The raw emotion of the draft-day experience, from an aspiring, young AFL player’s perspective, is captured in a special video feature produced by the AFL Players’ Association.

Richmond’s first pick (No. 12 overall) in the 2014 National Draft, Corey Ellis, is the subject of the video, with the cameras following his movements on the big day, from breakfast time, through to a late-night congratulatory phone call from a Tiger star.

We gain a wonderful insight into the various feelings enveloping Ellis, along with the 18-year-old’s mother, father and brothers, as they all contemplate his long-held AFL dream finally becoming a reality.
