Who will the Giants draft?
The Giants are really well placed coming into the draft, as at least six of their academy players look like they could make the leap onto the big stage. The Giants do have a few list spots, but the issue is whether or not they will have the points to match all the bids. Pick […]
Who will the Suns draft?
The Suns curiously downtraded from pick three to six, which suggests they believe they will snare the player they were originally keen on a little later. The Suns also have a late first round pick and a mid-second round pick to use. There are definitely some holes in the list, but the Suns seem to […]
Who will the Cats draft?
Geelong is in a really difficult position draft wise. They will upgrade Michael Luxford with their final pick, but they still have to draft at least three more players. Their first pick is at 66, which is already hard enough to predict, but there are a few players who might be around. Pick 57 (originally […]
Who will the Dockers draft?
The Dockers desperately need key position help from this draft pool, and they may be lucky enough to get it. Pick 26 (originally 22) The big fish: Ryan Burton The Dockers will need a a few clubs to overlook Burton a few times, but it’s not impossible for the Dockers to take the 191 centimetre […]
Who will the Pies take?
Collingwood goes into the draft with only a few picks. One of those will be used to upgrade Jack Frost, so the Pies are likely to only use picks 27 and 66. Pick 32 (originally 27) The big fish: Aidyn Johnson We haven’t had the chance to see much of Johnson through his injury battle, […]
Who will the Blues take?
The Blues will be really shaping the draft for some other clubs. The rumours coming out of the Blues draft camp have been varied, and it’s tough to get a read on them. Pick one The big fish: Jacob Weitering Weitering is the best player in the draft, and he’s got the runs on the […]
Who will the Crows draft?
Adelaide has some interesting picks in this draft. Its first pick is high enough to potentially grab a star player who might slide, but picks 9 and 13 (which will slide down due to the academy picks) also might be on the verge of grabbing players who are that rung below. Pick 13 (Originally 9) […]
Jourdan Canil’s Phantom Draft
The AFL national draft is almost upon us.

The 10 draft prospects you shouldn’t be sleeping on
1. Sam Weideman Weideman is perhaps the second most established key forward in this draft. He has missed much of the year with an injury and he may not be ready to test at his peak for the combine either. When you are not playing, people almost seem to forget about you. Weideman is clearly […]
