RECRUITING is all about looking ahead, and sometimes that can be a long way into the future.
This week AFL.com.au's Road to the Draft podcast does just that, as we take a look at the bottom-aged players to shine during this year's NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.
That is, the prospects who are not eligible for the draft until the 2015 intake.
One of those players, Vic Country's Josh Dunkley – a possible father-son selection for the Sydney Swans next year – joins us for an interview after an impressive carnival.
Draft reporter Callum Twomey and host Nat Edwards review the division two action from last weekend and look forward to a big final week of the championships.
We also continue to dissect the draft needs of AFL clubs, this week turning their attention to Carlton, Adelaide and West Coast.
