Welcome to Day 10/10 of my Mid-season AFL Draft Power Rankings. Each day i will post 2 prospects counting down to my number #1 prospect, 1 week out of the U/18 National Champs to hopefully help get your youngster knowledge up for the AFL Draft. Things change every week but as of the 7/6 this is my Top 20. #2. Dougie Cochrane (Central Districts/South Australia) Despite his knee issues ruling him out for multiple weeks, Dougie is a special talent and will end up as a top 3 pick no matter what, His ability to play around the ground is something Port Adelaide will value and they will pay up no matter what for the NGA prospect. Dougie is expected back around the middle of July and may make a feature in South Australia's U/18 Champs side. #1. Cody Walker (Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country) Cody Walker has fit in very well into Carlton's VFL squad and i feel whoever lands the Number 1 pick will make Carlton pay up for the Father Son prospect (Carlton will pay up no matter what) Cody is another versatile HF/Mid prospect that has shone in every game he has played in. Cody Walker and Jagga Smith will turn Carlton around in the coming years. Cody injured his shoulder in his first U/18 Champs game for Vic Country with severity to be determined in the coming days he still remains Number 1 but there's a slight watch ahead of his scans. This Concludes the Top 20. Thank you all for following along the past 10 days. With the first 2 games of U/18 Champs being wrapped up over the weekend the list is everchanging but hopefully this has helped you get a general idea on the top prospects for the coming 2026 AFL Draft.

Welcome to Day 9/10 of my Mid-season AFL Draft Power Rankings. Each day i will post 2 prospects counting down to my number #1 prospect, 1 week out of the U/18 National Champs to hopefully help get your youngster knowledge up for the AFL Draft. Things change every week but as of the 7/6 this is my Top 20. #4. Arki Butler (Sandringham/Vic Metro) Butler's Highlight reels speak volumes, he is a very talented hybrid option with his ability to play as a small forward or in the midfield when required. Arki burst onto the scene a few years ago after kicking 10 goals in a match at 15, he is getting Toby Greene comparisons and its clear to see why. Whoever takes Arki will get a player who can make things happen from nothing, very talented player. #3. Harry Van Hattum (Northern Knights/Vic Metro) HVH is one of the best ruck prospects of this decade (if not the best), his ability to work around the ground and be a 4th midfielder after a ruck contest or as a forward when resting is insane. He is a special talent and the best openly available prospect in the pool by a wide margin. We wrap up the top 20 tomorrow so get ready for my top 2 prospects. Check out my most recent posts before this if you haven't already as we continue the countdown. :)

Welcome to Day 8/10 of my Mid-season AFL Draft Power Rankings. Each day i will post 2 prospects counting down to my number #1 prospect, 1 week out of the U/18 National Champs to hopefully help get your youngster knowledge up for the AFL Draft. Things change every week but as of the 7/6 this is my Top 20. #6. Kodah Edwards (South Adelaide/South Australia) Ignoring Dougie Cochrane who has been injured, Kodah Edwards has had the best top age SA season out of anyone, he starred in the trial match vs NSW/ACT a couple weeks ago and made his presence known. He never panics in traffic which is quite rare for most young players nowadays and has very quick hands. Kodah always moves the ball forward with intent. He may not be the greatest SC option in an AFL system but he will provide whatever team picks him with a lot of spark. #5. Noah Williams (Geelong Falcons/Vic Country) Noah Williams is one of my favorite prospects in this draft, if you're looking for a pure midfielder in this draft this kid is number 1, Every other draft prospect around him has versatility while Noah just has a natural Midfielder mindset with his ability to break free and influence a game. When he has not been tagged he has been the best player on the ground in every game he's played thus far for Geelong. He has been tagged a lot in recent weeks and has while still playing his role, he has shown a bit of weakness to being tagged at stages and may be susceptible at the next level, but if he's left alone, Watch Out. (he suffered a hamstring injury in the first game of U/18 Champs today with severity unknown, his spot in the draft pool may be reduced.) the top 4 commences tomorrow with 2 games of U/18 Champs wrapped up the list is ever changing.
