The AFL Draft will return to its late-November fixture, with the AFL confirming the dates for state-based draft combines and the remainder of the U19 State matches.
The first night of the AFL Draft has been confirmed as Wednesday, November 24. The AFL is hopeful of running the event over a two nights with the first round on the first night, but that decision is yet to be confirmed.
The State Championships have undergone alterations with both Victorian sides and areas of the combined Allies side unable to compete. Western Australia and South Australia have played two matches against each other with WA prevailing on both accounts in high octane clashes, and both states are set to benefit from additional matches before the AFL Draft.
