Interesting that had the Swans not drafted Ronke as a rookie Essendon could have drafted him as a rookie Cat. B under their Next Generation Academy (as his mother has some South African heritage). Ronke came from the Calder Cannons (TAC Cup) and before that St Bernard's under-19s. Clearly the Essendon NGA (which only started in 2016) had nothing to do with his introduction to AFL or his development. So pleased Kinnear Beatson got there first!
