draft pool code test
Australia's best network.
There aren't too many players as exciting as Ainsworth in this year's draft. The Victorian small forward can change a game with his brilliant work in the front half. Last year he was the second leading goalkicker in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships as a bottom-ager. He's a brilliant overhead mark, a confident shot for goal and wants to move into the midfield this year. Has genuine star factor.
Would suit: Only a few clubs will likely get the chance to think about Ainsworth, who is tipped to be an early choice. Any club wanting to add a lick of class to its forward set-up gets a readymade half-forward in the 18-year-old.
