All the late mail for the AFL draft

South Australian midfielder James Aish holds the key Jeremy Lin Womens Jersey to tonight's AFL national draft, with clubs anxiously waiting to see what number he is snapped up at.

Aish, a skilful midfielder, has been highly rated all year and has played in Norwood's past two league premierships in the SANFL.

He was expected to be picked at No.4 by the Western Bulldogs, but speculation is rife they will instead secure Victorian left footer Marcus Bontempelli.

That would force Gold Coast to reassess their options with pick No.5. The Suns have been strongly linked to Tasmanian defender Kade Kolodjashnij.

If the Suns opt for Aish, that will almost certainly see South Australian Matt Scharenberg join Collingwood at No.6 and lead to South Fremantle's Cameron McCarthy moving to Brisbane at pick seven.

Kolodashnij would then slide, throwing the draft on its head.

That would boost Fremantle's chances of bolstering their key forward stocks with McCarthy at pick 17. It is believed Sydney (pick 15) are the biggest threat to the Dockers if McCarthy gets past the Lions.

Boom Victorian power forward Tom Boyd and highly rated Victorian midfielder Josh Kelly, the son of dual Sandover medallist Phil Kelly, are certain to be the first two names called out by Greater Western Sydney.

Jack Billings, another Victorian on baller, is expected to go to St Kilda at No.3, with Bontempelli at No.4 to the Bulldogs.

North Melbourne have already locked away father son recruit Luke McDonald, the son of former Kangaroo Donald McDonald at pick eight.

Melbourne will choose between Victorian midfielders Christian Salem and Nathan Freeman at number nine.

Collingwood is believed to be deciding between highly skilled Salem, Ben Lennon and Freeman at pick 10, leaving WA's Andre Iguodala kids Jersey Dom Sheed to join West Coast at pick 11.

WA's Patrick Cripps is being linked to Carlton at pick 13, West Perth's Blake Acres is among the players on Geelong's radar for pick 16 and mystery still surrounds whether Swan Districts star Dayle Garlett will be drafted.

4 W Bulldogs, Marcus Bontempelli17, 194cm, 83kg, Northern Jeremy Lin Pink Jersey Knights

It was thought the Dogs would take James Aish but the tall, left footed Bontempelli has drawn comparisons with Scott Pendlebury. Is Nick Dal Santo's cousin.

5 Gold Coast, Kade Kolodjashnij18, 191cm, 79kg, Launceston

Left footer renowned for his precision kicking from defence. Can also play midfield.

6 Collingwood, James Aish18, 184cm, 75kg

Tough choice for the Pies, Aish or fellow Croweater Matt Scharenberg. Aish is an outside midfielder who boasts exceptional kicking skills and has played in Norwood's past two league premierships in the SANFL.

7 Brisbane, Matt Scharenberg18, 191cm, 88kg, Glenelg

This was the pick earmarked for WA key forward Cameron McCarthy, but the Lions are unlikely to let Scharenberg slip past if he is available. Finished the season with a foot injury but can play forward, back or midfield and was rated as high as pick three just weeks ago.

8 North Melbourne, Luke McDonald18, 190cm, 85kg, Werribee

The son of former Kangaroo Donald McDonald who has been snapped up with a father son pick. Likely to start his AFL career as a half back but will develop into a midfielder. A great kick.

9 Melbourne, Nathan Freeman18, 184cm, 85kg, Sandringham

Speedy midfielder with damaging foot skills. The Demons got this pick as part of the trade with Greater Western Sydney to secure Dom Tyson.

10 Collingwood, Christian Salem18, 183cm, 81kg, Sandringham Dragons

Strong midfielder who is clean http://www.officialbasketballstore.com/andre-iguodala-jersey by foot and damaging inside 50m. Is a good decision maker, which could elevate him inside the top 10.
