Zac Antonellos scouting report
Zac Antonellos is the 2026 draft crop’s sharp "front-half dynamo and pressure catalyst". Standing at an elusive 179cm, the Eastern Ranges livewire is an established big-game performer. He cemented his reputation on the big stage during the Ranges' 2025 Coates Talent League premiership run, where he stepped up as a 17-year-old bottom-ager in the Grand Final to torch the opposition with a match-defining 17 disposals and 3 goals

More from the scouting notes
Tyson Stengle provides an exact role match for Antonellos’ crafty, high-conversion play. At 179cm, Antonellos doesn’t rely on brute size; his primary edge is spatial manipulation, elite crumbing footwork, and clinical finishing from impossible pockets. Like Stengle, he possesses that innate sixth sense for where the ball is going to spill off pack contests, gathers with clean, one-touch hands at full stride, and snaps around his body with total precision.
Where could he fit in your mock draft?
Use the projected range as a starting point, then compare the role with other available players. A range is an assessment of the pool, not a community average or a confirmed club preference.
