THIS year's NAB AFL Draft looks set to feature some of the best key position talent available in several years, and the League is hopeful of finding more big men for clubs by introducing a 'talls camp' to its talent pathway.

The squad of players will be invited by the AFL to participate in a three-day program in Melbourne from April 9-11 and all must be 195cm or taller.

The AFL is keen to have a more hands-on approach with developing the tall prospects to feed the need of clubs for key position players and ruckmen.

Players aged between 17 and 20 in this calendar year will be eligible to be selected for the camp and will complete training sessions at Essendon and Carlton's headquarters.

The likes of highly regarded talls Jack Lukosius and twins Ben and Max King are unlikely to be a part of the camp given they are already members of the NAB AFL Academy.

Clubs will be able to suggest players they believe should be in the program, with the AFL to make the final call following the conclusion of state under-18 testing weekends.

After last year's draft was dominated by midfielders and smaller types at the top end – Bulldogs defender Aaron Naughton was the only key position player picked in the top 10 – this year's crop has more talls available to clubs.

Lukosius has already wowed recruiters with his form in the pre-season, having starred in an under-18 trial match at centre half-back with 25 disposals and 14 marks.

He then played in a senior SANFL trial game for Woodville-West Torrens against Port Adelaide (including many senior-listed players) and booted five goals in a dominant display.
