afl draft

Its a thought that is still buzzing in my mind and I cant get it out, why didn't we take a key defender in the draft? I know we have paddy McCartin, Reid and Amartey that can have spells there, but they're not really long term solutions I feel. It just feels like we are missing that one more key...

As with previous editions from previous years, this spreadsheet will update automatically during the season. I will also try to post a screenshot of it once the round is over for posterity and so that the most up to date information is accessible in case the spreadsheet breaks for any reason...

Back and hopefully better than ever in 2017 for a third year in a row! Starting early this year, but later than I had hoped too. Some new features in my thread this year but the base has stayed the same. Also be sure to follow me on twitter @JPoulter04 and my work on AFL Draft Hub throughout...

Sorry this is a bit complex. But the draft system is already complex. To try to be fair - this is my proposal - if you like it - them maybe forward it on to AFL head brass! I am sure there are a few things that can be improved - I came up with it over about an hour... How about a much fairer...

With A League expansion being on the agenda is it time to start talking about another new AFL team. Currently Canberra, the Northern Territory, Tasmania and Cairns do not have AFL teams. Should a new AFL team be formed
