The 2001 AFL draft saw an unprecedented output of exceptional talent that has not been seen in the years before it, or ever since. This is not their story.
Trading Fortunes delves into the inner machinations of that off-season during a moment in time when the cowboys and chaos of the leagues amateur past collided with the innovation and exploration of its professional future, and how the actions of a progressive few created a ripple effect on the game in the decades that followed.
This is the untold story of the unsung, and in some cases, unassuming heroes that took chances and bet big at a critical turning point in the evolution of the AFL all in the hope of changing their clubs fortunes, even at the expense of their own.
