AFL Pre-season Draft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pre-season draft is a draft conducted in the AFL following the AFL Draft. It is conducted at the same time as the AFL rookie draft. The pre-season draft is a place for all uncontracted players to nominate that missed the AFL Draft or who were delisted after this draft.
Given that changes to each AFL club's playing list is strictly restricted to the three drafts and the trade week, the headline news following each pre-season draft is often who wasn't selected, as much as who was selected. In the 2005 draft this included that Shane Woewodin, the 2000 Brownlow Medal winner, was not selected, and hence would not play football at AFL level in 2006. The number 1 pick in 2005 was Dylan McLaren to Carlton.
