AFL.com.au analyses our list ahead of the 2016 NAB AFL Draft.

Draft selections: 14, 17, 30, 31, 85

Backs: Promising key defender Logan Austin gained valuable experience in an injury-ravaged Power backline last season. Tom Clurey looked good when he came in for the last nine games after being sidelined with injury. Riley Bonner can fill a gap off the half-back line if there are injuries to Jasper Pittard and Matthew Broadbent.

Midfield: Brendon Ah Chee looked into a move to Gold Coast for more opportunities for senior football before staying at the Power for the final year of his contract. Veteran Matt White returns after missing last year with a torn pectoral muscle. Karl Amon has potential to be a damaging runner. Rookie-listed Will Snelling looked good in his AFL debut in round 23.

Forwards: Aside from Charlie Dixon and the improving Aaron Young, the Power look a bit thin in attack after the departures of Jay Schulz and John Butcher. The 188cm Jesse Palmer is a player of promise after playing the final three games last year. The diminutive Jake Neade can provide great tackling pressure in the forward 50, while Dougal Howard can also be a tall target.

Rucks: Patrick Ryder will be the favourite to be the first-choice ruck, with Matthew Lobbe as his back-up. Jackson Trengove is likely to be revert to his usual defensive post, but battled hard in the ruck last season. Howard looks like a handy prospect once he recovers from a torn ACL, while the Power also have another talented youngster in Billy Frampton on their books.

The priority: Another high-end midfielder is needed to complement Robbie Gray and Ollie Wines, as is a key forward to eventually replace Westhoff. - Lee Gaskin

Dream draft according to Cal Twomey: Port is well positioned to grab a midfielder with one of its two first-round picks, and Jordan Gallucci could be in that mix. He brings pace and ball-winning ability. Another good ball user might be on Port's radar as well, bringing classy half-back Alex Witherden into the mix.
