Port Adelaide recruit Jack Whitlock has declared he wants to prove every other club wrong after being taken with pick No.33 in the AFL draft. The teenager endured a night of mixed emotions on Wednesday after twin brother Matt was taken with the very last pick of the first round, leaving Jack in tears at not having been selected to that point. But the key forward did not need to wait long when the draft resumed on Thursday evening.
” Jack will leave his brother behind in Victoria but he will be joined by best mate Joe Berry at Port Adelaide. “I was so happy with that,” Jack said. “Known Joe for a few years now through footy and we’ll be loving Adelaide life, I reckon.” Meanwhile, the Western Bulldogs took the mature-age route to add more power to their forward line. Sam Davidson, 22, has joined his childhood club after bouncing around Victoria while studying to be a doctor. “It’s bloody awesome,” he told 7NEWS.
