Now that the draft boards are locked in I can express excitement at the possibility of getting another project to peak my interest in the game again. This is what's available out of II.3, not including the 19yo's;

It's going to be hard for either prospect to match what Laga'aia was out of the draft but I don't see A- as a dealbreaker for U21 hopes, considering the start of season news about draftees being judged more harshly on star rating than before. I've also got an outside chance of getting someone really good in my Utopia team, but nationality on those draftees is random.

Back in the day these sorts of threads had a lot of activity and I'm hoping, if my interest in this game does peak again, to try and make the national forums active once more.

Love the idea of this thread as I always find it interesting looking around at the best Aussie draftees.
I didn't have a crack at the draft this season but still managed to land a Superstar and MVP potential each so can't complain, although they're nothing special.
Hope your love for it all comes back to you.

Wow The Bandits nailed the draft. Two HOF 18 year olds and a PAS with good skills other then Stam and FT being low.

Everything went well on the staff hiring front too, got a level 7 nutritionist + youth trainer. Would've taken a level 7 regular trainer but someone went madder trying to get them (still ended up with level 6 + fitness).

Just as well too... this 3rd round fluke was so filthy that I feel bad for anyone who scouted their league and found no-one;

Very nice.

Looks like you've accumulated some strong prospects. With the right training the outlook will be good long term
