Ten months after the 2020 AFL Women’s season was abruptly ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fifth edition of AFL Women’s will get underway this weekend, with several teams out to complete their “unfinished business”.
Draft watching has become an offseason pastime for avid AFL followers, with underage football coming under more scrutiny and analysis than ever before.
There’s no more optimistic day on the AFL calendar than the draft. Dozens of bright new talents make their way into the AFL for the first time, dreaming – as their new clubs and fans will be also – of what they might achieve.
In 2007 the AFL introduced a rule which has been a bit of a slow burn but become very popular. For the first time, they allowed clubs to complete trades for draft picks only – with no need for a player to be part of the deal.
There never has been and, let’s hope, never will be another AFL draft like 2020. The combination of compromise and pandemic will define this draft as likely the most complex and uncertain in AFL history.
Now that the AFL’s player exchange period has wrapped up for another year, attention is turning to the draft, which is scheduled as a one-day event on December 9.
After a frenetic, dramatic, and of course controversial final day of the 2020 AFL trade period, the competition’s player movement window has come to a close and it’s time to take stock of what each club has gained or lost.
We all knew it would end this way: deadline day has arrived and with more than a dozen trades still waiting in limbo, it is set to be a fast-paced and dramatic end to the trade period – just as it always is.
While we might be three months removed from the 2020 trade period, Collingwood’s bewildering efforts still occupy my mind.
The Gold Coast and surrounding area has long been the promised land of VFL/AFL expansion, producing such players as Michael Voss* and Nick Riewoldt**.
The Gold Coast Suns have completed the restructuring of the club’s coaching department, appointing Rhyce Shaw as their new head of development.
Now that Eddie McGuire has announced that 2021 will be his last year as president of Collingwood, what does that mean for Nathan Buckley?
After the success of ‘The Test’ showcasing the Australian Cricket Team, Amazon is about to release another Aussie sporting documentary – this time focused on the Australian Football League.
His first year back in Perth didn’t quite live up to the hype- will Tim Kelly’s second be better?
He’s far from the biggest name switching clubs, but costing the Eagles just pick 54, former Giant Zac Langdon could prove this year’s Dan Butler.
Anthony Rocca played for West Preston-Lakeside three years after his retirement from the AFL and this vision has re-emerged on social media as a reminder of just how good he was.
In May, Richmond Coach Damien Hardwick said the challenges around the 2020 season make it one that only the most resilient clubs will be able to overcome.
After leading for three quarters in their 2020 Adelaide Football League Division 3 Reserves Grand Final, Golden Grove had a tough time in the final term.
The ball is bounced to start the second half of the preliminary final and the Tigers trail 50-29.
