2007 AFL Preseason and Rookie Mock Drafts
The AFL lists will soon be filled, with the preseason and rookie drafts only hours away. Plenty of stars have been acquired in both drafts over the years. Scott Welsh is supposed to be on the way to the Bulldogs, but there are three teams who can still stop that. The Bombers will have two choices in the preseason draft.
The rookie draft will provide a number of players who will make an impact in 2008. At Geelong, one rookie player might be getting into the action sooner than expected if N Ablett does not play, although the rules may not allow a rookie promotion right away. A couple of players from the NSW scholarship program and several international players will officially join teams via the rookie draft.
The Lions and Swans might also select players from their states before the rookie draft, but this may not happen as the NSW scholarships have taken a few players away from the Swans and the better prospects in Queensland who missed out on the national draft are not old enough to go as rookie selections.
Reviews and results for the drafts will be posted tomorrow.
