What are pick write ups?
'The Northfield Pilots are a team situated in South Australia, in honour of one of its unsung heroes in aviation, by the name of Sir Ross Macpherson Smith.'
"It is with great pride that I was chosen through random exercises to kick off this inaugural 'AFL Eras Draft', where the best of the best are chosen throughout their respective eras of dominance and grace. Many players were considered, from all over the nation and their respective leagues. As each player was checked off the list, it was the qualities of camaraderie, sheer brilliance and a willingness to win that this team was on the lookout for. So without further adieu...
With the FIRST OVERALL DRAFT PICK IN THE AFL ERAS DRAFT 'BEFORE 1935s', THE NORTHFIELD PILOTS SELECT... KENNETH WILLIAM GEORGE 'KEN' FARMER, From the North Adelaide Football Club of the South Australian National Football League."
(Ken Farmer, runs out for his final game in 1941 at Norwood Oval)
The man knownforth as one of the best the state of South Australia has ever produced and witnessed in the decades of the '20s, '30s and '40s. Known in SA as "The Bradman of Goalkickers", Ken Farmer was infact one of the most decorated Full Forwards in the history of Australian Rules Football, exceeding other full forwards such as Gordon Coventry, Tony Locket and so forth. Words cannot abound his feats in the game of Aussie Rules, nor does it capture the true essence of his dominance and playing ability. I'll leave the following statistical records and achievements for you all to be in awe of...Career Achievements:
- SANFL debut with North Adelaide in 1929

Haha lol BoshtrichBurger, it isnt a state league one.
I will not try again, as the 'AFL' was not in action until 1990.
That is a legit pick, so unless you two can stipulate to me why that pick isn't legal, then that pick stays that way.

Because the AFL is a renaming of the VFL...?
Not a good enough reasoning in my opinion.
Your reasoning against my pick was because it was a 'state league', yet the VFL was also a state league.

Thats just ridiculous pup. Maybe it's time you handed the captaincy reigns to HughesyNah! I live in Melbourne
Not changing my pick.Yet it was the league that is the AFL.
Where does it stipulate in this draft that SANFL or WAFL or any other players outside of the VFL BEFORE the inception of the AFL CANNOT be selected?
This needs to be clear cut, because if this bullshit is going to happen, then this game would be too Vic centric in the early goings, and not a clear representation of an Australian game.

But no one gives a crap about SANFL.
All AFL stats are counted from the VFL years. I thought it was pretty clear cut to be honest. It's just like you picking blokes from the Shield in the cricket draft
