The Brisbane Lions have selected North Ballarat Rebels’ Jarrod Berry with pick #17 at the NAB AFL National Draft in Sydney.

Berry is a great leader who was perhaps the best performer at the recent draft combine.

He is an incredible endurance athlete and is a versatile prospect on the footy field.

Standing at 191cm, he can play across both half forward and half back, but his elite engine could soon see him develop into a full-time on-baller.

JARROD BERRY: 191cm/82kg, 5/2/98

  • Vic Country / North Ballarat Rebels
  • Hybrid Mid / Hyb Defender
  • 2015 VC MVP & AA.
  • Captain of both North Ballarat and Vic Country, his season was restricted by injury and lacked the impact of last year.
  • A versatile, athletic type who plays with a great team ethos and leadership.
