Key Off-Season Dates
This is a comprehensive list including dates for draft combines, list lodgements, delisted free agency windows and return to train dates. I had to collate these from three different club websites because the AFL is lazy af and doesn't have it on their website, so thought it might be helpful to share:

FAQs & Resources Thread

It has an index at the top with threadmarks so it's easy to find what you're looking for – or easier than scrolling through 250 pages of AFL Rules, Regulations and CBA pdfs anyway.

These sorts of questions are all answered along with a bunch of other resources made by posters from across BigFooty (feel free to add to it!):

Yeah but surely everyone realises that it’s all bollocks and has no actual value?

Are you telling me these mock drafts have no effect on the actual outcome and I've been getting paranoid over nothing :oops:

Hopefully they have some correlation to the real draft.
That is their aim Afterall.
 
I didn't realise how good a runner Fahey was, but a sub six 2km trial is impressive.
Assuming we take him, If we add Callaghan as well we'll be starting to add some excellent run to the squad after adding Angwin last year. Kelly and Whitfield obviously elite.

It was done on strava… as a non runner, how reliable would this be?

Strava is subject to random GPS fluctuations but depending on the device it should be fine, especially since they've got a bunch of guys running together to cross-reference against.

Bruhn would be good before the draft, just to have some surety.

I think he is a ripper, he made some comments about getting it sorted in the offseason or something jsut after we got knocked out.

It's GPS based. I only use it for cycling but there has been occasions where I have topped the leaderboard for fastest segment time yet the person riding with me has been given a different time. Buts it's normally no more than 5 seconds.

Giant hunt on for experience

The Giants are scouring the market for available delisted free agents as they consider adding AFL experience via the rookie draft.
www.brisbanetimes.com.au www.brisbanetimes.com.au

Bit of a nothing piece and the club has always been keen to add cheap DFAs with experience and not sure on who exactly but a small forward/outside player would suit

Sounds like they gave it to the work experience kid to do ... and he follows rugby league, so just made shit up. :p
