The club’s interstate recruits today learned which WAFL side they will suit up for in 2008 should they not be selected for Fremantle during the season following the annual WAFL Allocation.
Clayton Hinkley, Fremantle’s second selection (No. 24 overall) in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft, will have Swan Districts as his WAFL club, Mark Johnson will have Perth as his while Rookie Draftee ruckman Brent Connelly will have West Perth as his WAFL club.
Joining Brent at Arena Joondalup is Kepler Bradley. Originally drafted to Essendon from West Perth via the 2003 NAB AFL Draft, Kepler will return to the Falcons for WAFL duties in the 2008 season.
WA born NAB AFL Draft recruits Rhys Palmer and Chris Mayne will retain their links with East Fremantle and Perth respectively, as will NAB AFL Pre-Season draftee Josh Head who will remain aligned with South Fremantle. Rookie Draftee Luke Pratt will also remain linked with Swan Districts.
