With pick #43 Sydney choose Josh Bootsma. With a gameplan that relies heavily on run out of the backline, he will fill the gap created by the retirement of Taigh Keneally and the club is very happy that he unexpectedly slipped this far in the draft. Fremantle wanted to select him under the father/son rule but were ruled ineligible by the AFL. He is 190cm tall, quick and competitive, and played Colts football with South Fremantle in 2010 averaging 12.1 disposals in 13 games.
