The SFL hierarchy is very pleased that two of its registered players have been picked in the AFL draft.
Collingwood can be very pleased with its pick of Bill Morrison who is a player of unbelievable talent – he kicked nine goals on debut for the North Hobart seniors as a 15 year old – but missed the 2003 season with a shoulder injury, after he sustained it in the International Rules series earlier in the year. He was picked at number 17 while registered Clarence player Cameron Thurley, classed as a hard-running midfielder who had a fine year with Tasmania in the VFL, was a great story, as he was a 50/50 chance and was thought to go late in the draft. He went at number 22 to Geelong. Also picked from the Devils/Mariners was Alex Gilmour who played all his junior football with Sorell prior to moving to the North of the state. Alex is a young midfielder, who continued to grow in stature in recent times

Also Brett Robinson was very unlucky to miss out.

Maybe one more season down here, if he can get some game time with the Devils and play well, I reckon next years draft might be the one for him.

Hopefully, I think he is a very good player. He played extremely well in the finals for the Devils and I think that its a shame that he missed out this year.
