Heading into the fourth annual AFL Gather Round, players across the league will once again have an opportunity to showcase their talents in what is one of the biggest weeks of the year.
Victoria and Western Australia had time in the spotlight as the league revived the State of Origin earlier this year, but now it's time to shed a light on the local South Australian products that will get a chance to play in front of fans of all clubs across the country in Adelaide.
Here's a look at the top 10 players from South Australia right now in the league...
Honourable Mentions
Bailey Williams (2026 season stats) 21.3 disposals, 3.8 tackles, 7.3 marks per game
Rory Laird (2026 season stats) 21.5 disposals, 1.0 clearances, 10.0 marks per game
Alex Neal-Bullen (2026 season stats) 18.3 disposals, 2.0 tackles, 3.8 marks per game
Jack Lukosius (2026 season stats) 13.7 disposals, 2.0 goals, 6.7 marks per game
6Callum Wilkie (North Adelaide)
The first defender on this list is one who is the definition of calm, cool and collected under pressure after coming off one of his best years. Wilkie has led the Saints in intercept marks three of the past four seasons and is one of their most important pieces under Ross Lyon's defensively-oriented game plan that paved the way for him to lead the league in contested marks.
