    That's what I thought too off the top of my head, but using the wiki as the single source of truth it puts Bevan as 2003 rookie list, 2004 promoted (with McVeigh 2002 drafted). For the life of me I can't remember the details beyond that and looking them up would be, be, well... easier than typing this obviously!
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

      Paul Bevan was drafted in the 2003 Rookie Draft, but was elevated in season 2004, hence why he it says 2004 Rookie Elevation.

        But the draft by which Bevan became a 2003 rookie would have been the 2002 rookie draft. Unless it was before they switched the date of the rookie and pre-season drafts from just before season start to mid-December, in which case technically Bevan would have been drafted in 2003 rather than 2002. But either way, both McVeigh and Bevan joined the club for the start of the 2003 season - it was the first one they were both on the list.

          I looked it up using the AFL Record Guide to Season 2008, and it says he was drafted in the 2003 National AFL Rookie Draft.

            I had thought that it might have been something to do with a simple switch of dates with the rookie draft, but again my efforts were mispalced

              No. But if your name is Paul Bevan on RWO you can be - very much, extremely, excessively, abundantly, amply, completely, considerably, copiously, countlessly, endlessly, extravagantly, fully, generously, greatly, immeasurablely, lavishly, limitlessly, endlessly, plenteously, plentifully, profusely, substantially, voluminously . . . maligned

                Now that I have changed it, somebody goes and says that I was correct in the first place.

                    The recently completed drafts are referred to as:

                    2007 National Draft
                    2008 Rookie (and pre-season) Draft

                    Apparently having it a few months later classifies it as happening in the next year! Probably the same thing happened back in 2002.

                          He will stop being maligned when he starts playing decent football on a regular basis. If he continues to play 3 bad games out of 4 then people will keep having a go at him.

                          Seems fair enough to me.
