AFL Academy coach calls for raising of the draft age – SEN
“They’re on the scrapheap when they’re 21 years of age when they should be building into the peak of their careers.”
AFL Academy assistant coach Glen Jakovich firmly believes the draft age should be elevated by 12 months in order to protect draftees who arent ready for the pressures of AFL football.
The Eagles legend has seen a number of juniors come through the Academy during his time and says some have had the talent to succeed, but were not ready to make the professional leap at 18.
Jakovich hopes when the AFL holds its external review, that the draft age is something that is brought up.
