2006 AFL Preseason Draft Results
1 Carlton: Cain Ackland
2 Essendon: Mal Michael
3 Kangaroos: Ben Ross
4 Port Adelaide: Adam Cockshell
5 Hawthorn: Josh Thurgood
6 Richmond: Kent Kingsley
7 St. Kilda: Matthew Clarke
8 Collingwood: Chris Bryan
9 Carlton: Cameron Cloke
More analysis will follow for both the preseason and also the rookie drafts. Ben Ross, a small forward, will rejoin Hansen as the Kangaroos find another player from the Gippsland Power. Cockshell is a big goalkicker from Norwood so the Power picked a local player. Thurgood gets the second chance he deserved with Hawthorn. Kingsley could be used alongside Richardson and Riewoldt as the Tigers try to find more goals.
Clarke was who the Saints wanted and the Saints have plenty of ruckmen to choose from now. Bryan should be an effective backup for Fraser and they could rotate through the ruck and a position in the forward line. The reports were right and Cloke was picked by Carlton. So Carlton and Collingwood did end up swapping talls.
