The 2023 Pre-Season & Rookie Draft Thread

Featured Replies

The 2023 Pre-Season Draft will commence at 3:00pm with the Rookie Draft following at 3:20pm.

From afl.com.au

AFTER 64 players achieved their dreams of joining an AFL club at the 2023 AFL Draft this week, a handful of clubs will add more players to their lists today in the 2023 Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts.

A total of 27 players were picked up in last year's Rookie Draft, which clubs often use as a list management mechanism to move players around their lists.

Much like previous years, the bulk of the rookie selections today are expected to be players who have been recently delisted, but whose clubs have already committing to re-drafting them as rookies. Sydney's Sam Reid, Hawthorn's Chad Wingard and Melbourne's Jake Melksham, who are all on the comeback trail from serious injuries suffered in 2023, are expected to be among this group.

But will there be another diamond in the rough who finds a new home after being overlooked in the National Draft on Monday and Tuesday?

Tune in live from 2.55pm AEDT on AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App as draft experts Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge bring you all the details.

Clubs may pass with their selections today and opt to leave some list spots open for potential pre-season signings under the AFL's supplemental selection period over summer.

What's Daniel Turner's status now? Is he a primary listed player or a rookie?

Primary. AFL did away with needing to announce rookie upgrades at the draft a few years ago.

 

Jake Melksham and Kynan Brown have both been taken in the Rookie Draft - confirmed via AFL Draft show.

Sounds like they also did away with needing to announce them to the general public and supporters as well.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
