AFL Draft

The AFL Draft is an annual event where Australian Rules Football teams select new players to join their rosters. It allows clubs to choose talented young athletes, often from junior leagues or other competitions, to develop and strengthen their teams. The draft process promotes fairness by giving all clubs an equal opportunity to pick players in a specific order, usually based on their performance in the previous season. This system helps ensure a healthy, competitive league by distributing new talent across teams and encouraging the growth of player careers.
