2008 AFL Draft
Encyclopedia
The 2008 AFL Draft
consisted of four opportunities for player acquisitions during the 2008/09 Australian Football League
off-season. These were Trade Week (held between 6 October and 10 October), the National Draft (held on 29 November), the Pre-Season Draft (16 December) and the Rookie Draft (16 December). It was considered to be the last uncompromised draft before the draft concessions given to the Gold Coast and Western Sydney expansion team

being likely to be traded during the AFL's annual trading period, but each re-signed with their clubs before the trading period started. The main discussions during trade week were the surprise request by Ryan O'Keefe
to be traded from Sydney
, as well as the destination of young Fremantle
ruckman Robert Warnock
, both of whom wished to be traded back to their home city of Melbourne. Other players to request trades include Andrew Lovett
, Brent Prismall
, Mark Seaby
, Farren Ray
, Josh Carr
and Daniel Harris
.
North Melbourne
surprised many early in the week by naming Hamish McIntosh
and Corey Jones
as players available to trade, with McIntosh later being withdrawn from the offer after a backlash from his manager and club legend Glenn Archer
.
Like most years, no trades were completed during the first three days of the trade week and for the first time the AFL was requested to assist by providing a mediator to solve the stand-off between Fremantle and Carlton over the Warnock deal. Carlton had offered its second round selection, #24 overall, but Fremantle wanted its first round selection, the sixth overall. On the final day of trade week Warnock was traded. The deal included Fremantle's pick No. 69, in exchange for Carlton's picks 24, 56 and 72.
In total only six trades were completed, with O'Keefe, Lovett, Seaby, Carr and Harris unable to finalise deals during the week. The low number of completed trades prompted calls by the AFLPA
for a form of free agency
to be introduced, although it could be explained as a one-off event due to a combination of the high regard for the players available in year's draft and the impending concessions to be given to the expansion team

in last position and had the first selection in the draft. As both Melbourne
and West Coast Eagles
won less than 5 games during the season, they were eligible for a priority pick. As this was the first year in which they qualified, the priority pick was allocated between the first and second rounds of selections.
Ayce Cordy
was the first player selected in the draft as the only father-son
selection. The Western Bulldogs
had to use their 1st round selection, #14, to secure him after St Kilda bid their #1st round selection for him. His father, Brian
, played 124 games for the Bulldogs
in the 1980s.
The top two selections were widely tipped to be Jack Watts
and Nic Naitanui, with Daniel Rich
, Tyrone Vickery
, Stephen Hill
, Chris Yarran
and Hamish Hartlett
to fill the next few selections.
captain and Brownlow Medal
winner Ben Cousins
would be selected by the Richmond Football Club
. Richmond, the only club to show interest in recruiting Cousins, had one selection in the pre-season draft (because it had only one space left on its senior list). In the week leading up to the pre-season draft, Richmond requested to have Graham Polak
(who had been hit by a tram the previous season, with it not clear at this stage whether or not the resulting injuries would end his career) moved to the rookie list, to free up an additional list space and give them a second selection in the pre-season draft. The request was similar to one made by and granted to the Essendon Football Club
a few years earlier with respect to Adam Ramanauskas
, but there were key differences which led to Richmond's request being rejected by the AFL and a majority of rival clubs on December 15th. Although Richmond had maintained throughout the previous week that it would draft Cousins only if its request to put Polak on the rookie list was granted, they selected Cousins anyway with their only selection in the pre-season draft. Josh Carr's return to Port Adelaide was the other major player move.
