THE REALITY of being drafted to an AFL club hit Fremantle's six new recruits on Monday morning, with the players introduced to their teammates, given a tour of the club and offered a taste of pre-season training.

With medical assessments later in the day set to dictate when they can hit the track, the draftees were instead talked through the session before being presented to the media with newly appointed senior development coach Simon Lloyd.

No.4 draft pick Anthony Morabito was the first player unveiled and he said after thinking and talking about being drafted for so long, arriving at the club had made his dream a reality.

"Now that I'm actually at the club it's starting to sink in and seeing the boys doing the hard yards on the track, I just can't wait to get into it," the 18-year-old said.

Morabito, who was unable to participate at October's NAB AFL Draft Camp because of a quad injury, said he had since resumed running and put in three weeks of full training with WAFL club Peel Thunder.

"I'm feeling pretty well - no dramas," he said.

"We'll just have a medical with the docs and see what they think. If I'm right to go I'm right to go."

While Morabito settled in to his new surroundings, Tasmanian recruit Jesse Crichton, who was snared with pick No.48, was still acclimatising to the Perth weather.

The lightly framed midfielder, who says he likes to play on the wing, is a former member of the AIS-AFL Academy where he was mentored by Nathan Buckley.

"He was really good, he just gives you lots of advice all the time and he'll give you a call if you need him to, or send you an email," Crichton said of the Collingwood champion.

"[His best advice was] probably just to do the work early. Get in and get it done with and you don't have to catch up."

Dylan Roberton, Fremantle's fifth selection at pick No.49, said he was looking forward to running his first 3km time trial at the club, and when Lloyd explained the 191cm defender's athleticism it was no wonder.

The Victorian runs a 14.6 beep test and has a personal best time of 10min 13sec over 3km.

"It's the top 10 per cent of the national draft, so at the moment that would be in our top two or three at the club," Lloyd said of Roberton's 3km form. "It's very impressive."

Roberton, who is living with forward Ryan Murphy, said he was hopeful of using his endurance to push into the midfield or onto a wing.

However, South Australian Justin Bollenhagen, who was recruited with pick No.52, said he was happy to play anywhere on the field

"I'm pretty versatile, so I play wherever the coach wants to put me, wherever I fit into the team," he said. "Predominantly this year I played rebound defence or on a wing."

Bollenhagen said putting pressure on himself to lead his South Adelaide 18s side helped him improve his football this season and launched him into draft calculations.

However, he still wasn't expecting to hear his name called out at the draft.

"I thought I might have had a better chance at the rookie draft," he said. "I was pretty new on the scene, so I didn't think I'd be [taken] in the national draft."
