2015 AFL Draft:

1. Carlton: Jacob Weitering

2. Brisbane: Josh Schache

3. Sydney: Callum Mills (Academy selection - matched bid from Melbourne)

4. Melbourne: Clayton Oliver

5. Essendon: Darcy Parish

6. Essendon: Aaron Francis

7. GWS: Jacob Hopper (Academy selection - matched bid from Gold Coast) 

8. Gold Coast: Callum Ah Chee

9. Melbourne: Sam Weideman

10. Carlton: Harry McKay

(12. Carlton: Charlie Curnow - the only other player in the draft to go close to Clarry's impact)

----

Essendon were extremely keen on Oliver. One version of events had us trading up to Pick 3 from Pick 6 to get ahead of Essendon to ensure we got him. 

My memory was lost in a lane in Marrakech but didn’t we start with pick 6 and traded it and others to the Suns to get 3  and 10 and be in front of Bombers fro Clarry then traded our 10 to GWS and others  for Bugg and 7 to get Weed...but that could have been another time..

No, I'm sure he  shook it Rusty. He must have been quick though. He pinched my watch and I didn't notice that until much later.

Thanks for that - diminishing memory at work, again.

Not sure we were ever going let him slip. Apparently we were the only ones that liked him as a first round pick. Was considered a bolter only because Melbourne were interested and had two picks in the top 10. That's the great thing about our recruiters now. Capable of identifying real talent and going for it. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think you might be mistaken there. Oliver was going to Essendon with pick 4 or 5 hence why we moved up the draft order. 

 

10 or 12 clubs requested that Oliver attend the Draft Camp as he was not an automatic selection as he didn’t play for Vic country. 

 

Im just glad we made the right decision with Oliver over Parish

That is also my recollection of events.

All good DV.  Most ppl tell me my humor is completely unfunny and warped also.  I dont know why i bother either sometimes.  Guess i try to see the lighter side of things where i can.
