AFLW DRAFT

The AFLW Draft is a highly anticipated event in the Australian Football League Women's (AFLW) calendar. It is the annual event where clubs have the opportunity to recruit the best young female footballers in the country. The draft is a key part of the AFLW's development and growth, and it provides clubs with the chance to bolster their squads and build for the future.
This year's AFLW Draft is set to be one of the most competitive yet, with a number of talented players available for selection. Some of the top prospects include Ash Centra, Jade De Melo, and Lilly Post. Centra is a midfielder who is known for her speed, agility, and goal-scoring ability. De Melo is a tough and physical defender who is also a strong ball-winner. Post is a key forward who is known for her marking ability and long range kicking.
The AFLW Draft will be held on Tuesday, June 27, 2023, at the Hilton Hotel in Melbourne. The draft will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo Sports.
Here are some of the key things to watch for during the AFLW Draft:

The first round of the draft: The first round of the draft is always the most exciting, as it is when the top prospects are selected. This year, there are a number of talented players who could be taken in the first round, including Centra, De Melo, and Post.
The trade period: The trade period is a period of time before the draft where clubs can trade picks and players. This year, the trade period will run from June 13-23. Clubs will be looking to make moves to improve their position in the draft or to acquire players who they believe will be good fits for their team.
The draft order: The draft order is determined by the finishing positions of the teams in the previous AFLW season. The bottom-placed team gets the first pick, and the top-placed team gets the last pick. This year, the bottom-placed team is the Gold Coast Suns, and the top-placed team is the Adelaide Crows.

The AFLW Draft is a great opportunity for clubs to improve their squads and build for the future. It is also a great opportunity for fans to see some of the best young female footballers in the country.
