A livewire forward, Dovaston becomes a Kangaroo at pick No.16 after the club traded picks with Carlton to move into the draft's first round.

The Roos's second selection landed them a key defender who many pundits had expected to be snapped up in the draft's first round.

Hailing from Sturt in South Australia, Thredgold boasts a big-game mentality, having delivered a best-afield performance in the SANFL U18 Grand Final. That's backed up by his elite athletic traits, as evidenced by top 10 results for pace and vertical leap at the national Draft Combine.

The Kangaroos took their time before making their third and final selection at this year's Telstra AFL Draft, testing the Gold Coast and Carlton with bids for academy prospects in the draft's third round.

When their uncontested pick finally arrived, the Roos landed Geelong Falcons recruit Mikunda. A creative forward who can also play through the midfield, he will add to the club's stock of clean ball-users, having impressed with his incisive foot skills for the Falcons and Vic Country in his draft season.
