Take control of draft night
An AFL draft simulator for your next what-if
Make your own mock draft of the AFL national draft. Choose incoming prospects for clubs, explore a pick trade and follow what changes when a bid is matched.
Review the starting board
Open the draft room and check the selected class, starting pick ownership and rule settings. The setup is a scenario to explore, not an official forecast.
Make the picks and test a trade
Build a shortlist from the prospect profiles, then choose players for the club on the clock. Try a pick trade and compare the options left at its next selection.
Follow the bid, then compare
For a father-son or academy prospect, inspect the matching decision and the picks used. Compare each club’s whole haul, then save a version before trying another path.

For the what-if fans.
Hi, I’m Adam. By day, I work in construction and project management. After hours, I’m a self-taught coder building the AFL tools I always wanted to use.
It started with a spreadsheet and a question: what if fans could see the picks, points, bids and club needs together? SotaramAFL grew from there.
Make a bold selection. Question a trade. Build a better list. That’s what these tools are here for.

Before you draft
AFL mock draft questions
New to the tools? Here’s where to start.
How do I make a 2026 AFL mock draft?
Open the Mock Draft Simulator, review the board and choose players for each club. Try trades and bids to explore a different outcome. The simulator guide walks through your first draft.
Is this the AFL national draft or AFL Fantasy?
The mock draft tool models the AFL national draft, where clubs select incoming prospects. It is built for club selections, pick trades and bid matching.
Can I check my club’s draft picks and bid points?
Yes. Open the club bid calculator for a dated pick hand and funding scenarios, or browse all 18 club pages. The calculator explains its assumptions and links to the rule sources.
Are the prospect rankings and mock drafts official predictions?
No. SotaramAFL is an independent fan project. Profiles include editorial scouting views, and mock drafts explore possible scenarios. See sources and methodology for the distinction between sourced facts, assessments and assumptions.
