Port Adelaide select Todd Marshall with pick No.16 in the 2016 National Draft.

"Todd’s a tall forward, he’s not a genuine key forward – a bit more rangy in his build and his athleticism. He can get up and down the ground, has got great agility, takes the ball well in the air and kicks good goals," Port Adelaide national recruiting manager Geoff Parker said.

"He’s probably not too dissimilar from one of our current players who plays as a tall, rangy forward."

The Giants last-ditch bid to retain access to Todd Marshall fail safter the AFL rules that the Giants will not get first call on the tall forward in November.

"We're disappointed. The AFL has explained to us that it's a registration issue. It's not anything that we've done or done wrong or how long the player's spent with us," GWS football manager Wayne Campbell said.

"He's a unique circumstance in that he was asked a couple of times when he was 14 or 15 to come to the academy, but he was concentrating on cricket so he didn't.

"He decided to have a crack at it this year so registered with us, had a crack at it, played a game in the NEAFL and we developed a development plan for him and did all the things the AFL advised us to do. But there was an issue with the way he was registered, and that's what they've ruled on."

The 198cm forward, who kicked four goals in New South Wales-ACT's win over Queensland in the opening round of the under-18 championships, has a cricket background, having played in England in recent years.

But because he hails from Deniliquin, Marshall falls into GWS' grasp as an academy prospect, which has riled other clubs.
