Australian Top 30
No, it isn't a music countdown, this is a list of who the AFL say are the top 30 prospects for the Australian Football League draft. The list was alphabetical, and can be viewed on the Essendon site with accompanying scouting reports, but to make it easier the prospects have been rearranged into tiers.
The tiers are sorted alphabetically, and provide five groups of prospects from the 30 names on the AFL list. Kreuzer is ahead of the pack, but the next ten to twelve players could go in any order.
