AFL Pre-Season Draft done and dusted

No Tom Logan, no Shane Woewoedin...no Cupido, Haynes, Bullen, etc etc.

Interesting stuff indeed...Port overlooked Logan who I thought was setting all sorts of fitness and training records...

Tom Logan taken in the fourth round of the rookie draft. Is he tied to any club in the SANFL? Did he play any juniors in SA before heading to NT and does that tie him to a club?

Logan picked up in 4th Round of Rookie Draft by Port...he's a chance for us to pick up...it's ALL up to West.

I didn't realise Port had a 4th Round pick option...

No shane woe anywhere hey. I wonder where he will be playing now???

Interesting that Ben Fixter was picked up by Brisbane.
Was a surprise pick up by Sydney a few years back after he had already signed with the Bays and would have only played a handful of games for the Swans in his 3 or 4 years there.

Injuries curtailed his Swans career. Lions have reportedly had him thoroughly examined by the team physio who has declared him fit and able to play. Soft tissue injuries have been the problem but Brisbane think they can manage the issue.

Do appreciate the response Grimmett, it's just that it surprises me that they have taken someone who was never rated coming out of under age competition and was on a list for a number of years.
