A few of guys are running around in the Futures Game at 9.35am today. It's a showcase for those who are considered to have a good chance of getting drafted in 2024.
Joe Harrison will be playing for Team Selwood in jersey number 4. Since he regularly played as an under-ager in the Talent League and other academy matches, I'm guessing that Swans management consider him to be our most promising prospect. He's a tough inside mid, who has good skills and also spent a bit of time as a small forward.
Mitch Woods is number 3 in Team Natanui and Joel Cochran is number 14. Woods is a nippy midfielder and small forward, who was played a bit in the Talent League this year and made the U16 All Australian side the previous season. I'm not sure if Cochran played in the Talent League this year, but he did play as an over-ager in the recent U16 championships. He certainly showed his versatility in those games, where he alternated between ruck, big bodied mid and key position player.
Hopefully all three improve their draft chances.
