Draft picks were as follows
Melbourne National Draft Selections - Pick # 9
Luke Molan
Geelong Falcons
12/13/83
192 cm
90 kg
Tough, hard key position player at either end. Strong overhead and represented Victoria Country in 2001.

Craig Cameron says ... "Luke is a young lad from Camperdown, who played for
the Geelong Falcons. He should develop into a key back or key forward line player. His courage and attack on the ball are both highly rated. Luke is a terrific mark and will push for senior selection in 2002."


Melbourne National Draft Selections - Pick # 25
Steven Armstrong
Perth
12/1/84
178 cm
77 kg

Midfielder who is strong overhead and has excellent skills under pressure.
WAFL senior player for past two years and AIS/AFL Academy member in 2001.
Joint-winner of 2001 Larke Medal as best and fairest player at AFL National
Under 18 Championships.

Craig Cameron says ... "Steven is one of the classiest players in this
year's draft. Although only 17 years of age, he has played senior grade
football for Perth in the past two seasons. He has good disposal skills,
and will add strength to the Melbourne midfield. In 2001 he represented
Western Australia in the U18 Championships, and was awarded the Larke medal
as the Championship's Best and Fairest."


Melbourne National Draft Selections - Pick # 26
Aaron Rogers

NSW/ACT Rams
5/1/84
192 cm
86 kg

Strong marking forward from St George in Sydney who kicks goals. AIS/AFL
Academy member in 2001.

Craig Cameron says ... "Aaron is a leading forward, who is very good
overhead. He was named All-Australian following the U16 Championships in
2000 and AIS / AFL Academy representative last year


Melbourne National Draft Selections - Pick # 55
Brad Miller

Mount Gravatt (Qld)
6/7/83
190 cm
88.5 kg
Tall inside defender with good athletic ability including exceptional
endurance. Queensland U18 Captain in 2001.

Craig Cameron says ... "Brad is a very courageous and athletic player. He has the makings of an excellent tall, running player. Brad runs 3km in ten and a half minutes, which would place him among the best at the Club for endurance. As one distinguished football identity said today, "Brad would gladly break his nose to get the footy!". He has also shown good leadership ability and captained Queensland in this year's under 18 championships."


ok so we got a defender, a forward a midfielder and someone who can play at either end. hmm sounds interesting.... We passed on picks 70 and 82
 
yeah, i was just having a look at the profiles... is good to see we got a defender and a kinda defender.
i'm looking forward to going to to training and seeing for myself what their skills are and whatever, but i'm hoping the dees made good choices!! i wish them all luck for the future (omg, how funny does that sound?!?!)
