An interesting take on The Draft

Outside of the sporting world, the draft is of course the American term for what we would call conscription. Its military usage can be defined as the state compelling its citizens, or subjects, to join that state’s armed forces, both inside and outside of peacetime.

If conscription was traditionally a net that caught the poorest and most vulnerable, then our AFL draft is the reverse: the better educated and more stable your family background, the more likely you are to get a go at the brutal combat that is top league footy.

Swap 'get a go' with 'succeed' and you get the answer to 'why'?
