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.

5. Billy McCormack -ย  Central District

One of the SANFL's best ruckmen, Billy McCormack is one to watch for clubs lacking depth in ruck stocks.

The 22-year-old is undersized for his position at 199cm, but has impressed with his follow-up work and sharpness at ground level.

A two-goal, 20-possession game against West Adelaide in Round 5 highlighted McCormack's dynamic playstyle, which could be attractive as a secondary AFL ruck option.
