Earlier, former Essendon player Shane Harvey was selected by the Kangaroos at the pre-season draft. Harvey joins his older brother Brent at Arden Street. Persistence has paid off for former Essendon VFL captain Josh Mahoney when he was drafted this morning by Port Adelaide. The 26-year-old has been an outstanding VFL player over the past five years and has finally reaped the rewards of his hardwork.
The BomberLand website will bring you profiles of the six new rookies later today.
