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.

6. Jed Hagan - Port Adelaide

The season-ending ACL of Mitch Georgiades has left Port Adelaide with a list spot, which it may use to elevate Jed Hagan onto its AFL rookie list.

The talented 175cm speedster has been building form this season after missing out on selection in last year's National Draft.

Hagan was particularly impressive in a win against South Adelaide in Round 6, finding 19 touches and covering the ground well.

At 18 years of age, the Western Australian could be snatched as a long-term prospect by another AFL club, unless Port Adelaide uses its pick to secure his talents.
