THE RUNS are on the board. Now it is over to the clubs.

Draft seasons around the country are finished and the audition period for prospective picks is over. All that awaits are Telstra AFL Draft Combines, including the national and state trials, before clubs then get to work on finalising their orders before November's intake.

This is our third Phantom Form Guide ranking of the season, and there is plenty of movement and a handful of new faces to feature in the top 30.

Remember, this Form Guide does not take into account where bids will fall on father-son or Academy players, nor is it a prediction of where players will be drafted. It is simply a ranking of the best players in the crop.   

Duursma continued to perform in his draft campaign and played well in big games throughout the year. The Brendon Goddard-like prospect can play just about anywhere, he flies for marks, takes on kicks, boots goals in big moments and stepped up when it mattered at under-18 and VFL level late in the season. Duursma is right in the mix to be the No.1 pick and is as talented as any in the draft class this year. He finished the year predominantly as a forward and kicked 16 goals for the Power this year.  

After his long layoff with back stress fractures, Uwland was keen to get back out onto the field late in the season, which he did for Gold Coast's VFL side. While not dominating, the classy left-footer had enough moments to remind everyone of his standing in the pecking order of this year's draft after being a bottom-aged All-Australian at under-18 level. The Suns Academy prospect has Errol Gulden traits with his hard running and smart kicking and can move around the centre square to start his AFL career.   

After getting a taste of VFL action with Essendon in August, where he kicked 3.2, Duff-Tytler played forward for the Cannons in their finals series, including kicking 2.5 in wildcard round against Oakleigh. He also had 21 disposals and 14 hitouts that day, showing his capacity to get around the ground and have an impact. He has not only looked at Tom De Koning in the ruck but also Riley Thilthorpe in attack and is keen to be able to have an impact in both positions. 

'The Rocket' is the most exciting player in this year's pool – when he's got the ball it's must-watch. You aren't sure exactly what's coming next with Patterson because he sometimes makes it up on the go and backs himself with his pure speed and dash. But beyond that the Suns Academy player understands the game well, sees options and can be really important in how he sets up his team's attack from half-back or through the midfield. Patterson is dynamic in every sense.

Aside from the stellar performances over the past two years, the capacity to hit targets by hand and foot and step up when his team needs him, Annable is a draftee with leadership and someone his teammates have followed behind in recent seasons. The Brisbane Academy prospect played in the Lions' VFL side in the finals and averaged 21 disposals and nearly four tackles across his eight VFL games. Annable is a footballer's footballer and is ready to go.

The bolter of this year's pack is firmly in the best group of prospects. And it has come from nowhere. After being cut from the Dandenong Stingrays squad, Robey burst onto the scene mid-year with the Eastern Ranges. At first it was as a connector half-forward who marked on the lead and was effective around goal. But his past month Robey has exploded to be a midfielder with burst, size and strength, having amassed 40 disposals and three goals against Western Jets and then two goals and 25 disposals against the Calder Cannons the following week. In the Grand Final last weekend, he played predominantly forward and booted four goals to show his class in attack. Robey was a lot of clubs' best kept secret but has just kept rising and is well in contention inside the top 10 picks having been elevated to the national Draft Combine.

Finished his season with a bang, being named best afield in the Coates Talent League Grand Final after collecting 25 disposals and 15 marks across half-back. Taylor was a key member of Eastern's premiership season throughout the year and shapes as an early selection on draft night. There's a bit of Josh Weddle to Taylor in his attacking mindset and capacity to take the game on and work it out on the go. Taylor is a taller defender who can play on a range of different forwards and he has shut plenty of the dangerous options out of games across this season. At AFL level he could be the type of backman to be used wherever required.

The Carlton father-son prospect is the best key defender in the draft. He intercepts, he stops, he negates, he marks and he uses the ball comfortably. The son of Blues' dual premiership player Peter was injured last season but returned this year to star for Murray and Vic Country, including perhaps his best game of the year against Vic Metro in the under-18 carnival. He will attract an early bid for the Blues to match. 

It is Sharp's size and strength which gave him an edge this season across all levels he played. The bigger-bodied inside midfielder does what he does: he breaks tackles, he busts through clearances, he finds the ball and doesn't play many bad games. He was able to put together some promising SANFL league games for Central District having starred for South Australia and being named captain of the under-18 All-Australian team. 

Schubert made his debut for Central District's SANFL side in the first week of finals and kicked a goal from eight disposals while not looking out of place. The broad-shouldered key forward is a hard worker who showed that persistence throughout South Australia's under-18 carnival as the dominant key forward in the championships. Schubert kicked 28 goals from 13 games for Central's under-18 team as well.
