2019/20 AFLW off-season review: North Melbourne
HAVING made a splash in its inaugural season, North Melbourne had a relatively quiet trade and draft period, retaining the majority of its list and heading to the draft just looking to top up with some readymade talent to go one better than in 2019 and make finals – hopefully pushing for a flag. The […]
2019 AFL Draft club review: Western Bulldogs
POISED nicely among the first round, the Western Bulldogs perfectly met the need for a pure small forward with arguably the best available, while filling out flanker depth and taking a punt on a different type of midfielder to their own who is coming off a long-term injury. With only three picks taken in the […]
2019 AFL Draft club review: West Coast Eagles
A PREMIERSHIP 12 months ago, another finals series and a huge inclusion over the off-season with Tim Kelly crossing from Geelong, West Coast was always going to be a quiet achiever in the AFL Draft period. The Eagles picked up two players – both West Australian as predicted by Draft Central prior to the draft […]

2019 AFL Draft club review: Richmond Tigers
IN one of the more interesting displays of draft tactics, Richmond stocked up on some long-term talent via the NAB League and, more noticeably, academies of two other clubs in the National Draft. With versatile and high-upside types landing at Tigerland, the reigning premiers will have fearsome midfield depth for years to come, and a […]
2019 AFL Draft club review: Port Adelaide Power
PORT Adelaide headed into the 2019 AFL National Draft with three top 20 picks, and by the time their third pick came around it was pushed back to 23 thanks to a couple of live trading deals. Building on its 2018 AFL National Draft where Port picked up a host of young stars in Connor […]
2019 AFL Draft club review: North Melbourne
NORTH Melbourne came into the 2019 AFL Draft with the potential to snap up a trio of sliders in the second round via picks in quick succession, or perhaps even trade up and get in the thick of the first round action. The latter somewhat ended up being the case, with the ‘Roos’ recruiting team […]
2019 AFL Draft club review: Melbourne Demons
ONE of the most talked about clubs heading into the 2019 AFL National Draft, the Demons looked set to shake up the first round with two top 10 picks at the conclusion of what could only be described as a horror season for the 2018 preliminary finalists. Needing some firepower up forward, in particular a […]
