The AFL Draft is only a few weeks away and there's plenty of WA talent who are rumoured to be top picks. 

AFL Draft Specialist Callum Twomey joined Brad Hardie and Kim Hagdorn to chat about who is likely to get picked up. 

Twomey says Jason Taylor, Melbourne Recruiting Manager, confirmed they are looking at former Basketballer and current East Fremantle ruckman, Luke Jackson. 
 
"The WA boy, Luke Jackson is definitely in contention."
"He (Taylor) confirmed that Luke Jackson is well and truly in the mix for that selection.
"It'll be a big call, a brave call. We don't see too many ruckman picked in the top 10," Twomey told 6PR's Front & Centre 

"But I think clubs as well, look at Luke Jackson and think that he can play forward, so that's where I think he will go in the top 10," he said. 

Perth Demons player and Under 18s State captain Deven Robertson is also likely to be an early pick and Twomey says, he can see the youngster being a future AFL captain after he played in the State game with a dislocated shoulder.
