South Australian ruck Alex van Wyk joined Port Adelaide with Pick 14 in the 2026 mid-season draft. A talented tap ruck known for his deft delivery to his midfielders at stoppages, van Wyk averaged 23 hitouts, 8.6 disposals and 2.4 marks in his seven games for North Adelaide in the SANFL before getting the call from the Power. Prior to joining the Roosters, the 21-year-old won back-to-back best and fairest awards for Norwood’s reserves side and has represented South Australia at under 18 and under 20 levels.
The talented tall made his AFL debut in the back end of Port Adelaide's 2026 campaign and showed fantastic potential. Towering at 203cm, he has the tools needed to succeed at the highest level.
He'll continue to work alongside fellow rucks Jordon Sweet and Dante Visentini, aiming to get more AFL experience under his belt.
