Top draft prospect Finn O’Sullivan has been labelled as the most well-rounded midfielder of this year’s draft.
Despite having a luckless run with injuries this year, he managed to play a game in the Tigers' VFL side and two games for the Oakleigh Chargers.
O'Sullivan admits that his second cousin - Carlton midfielder Sam Walsh - has heavily influenced the way he plays.
“He’s a great inspiration for me,” O’Sullivan told SEN's Sportsday.
“Just watching him I’ve figured out what his traits are. His competitiveness and his running ability are the two things that I would say.
“I don’t mind going up for a couple of marks too, so Isaac Heeney as well. I would say him too.”
O'Sullivan also weighed in on how he sees top 5 draft of the draft playing out after SEN's Adam Cooney asked him to list himself at pick three, and fill in the blanks around that.
“I’ll say Sam Lalor pick one,” O’Sullivan said.
“It’s a very deep draft pool, but for me, I think he is so powerful. He’s really athletic, he's quick and he’s a great bloke off the field.
“Then I would say Jagga Smith pick two. Sid Draper as pick four to the Crows and Harvey Langford pick five.”
The AFL National Draft will begin on 20 November 2024 at 7pm AEDT.
