Vic Metro's George Wardlaw is tackled by Vic Country's Oliver Hollands during an U17 Championships match on June 26, 2021. Many recruiters still believe he could be the best player out of the pool: the midfielder is tough, explosive and a game-breaker who has been best afield in his two biggest games this season (for Oakleigh against Sandringham in round one of the NAB League season and for the NAB AFL Academy against Collingwood's VFL side in May). The complicating factor with Wardlaw is his lack of games this season.

Do they stay at pick No.2 and take George Wardlaw, who has been viewed as the other leading contender for the top pick? Or do they look to turn the selection into multiple picks, splitting it and making a brave call to turn one great pick into more very good ones?ĪLL THE COMBINE INVITEES Full list of young guns heading for trials Should North bid – it would be very hard not to this year – they have options.

There are several factors why.ĭRAFT HUB Click here for the latest draft news If North Melbourne, as expected, holds the No.1 pick by the end of this weekend, the Kangaroos should be putting it on the table and see what's up for grabs. The No.1 pick at the draft hasn't been traded since 2001, when Fremantle famously traded it to Hawthorn for Trent Croad and Luke McPharlin as the Hawks swooped on Luke Hodge with the first selection at the famous 'Superdraft'. This is the year they shouldn't just be listening to offers for pick one, they should be initiating trade discussions about the top pick. EVERY year, the club with the No.1 pick in the NAB AFL Draft says they will listen to offers for the selection before always just holding it for themselves.
