Episode Synopsis "Long Term Player Development in Australian Rules Football"

The AFL Draft is open to players after they have played in an Under 18 competition. Modelled off the US NBA & NFL drafts but obviously there majority of players are in their 20’s, mature and proven. This podcast discusses the maturational issues, training needs and even social aspects of a young AFL draft. It is my opinion this causes a “trickle down” effect on development, especially after Under 14 where talent ID seems to really start.
