I know that Davey, Lovett-Murray and Moloney are obvious contenders, but are there any other decent rookie-elevations that have proven themselves over the last few years?
 
If your talking about Brent Moloney he was selected in the preseason draft not the rookie draft.

For Geelong, the best Rookie elevation IMO is Jarad Rooke when he is on song. I love watching Rooke play.
 
How recent do you want?

Brett Kirk came off the rookie list in 1999
Mal Michael started on Collingwood's rookie list
Chad Fletcher at the Eagles
Mark Johnson
Damien Peverill
Russell Robertson
Dean Brogan
Dean Cox
Aaron Sandilands
Robert Haddrill
Greg Tivendale

They're probably the pick of the bunch

ARGH! Whoops. You're damn well right.
I was going to mention Rooke but he sorta paled a little this year.

Add Robert Copeland to your list.
 
Andrew Kellaway and Rupert Betheras both were drafted to their clubs after spending time as top ups in the reserves not the rookie list.Betheras did however spend a year as a rookie at Fremantle.

WOW!! :eek: There are some real gems that came off the rookie list.

IMO Chad Fletcher would be the best so far. Brett Kirk possibly second but he did take a while to find his feet.

Mal Michael would shade both these two, although they have turned into good players too.
