Swans New Recruits

Footy season may be over but there is still plenty going on for those of us interested in the off field occurrences, and I’m not talking about the stories in the gossip pages of footballers late night escapades. On Saturday 25th November all clubs met at the Telstra Dome in Melbourne for NAB National AFL Draft. It is where all the young players in Australia hope to be recruited by AFL clubs. Positions in the draft are generally determined by where you finish that season, although the order might change after teams decide to trade draft picks for current players during the trade week. Sydney obviously finished second so they have later picks in each round.

The player they ended up choosing are:
15 – DANIEL O'KEEFE, Geelong Falcons Vic (pictured)
Good sized midfielder
49 – DANIEL CURRIE, Northern Knights Vic
Developing ruckman
65 – PETER FAULKS, Calder Cannons Vic
Key defender
79 – JESSE WHITE, Southport Qld
Future key position player

Look out for these young men, as they are the future of your club.
