$167,800
Starved of consistent opportunity, but with Jordan Dawson moving to the Crows, there’s a vacant spot on the wing & Stephens could be the one to benefit. Won the club’s first 2km time preseason trial averaged 104 SuperCoach points in 8 VFL games in 2021.
Charlie Dean | DEFENDER (COLLINGWOOD)
$102,400
A mature-age intercept defender who won the VFL’s best young player. The ready-made Dean averaged EIGHT intercepts & 85 SuperCoach points for Williamstown & made it all the way through to Collingwood in the rookie draft, meaning a basement price tag in 2022.
Garrett McDonagh |DEFENDER (ESSENDON)
$117,300
Another mature-age draftee to keep an eye on. Dodoro post-draft stating the defender “could possibly play very early” A terrific runner who is a great ball user, averaged 21 disposals, five intercepts, five rebound-50s & 84 SuperCoachpoints in the VFL 2021.
Sam Skinner | DEF/FWD (PORT ADELAIDE)
$123,900
A switch to defence saw him dominate the back-half of the SANFL season for South Adelaide. Averaged 19 disposals, 11 intercepts – 7 of them marks – & 113 SuperCoach points between Rounds 16 & 21. Another who is ready to step in, if Port needs.

$207,300
He played the mid-fwd role at senior level for the past 18 months & averaged 16 disposals, 9 contested possessions and 88 SuperCoach points, while also booting 15 goals, in 20 matches last season. Keep an eye out for in-season MID/FWD addition.
Nick Daicos | MIDFIELD (COLLINGWOOD)
$193,800
Daicos is another who looks worthy of the rookie price tag. Averaged 36 disposals, 2 goals & 159 SuperCoacah points in 5 NAB League games in 2021 & despite his ability to win a lot of the ball, he should still score well early in his career with fewer touches.
Greg Clark | MIDFIELD (WEST COAST)
$117,300
In a phenomenal WAFL season, Clark averaged 27 disposals, 11 contested possessions, 7 tackles & a huge 128 SuperCoach points in 18 non-injury-affected matches. Capped off the year with a 181-point outing to win the medal as best afield in the WAFL Grand Final.
Josh Ward | MIDFIELD (HAWTHORN)
$180,300
Finished the NAB League season with scores of 136, 124, 174 & 140. In a game that displays his many avenues of scoring, Ward tallied 34 disposals, 17 contested possessions, 8 clearances, 8 tackles, 5 intercepts & 5 score involvements in the final game of 2021.
Matthew Roberts | MIDFIELD (SYDNEY)
$117,300
Would have to be the first rookie picked in most SuperCoach sides if we’re picking on numbers alone. In his 10 U18 matches in the past 2 years, Roberts posted scores of 240, 188, 175, 139, 208, 146, 120, 125, 160 & 104. Very appealing price tag too.

$206,800
It was a tough first season for Macrae but he showed in spurts his elite ball-winning ability, displayed by his 20-disposal outing in just 61% TOG vs Hawks in Rnd 21. A consistent mid role for Macrae could bring a serious SuperCoach spike, quickly.
Jackson Mead | MIDFIELD (PORT ADELAIDE)
$123,900
Finished 2021 strongly at the state league level, tallying 27 disposals & 6 clearances through the midfield in Rnd 15 & SuperCoach scores of 107 and 93 in the final 2 rounds. Averaged 106 points for his state during his draft year as an onballer. One to watch.
Charlie Constable | MIDFIELD (GOLD COAST)
$213,400
Still only 22. Given a lifeline by the Suns & will help fill the Greenwood void. Averaged 113 in Geelong’s reserves side during his debut season & finished his time at the Cats with scores of 175, 132 & 146 before the VFL season was called off in 2021.
Braydon Preuss | RUCK (GWS GIANTS)
$204,700
Heavily discounted for 2022. Injured all of 2021 but the cheap R2 strategy could be back on. In the 3 games he played without Gawn at the Dees, Preuss posted scores of 84, 85 & 140. In his 2 at North without Goldy, he scored 111 & an injury-affected 39.
