Interesting list of players. Richmond and Hawthorn generally give a large number of players from there VFL alignment a chance to do a month or so of pre season with them. Usaully these clubs only chose 1-2 players max in the rookie draft. Past players picked up from Box Hill include Ben McGlynn, Clinton Young, Kristian Height, Sam Mitchell etc

pathway

If you agree that the VFL is a pathway to the AFL - it is pretty hard to argue that AFL-VFL alignments don't work when you look at the list of boys doing AFL pre-seasons. Consider Essendon, Dogs, Hawks, Melb and Richmond.
