Not sure how that helps?

Most kids turn 18 at the back end of their draft year and are doing Y12.

Most are doing exams and getting ready to be drafted. Must be a huge distraction.

Imo draft age should be 19

Fold the U/18's
Draft at 16-19 on 3-1 year education scholarships paid by AFL to the school they choose. 3rd year draftees can be offered senior contracts after certain academic boxes are ticked.
Develop AFL administration around a school boys competition which feeds into age group carnivals from 12's to 16's.

Restrict local leagues to 16, 17, 18's, ressies and A grade and feed into regional rep sides.. Both sexes.

Player must attend classes, accept a modified curriculum including electives in fitness/sports industry/marketing/public speaking/finances/public relations etc stuff related to the opportunities success brings.
Restructure the Eastern border teams into 4 fixtures.
AFL

Better than idolising over a coach IMHFO.
Yeah. Bit worried about that too. :D
Or idolising over the previous failed coach …that’s worse …
on the other hand manic and obsessive idolising is hilarious to watch
Having been the object of your manic and obsessive idolisation for some time I can understand where your enjoyment comes from!
