2019 AFL Draft club review: Hawthorn Hawks
MUCH of the pre-draft talk surrounding Hawthorn was where a bid would land for Finn Maginness, with the rare opportunity to nab a quality first rounder to go with the father-son prospect presenting itself.

2019 AFL Draft club review: Gold Coast SUNS

2019 AFL Draft club review: Geelong Cats
WHEN it comes to approaching the National AFL Draft for Geelong, the Cats fans and wider general public expect a couple of things.

AFTER a trade period that saw Essendon largely retain most of its list despite the likes of Joe Daniher and Orazio Fantasia linked to other clubs, the Bombers headed into the draft to just fill some holes and improve their mid-table finish to a top four hopeful.

2019/20 AFLW off-season review: Melbourne
THE 2019 AFLW season was an interesting one for the Demons, who found themselves in a difficult conference playing against premiers, Adelaide and flag favourites, North Melbourne, winning four of their seven matches and ultimately would have made finals in the alternate conference. However, the Dees have proved they have consistency over the first three […]

ENTERING with an uninspiring hand and exiting with two steals of the National Draft, Collingwood supporters and staff alike should count themselves as one of the big winners out of the 2019 AFL Draft.
