With all newly drafted players in attendance, the camp serves as an excellent opportunity to provide the draftees with a range of practical information and advice to help the fledgling players make the most of their AFL career.

 

Day one also saw the draftees taken through the range of important codes and regulations they are subject to as AFL players, including the Anti-Doping Code, Illicit Drugs Policy as well as a compelling presentation from AFL cultural diversity consultant Frank Bassini.

 

Frank was joined by AFL players Harry O'Brien, Bachar Houli and Setanta O'hAilpin who all spoke passionately and thoughtfully about their personal journey into the AFL.
