POTENTIAL top pick Luke Davies-Uniacke will have a final chance to press his claims on the No.1 spot on Grand Final morning after squads were named for the NAB AFL All Stars clashes.
The under-18 All Stars game, featuring players eligible for this year's draft, is a curtain-raiser at the MCG on Grand Final morning. AFL.com.au will be broadcasting the game live.
Davies-Uniacke is likely to be the main No.1 chance to play in the game, with injury forcing other contenders Cameron Rayner (hand), Paddy Dow (shoulder) and Adam Cerra (shoulder) out of the contest.
Likely Richmond father-son Patrick Naish and potential top-10 picks Jaidyn Stephenson, Jack Higgins and Nick Coffield are among the other leading prospects set to take the stage.
There will also be an under-17s All Stars game played on Friday, September 29 at Simonds Stadium featuring players for next year's draft pool.
The teams for both matches have been named after recently retired champions Corey Enright and Brent Harvey. NAB AFL Academy assistant coach Brad Johnson will coach the Enright sides, and fellow assistant and WA under-18 coach Peter Sumich will lead the Harvey sides.
