1. Jez McLennan (Central District)

McLennan spent four years at the Gold Coast Suns without getting a crack at senior football before being delisted in 2022.

The rebounding defender returned to his junior club Central Districts and has been a key driver in the Bulldogs' rise up the ladder.

McLennan was named the Fos Williams Medalist as best on ground in both of South Australia's state games this year, putting his name up in lights on the big stage.

With an acute ability to read the play and compete in the air, McLennan can play on a variety of players and also provide attacking flair from half-back.

Still aged only 23, McLennan is entering the prime of his career and has plenty to offer at AFL level should he get the call-up.
