In terms of lab league v VFL - I think the AFL would prefer draft year kids to play Nab League. More exposure given its meant to be thie "elite pathway" into the system. But Nick and Dib do seem physically ready for VFL, and it really doesn't matter where Nick lands within the first round, its not like he has to impress other clubs. Dib too.
VFL would be better for their development no doubt. Playing against men, like they do in the SANFL and WAFL. You'd think they would do a similar system here, rather than Nab League.
Maybe covid cuts doesn't help the cause, not all scouts or recruiters can go to state games, so easier to watch nab league games which are recorded.
I think this might have been overlooked in the follow up discussion, but we no longer have full access to Dib so his draft position is very important to the club. If he’s nominated within the first 20 picks on draft night we lose him. That said were I him I’d absolutely be going to the VFL over NAB league.
