The first AFL draft, so more than a few teams didn't know what they were doing. They all get a pass mark, as does the AFL which was the VFL then, as the introduction of the draft enabled the AFL to distribute the talent more fairly than happens in other sports in Australia.


Melbourne grabbed Steven Febey in the top 10, and his brother later with their next pick. That might be called conduct prejudicial to the integrity of the draft these days, but then it was good family values.

Brisbane have used many early picks in the drafts, and when they selected Leslie it was actually one of their better choices they made in those times. Unlike many players picked by the Bears, Leslie did join the team and he had a solid career for them.
