I'm not sure what to believe, as the AFL website should have it right but does tend to get a few things wrong! For instance, calling it the 2018 AFL Rookie Draft, when it is in fact the 2019 AFL Rookie Draft!! The Fox Footy tv guide says 12pm on the 23rd for live Day 2 coverage:

I thought it was the 2018 Draft. Why would it be the 2019 Draft when it's 2018?
 
It could be a very long night! This year they have brought in live trading of picks to the draft for the first time, and they no doubt want to allow themselves plenty of time to see how that pans out. According to what it says on the Pies' website, they have allocated one hour for another delisted player free agency period [Friday 23 November (1.30pm – 2.30pm): AFL delisted player free agency period (3)], so trying to fit everything into the one night would surely not be practical.

The new format doesn't annoy me! I like the fact that the National Draft will be spread over a couple of days. When watching/following it in the past it has always bugged me when some of those crucial early selections come and go in a hurry - now there might be a fair bit more time for fans to ponder the significance of some of those selections, and the impact they might have on upcoming selections.

I also like the fact that all the drafts will be out of the road in the space of 24 hours. It used to annoy me when there was a fair gap between the National Drafts and the others; that will no longer be an issue.

Guess with this new Format they can actually talk about the Pick that was made then talk about what the next team might do

That's why I like the idea of this new format - there should be a bit more time to talk about/think about a selection that's just been made and the effect it could have on the picks of other clubs.
 
I thought it was the 2018 Draft. Why would it be the 2019 Draft when it's 2018?
For the peculiarity that the rookies will be that in 2019.

I’m with you just call it all the 2018 draft, keeps it simple.

That would Stuff Hine Up as he Just Calls the Name that is Next on his List

The upcoming National Draft is the 2018 National Draft, but the 2018 Rookie and 2018 Pre-Season Drafts were held about this time last year, so those drafts next week are officially known as 2019 drafts - even though the AFL website and others will get it wrong more often than not!!

While the National Draft is always named after the year in which it is held, the Rookie and Pre-Season Drafts are named after the following year. Going back quite a few years the PSD (and I think the Rookie Draft) was held just prior to the season commencing, in February or March I think. Then it was changed to the end of the year, so in that one year there would have been two PSD's held, and they needed to name the one held at the end of the year after the following year!

It might sound a bit odd, but it makes reasonable sense to me!!

The simplest solution if they prefer keeping in names by the year is simply call (use this year as an example) Rookie Draft 2018 (Spring draft)(or Second Rookie Draft 2018)

Then the following year it’s all 2019 and all is well.

It would have made things a lot easier for sure, if they had done something like that as a one-off when the change was made from having the PSD just prior to the season, to having it at the end of the year. I do agree that's its rather confusing (of course it would make more sense now to have all of next week's drafts officially known as 2018 drafts) but the damage is done, and they aren't going to go back and rename all those drafts that are named after the year following the year in which they were actually held!!!

COLLINGWOOD
PICKS: 41, 44, 57, 59, 60, 93.

DRAFT NEEDS
Collingwood have known for a long time that next generation academy graduate Isaac Quaynor and father-son prospect Will Kelly will be heading their way via the national draft. The only question is how much they will be required to pay for the pair, with the answer completely dependent on bids. Their five selections (41, 44, 57, 59, 60) allocates them a total of 1260 points, which keeps the Pies on the borderline when it comes to covering bids without going into deficit next year. Quaynor, a running defender who can play tall or small, has become more attractive every week with the Oakleigh Chargers player improving to the point where he is one of the top 20 in the draft. He is likely to attract a bid within the top 15, with some talk he could even figure in the top 10. Clubs only bid nowadays, however, if they genuinely want the player so they will need to be keen before lodging the paperwork. Kelly, the son of Magpies premiership player and player agent Craig, is an excellent tall defender but it is unclear where the bid will come for him. The Crows might be tempted to use pick 21, which will mean most of the Magpies points would be used, presuming they accepted the bid. This would leave them with only a late pick to play with on their third and final selection. Collingwood have also promised to re-rookie small forward Tim Broomhead and banned defender Sam Murray.

COLLINGWOOD
Draft selections:
41, 44, 57, 59, 60, 93

Backs: The concern is key defence, given Lynden Dunn and Matt Scharenberg underwent knee reconstructions and possible replacements Darcy Moore and Ben Reid are injury-prone. That said, the Pies' undersized and depleted defence was magnificent last year with the likes of Jeremy Howe and Tom Langdon growing in stature.

Midfield: The most talented engine room in the business, with A-graders Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom, Adam Treloar and Taylor Adams joined by returning champ Dayne Beams. And what if Daniel Wells finally gets his body right? Promising youngsters Brayden Sier and Tom Phillips form part of the succession plan.

Forwards: One of the 2018 revelations was how well American big man Mason Cox and mature-aged recruit Brody Mihocek worked with the 'Swoop Squad' comprising Jordan De Goey, Will Hoskin-Elliott, Josh Thomas and Jaidyn Stephenson. There are hopes they will be joined by injury-plagued star Jamie Elliott.

Rucks: The Pies appear well set for the best part of the next decade with All Australian Brodie Grundy in the No.1 role, with back-up from Cox and ex-Dog Jordan Roughead. Rookie ruckman Max Lynch is still in development mode.

The priority: Talls. Specifically a key defender and a key forward. The former would enable the likes of Howe, Langdon and Scharenberg to play roles more suited to their sizes. - Ben Collins

Dream draft according to Cal Twomey: The dream draft for the Pies is to claim rebounding back Isaac Quaynor (a Next Generation Academy prospect) and tall defender Will Kelly (a father-son) without going into a points deficit. Hugo Munn could be worth a look later in proceedings as a marking forward.

Anyone know much about Hugo Munn?

Anyone know much about Hugo Munn?


https://www.afldraftcentral.com.au/player/hugo-munn/

OVERVIEW

Hugo Munn is a big bodied key position forward, who at times pinch hits in the ruck, Munn has been a member of the AIS Academy Squad for the past two years and has been a consistent member of the Sturt SANFL League side in 2018. Munn was a member of this year’s 2018 South Australian National Championship winning team and played as a forward in most games.

Munn has a strong ability to mark above his head and showed through his body strength and size during the National Championships that he can turn a game with limited opportunity. He managed to kick key goals from marks in quick succession in a number of games, and also on the lead is difficult to match based on his size and reach. Munn’s biggest weapon during the championships was his contested marking and he is an excellent kick for goal. He is athletic to fly for the ball and based on his height, hard to defend.

At Sturt in 2018, Munn managed seven games at League level and one at Reserves level and finished the season with eight goals, averaging one goal per game. As a key forward at his age at SANFL League level he was often against experienced defenders, but certainly showed he is capable. In one game in particular he was critical to Sturt securing victory with a big contested mark and goal. Munn was selected in Sturt’s Round 1 league side on the back of an excellent pre-season and also after spending time training with the Adelaide Crows to get exposure at the next level.

At times Munn was played across defence, and against bigger bodies but he certainly showed some versatility and confidence in flying for marks and hitting the packs at pace and hard. In his last game of the year for Sturt, he finished with seven marks and 12 possessions.

DRAFT PROJECTION: Third Round onwards

SUMMARY

Hugo Munn is a contested marking forward who has abilities to reward effort from his midfield and hit the scoreboard and create moments for his team. His size and ability will make him a key target for clubs and with some versatility to his game could turn into a valuable asset to any team. He does have some areas such as speed and versatility to work on, but he could be that power forward target inside 50 for clubs looking for a goal scoring option.

Averages one goal at state league level. That doesn't scream promise to me.
