The conclusion of the AFL<\/a> Trade Period has turned the industry’s attention to the AFL Draft<\/a>, which will take place from November 19.<\/p>\n

While the big names such as Charlie Curnow<\/a> have dominated headlines, many clubs improved their draft hand either by increasing the number of points they have to match a bid for tied talent, or advanced their place in the order.<\/p>\n

Below is a club-by-club breakdown of how each club is positioned a month out from the AFL Draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Adelaide<\/p>\n

Draft hand: 16, 48, 55, 64, 73, 75, 93, 111 = 1026 points<\/p>\n

The Crows have a steady draft hand, and will likely enter night one at a time where there is the opportunity to take a South Australian if they choose to look local.<\/p>\n

The only tied prospect they may take is defender Mitch Stevens, the son of Mark from the Gippsland Power, who tested well at the Victorian State Combine, but he would be a later or rookie selection, so it would be a simple enough transaction if the club wanted to pursue it.<\/p>\n
