Victoria’s best AFL draft prospects – from Harley Reid and Nick Watson, to Zane Duursma and Nate Caddy – will lock horns at Ikon Park on Sunday in the next instalment of the greatest rivalry in underage football.
, Caleb Windsor, Harvey Johnston, Will Lorenz and 192-centimetre swingman Logan Morris have impressed, too.
Others to watch for Country are hard-running Darcy Wilson, dual-sport star Harry DeMattia – a prolific batter in cricket – forwards Michael Rudd, Kade De La Rue and Archer Reid, wingman Joel Freijah, and defenders Luamon Lual, Angus Hastie and Billy Wilson. The contest will also showcase two players, Country’s Finn O’Sullivan and Metro’s Josh Smillie, who recruiters rate as the early frontrunners to be next year’s No.1 pick.
Promising bottom-agers Levi Ashcroft – brother of Will, and son of Marcus – and Jagga Smith will play for Metro as well, and project as potential top-five selections. “It’s exciting to come against Country and continue the longstanding rivalry. They’re always tight games, and our boys have had this one circled for a while,” Harding said. “We’ve had two strong performances against South Australia and Western Australia, and we were really competitive against the Allies, after they blew us away in the first 15 minutes. “We’ve been able to show the depth of our squad, and we’ve brought a lot of guys up who were borderline to be drafted.
