players in the competition.
Already a two-time All-Australian, ferocious Port Adelaide midfielder Zak Butters looks bound to add a few more jackets to his resume. He has the rare combination of line-breaking speed on the outside to complement his grunt and raw power at stoppage, making him one of the most complete players in the AFL.
Hard-running 22-year-old midfielder Finn Callaghan has elevated himself into one of the AFL's most damaging onballers with his sublime ball-use and sheer running power. At his damaging best, Callaghan is one of the most watchable players in the competition and looks destined to feature in the All-Australian team at some point.
Docker Luke Jackson is potentially the most versatile player the game has seen and can play any position on the ground. His mobility at ground level and contested marking ability make him potentially the hardest matchup in the competition. When deployed in the ruck, he is effectively a second midfielder.
At just 23, son-of-a-gun Nick Daicos has arguably the best CV of all time for a player with just four years of experience at the highest level. Classy, skilful and composed, the young star is already a premiership player, three-time All-Australian and Collingwood best and fairest winner. Could finish his career as the most decorated player of all time.
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has quickly emerged as one of the game's best midfielders after beginning his career as a rebounding half-back. With potentially the best foot skills in the competition, the young St Kilda star's composure, leg speed and ability to hit the scoreboard make him one of the more exciting prospects in recent memory.
