Draft should be held in October instead of 5 weeks after silly season.
All the chatter is bloody annoying.
Unfortunately the Draftees have their VCE’s to tend with over the next 4 weeks.
They also need to prepare for life after football….
What difference do you think it would make? A significant one? There might be 70 kids taken across the country.
All that anxiety about both exams + draft.

Knowing you're drafted and can relax somewhat (they would, smart or not), or knowing you're not drafted so you'd better study harder
As someone who potentially has a daughter looking to be drafted this season I can tell you first hand, exams are taking 100% of her focus at the moment and so they should be.
We’re not just talking about the 50 or 60 kids who will get drafted this year, we’re also talking about the 3-400 hundreds that will nominate and won’t get drafted. These kids have just spent the last 12 years working toward this, is definitely doesn’t come down to “oh well, I didn’t get drafted, I better pull my finger out with study now” for many of the kids the next 4 weeks may determine what happens to them for the rest of there lives, it shouldn’t be all thrown out the window just because the punters can’t wait and extra 5 weeks to see what there club is going to do in the draft.
