2026 AFL Draft: see the decisions behind the picks
A mock draft is your prediction of which players clubs could select on draft night. The SotaramAFL AFL Mock Draft Simulator lets you make those selections yourself and explore how different choices change the draft board.
Explore the 2026 draft class, read player profiles, and try player and pick trades. Model father-son and academy bids, draft points, and future selections as you build your own draft scenario.
In a hypothetical exchange, pick 8 carries 1,443 points while picks 14 and 26 total 1,645. The extra 202 points do not settle the decision: one club gains earlier access to a prospect, while the other gains two opportunities. The useful comparison is who each club can actually select.

- Open the simulator and review the draft board and available players.
- Choose a player for each pick and explore the resulting selections.
- Try trades and bid-matching scenarios to see how the board changes.

Is this an official AFL draft prediction?
No. SotaramAFL is an independent fan-built tool. Your mock draft explores possible outcomes; it does not predict or guarantee clubs’ actual selections.
Can I explore AFL draft points and bids?
Yes. The simulator models bid matching and pick points so you can explore how father-son and academy selections affect your mock draft.

🏉 About Me
From Worksite to Website — Building Tools for Footy Fans Everywhere
Hi, I’m Adam, the creator of SotaramAFL — a lifelong AFL fan, a construction professional by trade, and a self-taught coder who couldn’t stop thinking about how AFL list managers actually make their draft-day decisions.
During the day, I’m working in the construction and project world — managing sites, solving problems, planning works, and keeping complex projects moving.
At night (and often way too late), I’m coding tools, breaking code, fixing code, and building something I wish existed years ago.
🧰 Why I Built This
For years, I watched the AFL Draft and thought:
“There has to be a better way to visualise this. Fans should be able to see the points, the bid-matching, the club deficits… all in real time.”
What started as a simple spreadsheet became a full mock draft simulator with:
- Live pick points
- Real bid-matching logic
- Accurate club deficits and adjustments
- Future picks and trade scenarios
- Club strategies, player pools, and community mock drafts
🚀 What’s Next
- More advanced draft simulations + better points visualisation
- Improved UI and more analytics
- Team needs, depth charts, and new community-requested features
- More content + live coverage via YouTube
Thank you for being here. If you’ve got feedback or ideas, I’d love to hear them.
