2001 continued .....
Medium Midfielders
12. LUKE BALL (Sandringham Dragons) Is touted as the No.1 Draft pick. Has huge expectations placed on him, but has the character to handle the pressure. Is related to former Hawks John Kennedy and Peter Russo both his uncle and ironically is likely to be drafted by Hawthorn. The Hawks claimed the first pick in the Draft from Fremantle after giving up young gun Trent Croad, due to Ball being rated by many as the best young midfielder going around. Produced fine results in the 20m Sprint, 3km-time trial and shuttle run.
13. JAMES BARTEL (Geelong Falcons) Was too young to be drafted last year after he was invited to the 2000 Draft Camp, but is likely to be hot property in 2001. Has been touted as a Top 15 Draft pick and showed glimpses of his talent in the skills session where he is rated as a ball magnet.
14. ANDREW CARRAZZO (Oakleigh Chargers) Had stress problems in his left shin and was unable to run.
15. XAVIER CLARKE (St Marys) Exciting youngster, who shone in the 20m sprint with a time of 2.94. Clarke, has a terrific character, possesses great skills and is touted as a 1st Round draftee. Is rated the best player under-age player from the Northern Territory. Will be one to watch.
16. RICHARD COLE (Pioneers/Eastern Ranges) Originally from Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, Cole shifted to Victoria where he played TAC Cup with the Eastern Ranges. Made his second appearance at the Draft Camp, after he attended, yet was too young to be selected in the 2000 National Draft. Was severely restricted at the camp with multiple injuries, but like Clarke, looms as a 1st Round Draft choice.
17. RYAN CROWLEY (Calder Cannons) Had a viral infection and was restricted with some results, but still managed to record a solid result in the 3km-Time Trial.
18. MARK DUBYNA (Sandringham Dragons) Topped the 20m Sprint in the medium midfielders and also produced good results in the agility tests.
19. STEVEN EICHNER (Port Magpies) Similar looking type to another former Magpie and current Demon in Troy Broadbridge. Eichner topped the standing vertical jump in his group, while he also came first off the left foot in the running vertical jump. He also recorded good results in the 20m Sprint.
20. CRAIG GLANCY (East Perth) Came second in the medium midfielders shuttle run, however he also missed some events due to injury, including the running vertical jump.
21. JASON GRAM (Gippsland Power) Showed good flexibility at the Camp, while he also achieved excellent results in the 3km-Time Trial in his division.
22. CHRIS JUDD (Sandringham Dragons) Is another young gun rated as a Top 5-6 pick. Judd was unable to attend the camp due to a shoulder reconstruction. Is thought to be almost a complete package in terms of athletic ability.
23. JAMES KELLY (Calder Cannons) Had a terrific camp, shining in the 20m sprint, agility and shuttle run tests. His performance in Canberra lifted his rating considerably.
24. MARK McGOUGH (Murray Bushrangers) Produced a fine result in the 3km-Time Trial, while he also topped the arm and handspan measurements in the medium midfielders group.
25. BRENT MOLONEY (Geelong Falcons) Had a consistent Draft Camp showing good speed and endurance, Moloney is a hard/tough midfielder, who is a great kick for accuracy and distance.
26. BRENT REILLY (Calder Cannons) Had a collarbone problem, was able to run, but was unable to participate in full contact drills. Reilly, a highly rated midfielder, is being touted as a likely 1st Round Draft pick.
27. JOEL REYNOLDS (Geelong Falcons) Had a viral illness and was unable to complete the running tasks at the camp.
28. CLANCY RUDEFORTH (Claremont) Was limited at the camp due to osteitis pubis.
29. NICHOLAS TRENFIELD (Assumption) The third oldest player to be invited to the Draft Camp, Trenfield was limited at the camp with injuries and was unable to participate in all of the events.
30. JARRAD WRIGHT (Woodville-West Torrens) A clean ball-handler who reads the game well, Wright recorded an impressive time in the 20m Sprint.
