From the AFL site: Top draft prospects - rucks
Dawson Simpson is definitely "Heavy D", and a team in the first couple of rounds has to be interested in drafting him. McEvoy and Bellchambers also pass the two metre mark for their measurements, but McEvoy is still probably a better player at centre half forward.
Kreuzer's measurements won't change where he is drafted, and by rounding up he does become a two metre ruckman. Smouha will probably be best as a tall defender, due to his height, but there will be teams that consider him in the draft as a very mobile ruckman.
