Not sure if anyone will be interested in this, but I found a program from the carnival and noticed quite a few AFL players.

B: David Teague (GV-NM/Carl) Luke Penny (Dand-WB/St.K) Josh Hunt (Bend-Geel)
HB: Ty Zantuck (West-Rich/Ess) Jason Cloke (East.-Coll) Ben Matthews (West-Syd)
C: Ben Johnson (Prest-Coll) Robert Murphy (Gipps-WB) Ryan Houlihan (GV-Carl)
HF: Ryan O'Keefe (Cald-Syd) Jonathan Brown (Geel-Bris) Brent Guerra (Bend-Port/St.K)
F: Damien Cupido (East.-Bris/Ess) Brendan Fevola (Dang-Carl) Paul Chapman (Cald-Geel)
R: Josh Fraser (GV-Coll) Cameron Ling (Geel-Geel) David Spriggs (Prah-Geel/Syd)

Not a bad team. There were also enough for a second team.

B: Shane Tuck (Dand-Rich) Billy Nicholls (Geel-Haw/Rich) Kane Munro (Bend-WCE)
HB: Matthew Shir (GV-Adel) Adam Morgan (Oak-Port/WB) Rhyce Shaw (Prest-Coll)
C: Marc Dragocevic (Geel-Rich) Marc Bullen (GV-Ess) Dylan Smith (Cald-NM/Freo)
HF: Ryan Ablett (Gipps-Syd/Haw) David Haynes (West-WC/Geel) Ezra Poyas (Prah-Rich)
F: Shane Harvey (Prest-Ess/NM) Jeremy Clayton (Ball-NM) Kayne Pettifer (Bend-Rich)
R: Jason Blake (Prah-St.K) Cadyn Beetham (Oak-St.K) Jon McCormick (GV-Carl)

The positions for the seconds team are all over the place. Maybe someone else has more suggestions.

Overall, out of 615 players, 36 got drafted and had various degrees of success. I'm sure a few others got rookie listed (ie: Leigh Sheehan for Collingwood).

What on earth did North see in Dylan Smith to draft him with pick 6?

You sure Shane Harvey was in that lot? He is three or so years younger than the other blokes.

He would of only been about 12 in 1996.

It's hard to know Longy. He would have been 13 years old! I guess it was only an under 15 comp. The program says 'Shane Harvey-Preston' for Northern and his Afl.com.au profile says 'Preston RSL/Northern U18'

Maybe he was an early bloomer. Doesn't seem to have capitalise on it quite yet.

Captained Vic Metro and was a dominant player at U18 level just like Luke Livingston.

Pretty good side. Imagine them playiong against each other as kids and now as adults. Be great to get some pics of the players.
