Does anyone else think that the draft camp is a complete waste of time???
I believe it is. The philosophy behind it is utterly flawed. Whilst the elaborate set of tests may show that a paticular person has the potential to play AFL football, the only way you can tell, is by making them play FOOTBALL.
The draft camp attempts to find athletes, not footballers. The draft is hit and miss affair, the draft camp does not improve a club's chance of discovering a player's ability, it probably does the opposite- as I have said the only way a player can prove their potential is to play football, not by acheiving the best score in the beep test!
The AFL should scrap this expensive charade and spend the money elsewhere- like country football!!
