Draft Part 2

Here are the Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts.

Pre-Season
1. Melbourne- Joel McDonald (Brisbane). Still can't understand why he left Brisbane or that Brisbane didn't give him the opportunities but Melbourne have picked up a good player.
2. Richmond- Dylan Grimes (Northern Knights). Brother of Jack.
3. Fremantle- Adam McPhee (Essendon). Gone back to the club where his career started. More opportunities he is seeking and I think he will get at Freo.
4. Sydney- Daniel Bradshaw (Brisbane). With Brisbane surprising everyone and picking up Fevola it left Daniel out of the loop and therefore with the prospect of the trade situation, he decided the best option was to leave. But could you imagine a forwardline with Brown, Bradshaw and Fevola? Not sure but if it did happen it would leave the opposition backline saying "Shit how are we going to stop this."
5. West Coast- Ryan Neates (Claremont).
6. Port Adelaide- Scott Harding (Brisbane). Bit of a surprise but he will serve them well.
7. Essendon- Kyle Hardingham (East Fremantle).

Rookie Draft- You will notice that this is the first time that the Gold Coast will have selections ahead of their inception in 2011.

1. Gold Coast-Daniel Harris (North Melbourne, Mature aged Rookie). Good player and if he had the opportunities at North then he would still be there.
2. Gold Coast- Michael Coad (Sturt, Mature aged rookie).
3. Gold Coast- Sam Iles (Box Hill Hawks). Shows a lot of promise.
4. Gold Coast- Roland Ah Chee (Norwood).
