- Playing Nationals with a team constitutes "signing" with a them.
- Only those who have never played Nationals are eligible to be drafted.
- Australian ulti-citizens (learned to play in Australia) only.
- Teams who played Nationals last season are eligible to be in the draft.
- Lowest finishing team gets pick #1, second lowest gets #2, so on and so forth.
This is what the 2009 season draft might have looked like...
WOMEN
Pick #1 (Indies) - Louisa Battista (Adelaide U18s)
Pick #2 (Primal) - Amber Hong (Perth Social League)
Pick #3 (Sulty) - Colette Grgic (Uni of Queensland)
Pick #4 (Sugar Mags) - Jennifer Hoar (Newcastle U18s)
Pick #5 (Honey) - Steph Malcher (Deakin Uni)
Pick #6 (Bush) - Emily Johnson (Uni of Tasmania)
Pick #7 (Team Box) - *Pass*
Pick #8 (Factory Girls) - Jill Sutton (Canberra League)
Pick #9 (Wildcard) - Loren Viswalingam (Sydney U18s)
Pick #10 (Wildcard) - Fiona McDonald (Sydney Uni)
MEN
Pick #1 (Fakulti) - Mike Tarn (Sydney Uni)
Pick #2 (Chilly) - Matt Wood (Melbourne Social League)
Pick #3 (Firestorm) - Reece Stewart (Brisbane U18s)
Pick #4 (Karma) - Ben Foley (Flinders Uni)
Pick #5 (Sublime) - Max Daube (Perth Social League)
Pick #6 (Chilly) - Byron Wicks (Melbourne Social League)
Pick #7 (HoS) - Andrew Lorimer (Traralgon)
Pick #8 (I-Beam) - Rhys Clenton (Newcastle U18s)
Pick #9 (Fyshwick) - Andrew Jackson (Canberra League)
Pick #10 (Fakulti) - Michael Thomas (UTS)
...and the order of picks for next year's draft....
| WOMEN 1. Honey 2. Indies 3. Bush 4. Sultry 5. Factory Girls 6. Primal 7. Honey 8. Sugar Mags 9. Team Box 10. Wildcard | MEN 1. Umlaut 2. Chilly 3. Sublime 4. Fakulti 5. Karma 6. Fakulti 7. Sublime 8. Firestorm 9. I-Beam 10. HoS |
So who want to speculate who will be in 2010's top 10?
-EDIT- A couple of glaring omissions have been pointed out to me, so I've fixed them up. I forgot that Mike Tarn hadn't played Nats before, and that Andrew Lorimer made the A's for HoS but didn't make the trek to Perth. Sorry to Phil and Rory!

Are you smoking crack? Henry first pick? I LOL at you. Also, Loren played nats last year
No she didnt, she only playd regionals. But i reckon Mike Tarn would have been picked over Henry and Rory, being a key handler for Fak, in the intrests of pedantry. No disrespect to either, but Mike would have been picked above ifthere was a draft. Asfor this year, the only person can think of is Eshan, coming from juniors, who played the div 1 draft last year, amd showed mad skills.
some of the UTS girls coming through might also put there hands up t play at the next level, like Kate Rutherford, but she played mxed nats...does that make her ineligible
Shit. How did I forget Mike?
There's a couple of uni players in Victoria who Chilly would want to look at. The Geelong boys are pretty keen to stay as a unit for the next couple of seasons, even if it means not going to Nats until 2012. However there are some girls down there that could easily step up. Team Box already have tabs on a couple.
Surely you would have to look at a clubs A team finish to determine their drafting position. For example, you have Chilly with pick 2, yet their A team won the tournament. Are you proposing that if Chilly does get this 2nd draft pick, the person they pick has to play in Chilly B for the next year's nationals? What if the club doesn't have a B team?
Same with Sublime, they finished 6th, yet have the 3rd draft pick.
How come Kaos from Perth (women's) doesn't get a mention? They finished 5th as a brand new team and had 5 rookies who had never played Nationals. Certain to have a team for Nats next year as well.
Sally - I only included teams that played Nats in 2007 in this little exercise. I'm planning on running a mock draft at the end of this year (probably post-Mixed Nats) so I'll be sure to include Kaos in that!
