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

2Jordan Dawson (Kingston SE)
When it comes to impact and getting distance across the ground, few eclipse Adelaide's own captain, who has been the number one rated midfielder for effective metres gained per game across the last four seasons. Taking home the last two best and fairests for Adelaide, Dawson has some of the best ball usage you'll see in the game from any player.
