WITH less women’s footy over the summer months than fans have become used to, we here at Rookie Me Central take you down memory lane and look back at key moments in women’s footy history from the past few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today’s inaugural article, we rewind to the very first AFLW Draft, which was held in 2016 ahead of the debut AFLW season the year after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were ultimately 145 picks made in that draft, and after a lottery GWS had the honour of the first pick, which was used to select Nicola Barr<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four of those first eight selections are still at their original clubs, and in an interesting coincidence all four are the non Victorian clubs’ inaugural picks – Barr, Emily Bates<\/a>, Hayley Miller<\/a> and Ebony Marinoff<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlton’s first pick Bianca Jakobsson<\/a> is now at the Saints, the Western Bulldogs’ choice <\/strong>Jaimee Lambert<\/a> is now at Collingwood, Collingwood’s selection in Nicola Stevens<\/a> is now at St Kilda, while Melbourne’s pick Elise O’Dea<\/a> is now at Carlton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highest pick no longer on an AFLW list is pick 10 Heather Anderson<\/a>, whose career was cut short by injury. Tragically, the 2017 premiership Crow passed away in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the lowest draft pick still on an AFLW list is Rebecca Privitelli<\/a>, who was picked up at 142 by Carlton but then went to the Giants and is now at the Swans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full 2016 Draft is below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
