The Northern Knights would like to congratulate Billy Longer and Jack Newnes on being selected in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft held last night in Western Sydney.
Billy was the first Knights player selected at pick 8 overall by the Brisbane Lions, while Jack didn't have too long to wait being grabbed by St Kilda with their 2nd round pick number 37 overall.
It is a great achievement for these two boys and a just reward for a fantastic season with both the Northern Knights and Vic Metro.
Billy & Jack join another 2011 Knights player Dylan Buckley who was offically selected by Carlton at pick 62 last night after the club was succesful in securing him via the father son bidding process during AFL Trade Week.
The Knights wish all three boys the best of luck in season 2012 at their new clubs and we will follow their progress with interest.
