It's not easy to edge out endurance beast Tom Phillips in the 2k but Jay Rantall managed to do just that in preseason, making the perfect first impression. As an inside midfielder who thrives at the stoppages, the former Australian representative basketballer averaged 26 possessions with 11 contested, plus six clearances and a goal at NAB League level. Rantal could prove to be one of the prime sliders in this year's draft. He'll be constantly pleading his case for senior selection but will remain a fringe player this year, as the Pies are stacked with midfield talent and already have to fit in established players returning from injury. He is one to squirrel away in the memory bank for future years.
