Jonty and Mitch are back ahead of the first weekend of action to kickstart the 2026 AFL Draft season, with SANFL U18s and Talent League matches commencing.

As well as flagging the prospects who have turned heads over pre-season, they also give their premiership predictions for the four leading pathways competitions, and even name who they think could go Picks 1-3 at the end of the year.
