AFL Draft: West Coast Eagles add two more as Fremantle Dockers go for mature recruit
AFL DRAFT: Which young hopefuls will realise their AFL dream on night two of the national draft?
After an entertaining first round, we’re back for round two - and beyond.
There are still plenty of West Australians on the table after West Perth’s Jacob Farrow was the only WA product taken, picked up by Essendon in the top 10.
West Coast added No.1 pick Willem Duursma and Cooper Duff-Tytler with their first two selections before swooping on Josh Lindsay with their later pick.
Adam Sweid was the Dockers’ sole selection in the first round, after Essendon opted not to match the bid for their academy product.
See which West Aussies remain up for grabs in The West Australian’s AFL Draft Hub and follow all the action in our live blog below.

Ruck and roll!
The Dockers have locked in Mason Cox to join the club.
The former Magpie will officially sign on Monday.
Hard luck story
WA U18s captain Fred Rodriguez was the unlucky young gun to miss the draft from the WA crop.
It was a good night for WA overall as Koby Evans, Tylah Williams, Sam Swadling, Charlie Banfield and Cody Curtin joined Jacob Farrow in the AFL
Repaying the faith
Tylah Williams has spoken after being drafted to the Eagles.
He spent plenty of time at the club through the Academy, including a stint working the desk at the team store.
Finally done!
All the clubs remaining have passed and that is the end of the draft action.
Pick 60 - Western Bulldogs
The Dogs like brotherly love and Will Darcy will join his monsterous brother at the Kennel.
Pick 59 - GWS
Jake Stringer has been re-drafted by the Giants.
Pass
The Dockers pass on another pick and it seems their night is done.
Sydney also look like they are out.
Pick 58 - St Kilda
Ryan Byrnes has been re-selected by the Saints after a change of hearts and that looks like business done for St Kilda as they start to pack up.
Koby Evans
The young gun said it was not a surprise the Eagles didn’t match the bid but added he was just happy to be in the AFL.
Pick 57 - Collingwood
Angus Anderson is a Pie.
He started at the Swans’ Academy but spent time playing SANFL.
He is an elite runner and very fit.
