SUPERFOOTY draft experts Jay Clark and Sam Landsberger have spoken to all the clubs and come up with their likely top 20 picks in this year's AFL national draft.

Take a look at each pick and read through our bio of each player as we count down to draft day on Thursday November 21.

1. Greater Western Sydney

TOM BOYD

200cm, 103kg

Club: Eastern Ranges

Another hulking spearhead to add to the Giants' key-forward riches. What elevates Boyd is his football smarts; his aerial timing and judgment on the lead is well advanced.

2. Greater Western Sydney

JOSH KELLY

183cm, 75kg

Club: Sandringham Dragons

Aerobic midfield beast with an elite left foot who can play inside and outside. Unflappable teenager who averaged 154 SuperCoach pts in the TAC Cup.

3. St Kilda

JACK BILLINGS

184cm, 78kg

Club: Oakleigh Chargers

Classy half-forward has oodles of x-factor. Superb ball use on both sides and great mark for his size will add coat of gloss to Saints' forward half. Will become A-Grade midfielder.



4. Western Bulldogs

JAMES AISH

184cm, 75kg

Club: Norwood

A two-time senior premiership midfielder with trundles of outside class which the Dogs need. A rich history of SANFL talent runs in the bloodlines.

5. Gold Coast

KADE KOLODJASHNIJ

190cm, 81kg

Club: Launceston

Another Scotty Clayton special. Athletic and tall half back is so damaging with his running game, like Grant Birchall or Andrew Mackie. Has poise and a beautiful left foot.



6. Collingwood

MARCUS BONTEMPELLI

192cm, 83kg

Club: Northern Knights

Nick Dal Santo's cousin who was thrown into the midfield late this season and dominated clearances. Raking left footer with great vision and athleticism, like Scott Pendlebury. Time stops around him.



PIES DREAM OF PENDLES CLONE

7. Brisbane

MATT SCHARENBERG

190cm, 87kg

Club: Glenelg

The ultimate prototype. Can play anywhere like Brendon Goddard, marks strongly overhead and provides clever drive. Dual All-Australian would be a steal here for the Lions.



8. North Melbourne (Father-son)

LUKE MCDONALD

188cm 85kg

Club: Werribee

Hard-running defender with a deadly left-foot and strong leadership, like Luke Hodge. Dominated the VFL finals and will slot straight into Brad Scott's side.

9. Melbourne

NATHAN FREEMAN

182cm, 85kg

Club: Sandringham Dragons

Inside midfielder is exhilarating to watch, using his top-line speed to burst away from danger or cut apart stoppages, in the same vein as Patrick Dangerfield. Will add bite to one-paced Dees midfield.

10. Collingwood

BEN LENNON

188cm, 77kg

Club: Northern Knights

One of the most offensively gifted and exciting players in the draft due to his lethal long kick and courageous overhead marking. Kicks goals but could also settle on a back flank, helping fill the Heath Shaw void.

media_camera West Coast is keen on an inside midfielder like homegrown WA boy Dom Sheed. Picture: Colleen Petch



11. West Coast

DOM SHEED

184cm, 83kg

Club: Subiaco

The man the Eagles wanted at six slips to 11, validating move to fall down the order. Well-rounded midfielder racks up big numbers and is damaging by hand or foot, despite lacking a top gear.



12. Richmond

CHRISTIAN SALEM

183cm, 81kg

Club: Sandringham Dragons

Combines strength with silk, like Dan Hannebery, in a perfect mix for the Tiges. Salem’s left foot is precise, he kicks goals and boasts impressive contested footy numbers.

13. Carlton

CAMERON MCCARTHY

193cm, 85kg

Club: South Fremantle

Key forward who clutches big marks leaping from the side or back of pack. Shot up ranks in his first year of serious footy, before broken leg in the champs. Snug fit for Blues but Richmond could pip them.





14. Greater Western Sydney

DARCY GARDINER

192cm, 85kG

Geelong Falcons

The Giants want a defender here and Gardiner is the best key back in the pool. The All-Australian can clamp down on talls and offers rebound from defence.



15. Sydney

MATT CROUCH

183cm, 80kg

Club: North Ballarat

Aggressive ball magnet who averaged 38 disposals and excels at stoppages. The brother of Brad boasts quick hands and, like Tom Mitchell, would thrive in tight confines of SCG.

16. Geelong

ZAK JONES

181cm, 76kg

Club: Dandenong Stingrays

Fiery defender/inside midfielder with a splash of pace who attacks the footy with purpose. The brother of Nathan won Vic Country's MVP and is a favourite of Stephen Wells. Runs both ways.



17. Fremantle

LEWIS TAYLOR

173cm, 73kg

Geelong Falcons

Explosive ball-winner has the makings of Brent Harvey, combining toughness and pace at ground level. Short stature a turn-off for some but pinpoint skills and gut-run has helped him to dominate junior level.



18. St Kilda

BILLY HARTUNG

177cm, 75kg

Club: Dandenong Stingrays

A running machine who smashed Brad Hill's all-time beep test record at draft camp (16.6) and boasts elite foot skills. A run-and-carry specialist the Saints are monitoring closely to help give them some outside dash.

19. St Kilda

BLAKE ACRES

190cm 80kg

Club: West Perth

Mr Versatile will give Saints a tall and classy ball-winner to plug almost any hole. Wins inside footy, good overhead and is smooth on both sides. Handy size.



20. Gold Coast

LUKE DUNSTAN

185cm, 83kg

Club: Woodville West Torrens

A big-bodied and smart midfielder who shone at the national carnival. Added leadership and strength at clearances has him in first-round mix.

media_camera There is debate around how early Jonathon Marsh may be snaffled in the draft. Picture: Colleen Petch



THE WILDCARD

JONATHON MARSH

192cm, 87kg

Club: East Fremantle

Marsh is lightning quick for a big man and can follow up at ground level and turn like Lance Franklin. But he's a project. The Dockers wouldn't mind a big man — could they reach early and pounce at 17?



THE BIG QUESTIONS:

How good is the draft?

Recruiters wanting run-and-carry midfielders would be licking their chops at the top 20. There's plenty of pocket rockets at the top end who confidently tuck the ball under their arm and use it well, such as Kelly, Billings, Hartung and Taylor. But it's light on for genuine key position players, leaving clubs looking to next year to nab one of the many available big forwards.

Overall, the depth this year is only average, thinning the talent pool after about pick 30. Maybe it will produce 10-15 200-game players.

Will Dayle Garlett get drafted?

Earlier in the year, it was a resounding yes, but clubs remain nervous about drafting the silky midfield-forward from WA. On talent, he might be top-15. A smooth-moving outside runner who has shades of Harley Bennell, kicking almost 50 goals in the WAFL seniors this year.

But defensively he can be poor and many clubs, such as West Coast, have again put a line through his name. In our view, he is worth taking the chance, at a strong club, with a late pick.

There will be lots of busts from this year's draft. His best chance might be at Geelong or Hawthorn.
