Kurt Aylett

From Greater Western Sydney Age 21 Height 188cm Weight 78kg Position Half-back Games 1 

Official AFL Player Ratings rank 714

What he brings Still a bit of an unknown at AFL level, given injuries blighted his time at the Giants. Has good speed and endurance, so should offer a dose of outside run and rebound from defence.

From Geelong Age 31 Height 179cm Weight 89kg Position Midfield/forward Games 251 

Official AFL Player Ratings rank 88

What he brings If his hamstrings hold up, the three-time premiership Cat could play a major role in making the Bombers genuine contenders next season. A proven champion who can win games out of the centre or in front of goal.

From Greater Western Sydney Age 19 Height 189cm Weight 81kg Position Utility Games 12 

Official AFL Player Ratings rank 567

What he brings The young Northern Territorian is versatile – able to play as a mid-sized forward or back, or even through the midfield. Known for his athleticism and high-marking ability, he will be given time to develop.

Draft picks No.26 (from Western Bulldogs) and No.55 (from Fremantle)  

Traded: Stewart Crameri (Western Bulldogs), Scott Gumbleton (Fremantle), pick No.48 (Greater Western Sydney) and No.84 (Geelong)

Retired/delisted: Luke Davis, David Hille, Hal Hunter (rookie), Nathan Lovett-Murray

NAB AFL Draft picks: 26, 55, 66

Analysis: The Bombers played hardball on Crameri for nearly three weeks, but eventually accepted the Western Bulldogs' initial offer, believing it was better to receive something than nothing. Aylett and Edwards came cheap and have the potential to be long-term contributors, and Paul Chapman is a star. All in all, a good effort.
