HI All

Just thinking about the draft and is this possible. Since the debate is now who to take with our second pic,k can this be done.

We choose our 3 top preferred players, X Y Z.

We speak to them all and indicate we want to draft them, X Y and nominate for the national draft and where we take them 1 and 2.

Can we ask player Z to wait and only nominate for the preseason draft where we also have pick 1?

I assume their is some AFL law against this, is that the case?

    My understanding that is you can't just nominate for the psd, you nominate for the Nov draft which makes you eligible for the psd. Jurrah was an exception because he was late with his application and the AFL gave him special permission to go into the psd because of his circumstances.

    pity :)

    Unless you're Liam Jurrah, of coarse.

    He missed the dead line to nominate for the national draft and got special consideration to be considered in the PSD, where he was picked up pick 1.

    ABSOLUTE MASSSIVE STEAL

    If we are talking about Under 18's - then you cannot solely enter the PSD

    However, if you have played at an AFL club before - you now have the luxury of choosing to just enter PSD and bypass the November draft (see Chris Johnson).

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
