The 2012 NAB AFL Draft returns to the Gold Coast this month, offering a superb backdrop to the second biggest media event in the AFL’s calendar.

With more than 100 top young athletes from Australia vying for selection at AFL Clubs, the NAB AFL Draft is always an exciting event. Following a very busy trade period, and the entry of both the Gold Coast SUNS and the GWS Giants into the AFL competition , the 2012 Draft will see a return to a more traditional event with all clubs looking to secure amazing young talent.

AFL Club members, along with participants and volunteers in Queensland and Northern NSW are invited to attend on Thursday November 22. The event will again be staged at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach from 5.30 - 7.30pm (local time).

The 2012 NAB AFL Draft will also be broadcast live nationally on Fox Sports.

AFL Queensland is staging a full week’s program of activities surrounding the draft, including a combine testing event for more than 200 young male and female athletes, a Cadbury’s AFL 9’s corporate challenge as well as Talent Identification and Level 2 Coaching courses.
