In his first year of senior football, Tom Doedee shined to collect a number of accolades in his breakout season.

Selected with pick No.17 in the 2015 AFL draft, the impressive defender received his opportunity in Round One and grabbed it with both hands.

He went on to play 20 of 22 games, averaging 18 disposals, 5.6 marks (2.2 intercepts) and 3.2 rebound 50s.

In just his second game of AFL, he was handed an AFL Rising Star nomination and finished on the podium behind Collingwood’s Jaidyn Stephenson at the end of the season.

Doedee cleaned up at Adelaide’s night of nights, taking home three awards at the Club Champion dinner including the Mark Bickley Emerging Talent.
