Power Draftees from the AFL Website.

Riley Bonner: The club's first pick at the 2015 NAB AFL Draft has already shown his teammates and coaches the skills that saw him dominate off half-back at under-18 level. It's already clear he uses the ball really well.

Aidyn Johnson: Boasting speed and agility, Johnson's injury-free and his tenacity has been on full show so far this pre-season. When training as a small forward, his coaches have been thrilled by the pressure he's laid on his opponents.

ROOKIES

Will Snelling: Having come from a senior SANFL environment, Snelling has taken the step up to the AFL in his stride. He's a professional operator â€" both on and off the field from all reports. His stoppage work against senior listed players has been impressive.

Cameron Hewett: Needs to put on some weight, but hasn't let that stop him from doing all he can this summer to put his best foot forward. Eager to join in whenever he can.

Dan Houston: He's still got some way to go to build to an AFL-standard fitness, but his body shape has already changed. He's clearly an intelligent player who's shown good composure when in possession at training.

Kane Mitchell:Having been re-drafted as a rookie, Mitchell is now back into full training after a slight knee issue before Christmas. Everyone knows what they'll get â€" he's super fit, never gives up and is continuing to work on his disposal. - Harry Thring

Bonner & Snelling are my favourites of the lot

Good to see Kane 'The Mascot' Mitchell is still on the list as well hahaha

The term 'injury-free' is not appealing in draftees. It really makes no difference whether or not they have a prior injury (The Hawks picked Mitch Thorp over Joel Selwood because the former was 'injury free' and the latter was 'injury prone' - ending in a very ironic result). Hopefully Aidyn Johnson can be a steal (I haven't really looked into the kid so I don't know too much about him).
