Max Holmes | #20 - AFL Draft |
Shannon Neale | #33 - AFL Draft |
Nick Stevens | #47 - AFL Draft |
Paul Tsapatolis | Category B Rookie Selection |
WHAT THEY SAID
"The upside in Holmes is enormous. He smashed the 20m sprint at the NAB AFL Draft Combine, clocking 2.8sec to sit behind only Reef McInnes, and he ran a 6:25 time trial over 2km. A high-level background in athletics has shaped Holmes as a footballer, with the 189cm midfielder suited to streaming down the wing." - AFL Media

"Toby is a ruckman who continues to develop, winning All-Australian honours at the 2019 NAB AFL U16 Championships. Had a compelling season as a NAB AFL Draft prospect, playing six matches with the Geelong Falcons and claiming NAB League Team of the Year honours. Was also prominent for both Victoria Country at under-19s level and Australia at under-18s levels in representative matches this year.
"Mitch is a tall midfielder who had an outstanding season after recovering from an ACL injury two years ago and missing last year due to COVID shutdown. An outstanding performer for the Geelong Falcons, he won their best and fairest award as well as a place in the NAB League's Team of the Year. Has the elite speed and endurance combination which allows him to transition both back and forward. Uses his height and overhead marking both through the midfield and up forward to impact the game." - Cal Twomey
