Now the stadium in Hobart is approved, presumably the AFL will have to clarify the specifics around the rules, and WHEN the 1st of the mini-drafts is actually happening... The October announcement mentioned the 2 x mini-drafts, but there were no other specifics attached.

Draft picks galore, $5m sign-on pool: Tasmania's list build rules revealed

I'm really not disappointed we have traded out of the 27 draft. Mini-drafts will take out 2 (at least) more prospects in a compromised draft.

The 2027 pick was always a for sale one and we really only just downgraded it to let’s say a mid second (Carl’s)

AFL Draft | Top club-tied prospects for 2026

After what was the most compromised draft in history, plenty more club-tied talent is on the way in 2026, including two at the very top.

Sydney is another booming academy, with the aforementioned Aidan McCartney spearheading another exciting group. Twins Guy and William Jenkin are also right up there with their running games and neat fundamental skills. Expect them to occupy opposite wings in 2026.

The Swans also have midfielder Lachlan Price coming through, after he showed his wares for the NSW/ACT Futures team. Outside runner Patrick Smith is another to watch, while athletics covert Mason McGroder has enormous upside but remains incredibly raw as a versatile tall talent.
