Duursma, the younger brother of Port Adelaide's Xavier, has shown plenty to suggest he will be a potential top-10 pick next year this season playing for Vic Country and Gippsland Power in the NAB League.

He is a marking, athletic forward who booted 31 goals this year for the Power, including a haul of six early in the season, while Reid is the younger brother of Essendon's Zach and is a key forward.

McKercher looms as a top talent from Tasmania after exciting this year as a bottom-ager, while Jed Walter shapes as an early selection next season. Walter, a jumping tall forward, is tied to Gold Coast via its northern Academy.

The teams have been named after former Tigers defender Bachar Houli and Carlton star Marc Murphy, who both undertook mentoring sessions with the groups this week. Sydney Academy coach Nick Davis will coach Team Houli and Eastern Ranges coach Travis Cloke will coach Team Murphy.
