ONLY nine fresh faces have been given opportunities via the 2024 AFL Rookie Draft, after a bumper crop saw 71 players selected in the National intake across Wednesday and Thursday. Of the 24 picks, 13 were used to re-list players, while two delisted youngsters found new homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former-Saint Ben Paton<\/strong> will also don new threads after his name was called out by Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bendigo Pioneers forward Archer Day-Wicks<\/a> was the first junior to be picked up, with Essendon’s pick five. Geelong was busiest with three selections, including a pair of local Falcons products in midfielder-forward Xavier Ivisic<\/a> and ruck Joe Pike<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A handful of club-tied players were also pre-listed as Category B rookies out of their respective clubs’ academies. Only two selections were made in the Pre-Season Draft, with Hawthorn having committed to Jack Gunston<\/strong>, while Brisbane signed delisted Sun, Sam Day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n ROUND ONE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pick 1: North Melbourne Pick 2: West Coast Pick 3: Adelaide Pick 4: Gold Coast Pick 5: St Kilda Pick 6: Essendon Pick 7: Fremantle Pick 8: Collingwood Pick 9: Carlton Pick 10: Western Bulldogs Pick 11: Greater Western Sydney Pick 12: Geelong Pick 13: Port Adelaide Pick 14: Sydney Pick 15: Brisbane ROUND TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pick 16: Adelaide Pick 17: Gold Coast Pick 18: Essendon Pick 19: Fremantle Pick 20: Collingwood Pick 21: Carlton Pick 22: Greater Western Sydney Pick 23: Geelong Pick 24: Port Adelaide Pick 25: Sydney Pick 26: Brisbane ROUND THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pick 27: Gold Coast Pick 28: Essendon Pick 29: Carlton Pick 30: Greater Western Sydney Pick 31: Geelong Pick 32: Sydney Pick 33: Sydney <\/p>\n\n\n\n Essendon: <\/strong>Jayden Nguyen<\/a> (Calder Cannons) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pick 1:<\/strong> Hawthorn Pick 2: <\/strong>Brisbane <\/p>\n\n\n\n2024 AFL ROOKIE DRAFT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
