Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2026

[Keystone agony]

People have Arki Butler well entrenched in the top 3, some 2nd behind Cochrane

The SA boy from Glenelg who kicked 28 from 13 this year is impressive as an underager. Has the size to be more than that aswell 182

Wizard watson kicked 18 from 7 games in his underage year without the ability to play elsewhere

Both Davey Twins were delisted before the age their dad got onto a AFL list.

Essendon List Sizes
1993 55
2025 43

Maybe remove the cap, and clubs can manage salary cap with more players.
say have a minimum of 42 and Max of 50
E.g Efc could run with 50 players and Geelong 43.

Larger list sizes would also make it easier for a stand alone reserves competition.

Also makes it easier for good sides to hog all the talent and nothing overflows to everyone else. They already do it to some extent by managing their cap well while promising glory and a cash gig with some sponsor.
