The time has come around again for the AFL Draft. The 2017 iteration of the event is scheduled for Friday, November 24 at 6:30pm AEDT, and will take place at the Sydney Showground Exhibition Centre.
There is plenty to watch, with eight rounds and 96 selections just waiting to happen. The Brisbane Lions have the first pick, and Cam Rayner, Andrew Brayshaw, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Paddy Dow are the names to watch at the top of the draft.
Next week, the NAB AFL Pre-season and Rookie Drafts will be held from 5pm AEDT on Monday, November 27 at the same time. These aren’t quite as exciting, but still worth keeping an eye on.
Following the drafts, clubs will need to submit their final lists for the 2018 season by Wednesday, November 29.
