AFL Draft start time in every state

The countdown is on to this year’s unqiue AFL Draft as young guns gear up to learn where they’ll pursue their professional careers.

The new kids on the block.

The AFL Draft kicks off tonight as future stars learn where they'll begin their professional journeys.

In footy’s weirdest year ever, thanks to COVID-19, lots of competitions were cancelled, robbing rising stars of opportunities to impress talent scouts from across the league.

But there will still be plenty of smiles when young guns like Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Logan McDonald hear their names read out tonight.

The Draft will begin at 7pm AEDT. Around the country, that looks like this:

NSW, ACT, Victoria and Tasmania — 7pm

South Australia — 6.30pm

Queensland — 6pm

Northern Territory — 5.30pm

Western Australia — 4pm

The Draft is usually split across multiple nights but this year, with fewer players to pick from, every club will make their picks on the one night.

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is a name on everyone’s lips.
