It was a big night for the Brisbane Lions at the 2015 National AFL Draft as we secured five new players:

Josh Schache (pick 2), Eric Hipwood (pick 14), Ben Keays (pick 24), Rhys Mathieson (pick 39) and Sam Skinner (47).

Our fans followed most of the action through our social media accounts and their reactions were positive:

Schache was our first pick at pick no. 2: 

Next off the rank was Eric Hipwood with pick no. 14:

And then Hyundai Help For Kids Lions Academy product, Ben Keays:

The fans seemed happy with our first three through:

And then came Rhys Mathieson, a surprise for many (and a steal for us) at pick 39:

And then we secured Sam Skinner:

And then Peter Schwab's job was done and dusted:
