Despite claims to the contrary simply being picked in the draft does not make this person notable and therefore he appears to fail WP:Athlete as he has not competed at the fully professional level of this sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport. Once he has played at the fully professional level of this sport he can be recreated but until then this is just a crystal ball AFL stub. -- VS talk 22:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: He was awarded the best player award at the National Under 18 Champs (Div 2), ergo notability. Needs to add some refs though. The-Pope (talk) 14:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep Won an award, 40th in draft. Seems like it might squeak by. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete His award needs to be kept in the context of Div.2 of the U18 championships, which featured the three weaker teams. This is slightly unfair in that he had no choice of the state he represented, but as a guide, Tasmania which won Div 2 went on to lose every Div 1 game. So I'm not convinced that winning this lesser award automatically confers notability.  Again, if he succeeds and gains appearances at the highest level then notability in my view is assured, but not until then. Murtoa (talk) 01:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep On precedent. Similar arguments occurred last year and the year before after the draft, and each time the result was keep.Aspirex (talk) 11:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Every year we have the same debates, and every year we come to the same conclusion that it's a lot simpler to keep the articles. He will be on the list for the whole of next season, making him one of only 44 players to be able to play for Carlton next season. - Allied45 (talk) 01:11, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This appears to pre-empt the outcome and is not helpful, particularly seeing that at least some of this year's articles are actually being deleted. "We" haven't necessarily come to the same conclusion this year.  He may be on the list, but "every year" we see some of these players simply making no impact and reverting to relative obscurity.
