It's been 25 years since the greatest draft in AFL history took place, and Riot Content and AFL.com.au have combined to create a three-part documentary series that tells the story of the 2001 draft – plus the dramatic events that took place before the first pick was read out, and the years of drama that played out in its wake.

Superdraft features more than a dozen interviews with key figures of the time, including Luke Hodge, Luke Ball, player manager Paul Connors, St Kilda director and coach Grant Thomas, Fremantle CEO Cameron Schwab and his senior coach Chris Connolly, Hawthorn coach Peter Schwab, recruiter John Turnbull and Hawks football director Dermott Brereton.  

The documentary delves into how key decisions from players, coaches, recruiters, board members and agents alike shaped club fortunes for the next two decades, including Fremantle's fateful decision to trade the most prized asset in the draft – the No.1 pick.

Superdraft will launch on Monday, November 16, just days out from the 2026 Telstra AFL Draft when dozens of young footballers will get their chance to follow in the footsteps of the game's greatest players.
