One season ago, six talented SANFL players were selected by AFL clubs and given a second chance at top-level football.

While many players have impressed in this SANFL season, AFL sides will be looking closely at age and list needs. In 2022, the average age of Mid-Season draftees was 21 years old.

Several promising footballers have stood out as strong fits for struggling lists, while several undrafted youngsters have backed up their strong under-18 seasons.

Here are six of the best SANFL prospects to keep in mind ahead of the AFL Mid-Season Draft.

3. Martin Frederick - Sturt

Sturt's Martin Frederick is one familiar name who has already put his name up for selection.

The former Power defender has starred in the Double Blues' undefeated side, adding pace and attacking threat from the wing.

Frederick played 14 AFL games before being delisted at the end of 2022, but has since played himself into form at Sturt.

The 23-year-old is averaging just under 20 disposals in the SANFL and backed his selection in the recent State Game as one of South Australia's best.
