This year's AFL Draft gets underway on Wednesday night with the first round only.
It will continue with the remainder on Thursday night, before the AFL Rookie and Pre-Season Draft on Friday morning.
Coolamon teenager Liam Delahunty has spent the last two years with the AFL Academy and has long been considered the region's best chance this year.
Leeton-Whitton's Cooper Sharman has surged into consideration after a stellar season with Balwyn and Oakleigh Chargers.
Henty's Nick Murray is the third prospect.
ACT and Southern NSW AFL talented and coaching manager Cam Bernasconi believes all three would prove worthy selections.
"They are all very different players and have all come through different pathways. They have all got opportunities and have all showcased themselves this year," Bernasconi said.
"Liam was a very, very good junior player and had a good year before a few injuries at the back end.
"Nick is a 19-year-old who had a second chance with the Giants Academy and had a super year. He's a very good chance.
"And Cooper is a player who came through the program and didn't play at the top end in his 18th year but moved to Melbourne, has been a late developer and really showcased himself this year."
