Daniel Pratt

Pratt had a tough start to his career after being drafted by North Melbourne in 2000, delisted and picked up by Brisbane in 2002, then drafted again by North just a few years later.

After maturing on and off the field, Pratt became a highly effective defender and finished third in the Syd Barker Medal in 2007.

Injury niggles have plagued Pratt, but when fit, he is a proven A-Grade defender and uses his precision and excellent skills to carve up the opposition in the backline. Previous AFL club: Brisbane Lions (2004: 3 games, 1 goal.)

Draft history: 2000 National AFL Draft 3rd round selection (North Melbourne) No. 42 overall traded by Geelong for Kent Kingsley and draft selection No. 45 (Trent Carroll); 2004 rookie elevation (Brisbane); 2004 NAB AFL Draft 6th round selection (North Melbourne) No. 74 overall. First game for North Melbourne: Round 1, 2005 v Carlton. NMFC Cap: 914. Player honours: 3rd Best and Fairest 2007.

Player sponsors: Aaron Dunton and Fiona Marcum.
