The Draft Highlights

Essendon loaded up on the pace and class that was in short sup-ply at Windy Hill.

North Melbourne only had two picks but they made them countwith midfielder Brad McKenzie, who is an outstanding kick, andpromising key forward Tom Curran.

St Kilda added experience in recycled Eagle Beau Wilkes andlanded impressive mid-sized forward Daniel Markworth with pick39.

Adelaide fans woke up bewildered after the Crows who areshort on talls opted to take players they regarded as the bestavailable instead of targeting height. They ended up with fourmids and flankers.

Fijis AFL star Nic Naitanui will travel home to be part of the action. Hewill be joined by Tongan Israel Folau who will play his first AFL seasonwith the Greater Western Sydney Giants in 2012. Its inspiring to seelads from our neighbouring islands make the big time in the AFL.
