Draft Ready | Part 4: The Factors Outside Your Control (And Why They Still Matter)
You can control your training, your skills, and your mindset - but not every factor that decides draft night. In the final part of our Draft Ready series, we unpack the uncontrollable variables: a recruiter's personal philosophy, the ever-shifting needs of AFL/AFLW clubs, and the rule changes reshaping the game. Understanding them won't put them in your hands, but it will help you back yourself in with confidence.
