Welcome to The Draft Hub.

Please ensure you adhere to the following guidelines as well as the BigFooty rules.

- Reproduction of articles

Pick out the important part, up to a paragraph in length, and post that along with links to the original article. Nobody is permitted to post entire articles, regardless of where they have come from. By the same token, dumping links with little context to drum up traffic for your off-site content is not acceptable.

- Show a bit of patience and respect

Not everyone is a draft and trading expert, so show some patience and respect. By all means defend your team, but don’t attack the poster, their club or representatives of the club. Be kind to new posters, we all have to start somewhere. In particular, please be respectful of our resident experts who spend considerable time and effort scouting the U18s players each year and making their insights available to us.

- Dragging posts and discussions from team boards

If you want to reply or criticise something on a team's board post there, not on here. They are separate boards with different rules and expectations.

- House-keeping

Please search first before creating new threads. AFL player movements and list management is discussed on the main board, while draft prospects are discussed on the Draft Hub. Threads regarding past drafts, trades & free agency moves can be found in The Wash Up, where a more relaxed approach is encouraged. Our new Women's Draft, Sign & Trade board houses similar content for the AFLW.

Draft and trading games (other than 'BigFooty Official' competitions) are to be conducted on the Other Footy Games board.

- Phantom drafts

For those who wish to guess the final draft order and order of players selected are encouraged to post in the Draft Predictions thread. We also have an official BigFooty draft tipping competition each year, so be sure to keep an eye out as there are prizes to be won!

For those who have the time and interest to develop a full Phantom Draft thread, please ensure that you are using the correct draft order (as of the time of posting), include at least the full first round, and reasoning/player descriptions to justify the decisions you have made. Threads which do not contain these attributes may be merged into the Draft Predictions thread or deleted at the discretion of the moderators.

Whether you're a casual highlights watcher or attend games religiously, there's a place for you on the Draft Hub.

Contribute great reviews and insights, and gain a reputation as a hardworking draft devotee to climb the tiers to ultimate guru status!

Draft Guru (to be added in 2022)
Gurus
are strongly engaged, reputable members of the Draft Hub community and enjoy sharing their knowledge with others beyond their own threads. They have a guru_binos.png badge and thread prefix, a custom graphic for their threads, and can nominate others for Watcher status. To acknowledge the broad contributions and due to the general nature of the threads that our gurus participate in, they will also have a brightly coloured name and custom title in addition to their other privileges.

Draft Expert
Experts are experienced and knowledgable long-time draft watchers, sometimes attached to a media organisation, and run an annual thread where they share their expertise. These specialised contributions are acknowledged with a expert_binos.png badge and thread prefix, and a custom graphic for their threads. They can also nominate others for Watcher status.

Draft Watcher
Watchers maintain an annual thread, watch games semi-regularly, and are willing to discuss their opinions with others in a genuine manner, but are not yet regarded as experts. Their contributions to the board are recognised with a watcher_binos.png badge and thread prefix.

Phantom Drafters
Phantom Drafters base their opinions on extensive research of secondary media including highlights videos, podcasts, interviews and articles. They create threads at the end of the season which contain a full first round phantom draft using the correct draft order, along with explanatory comments discussing the reasoning behind each pick.

If you believe that you qualify for recognition as a Guru, Expert or Watcher, please get in touch with Lore via PM and we'll see what we can do :)
