AFL draft hopefuls reveal bizarre questions from clubs

Several up-and-coming AFL hopefuls have revealed some of the downright bizarre questions they have been asked by club officials in the lead up to the draft.

Noah Anderson, a projected top five pick at the upcoming draft from the Oakleigh Chargers, revealed to radio station SEN that one club had presented him with the classic philosophical ‘trolley problem’ as part of their efforts to get a better handle on the highly-rated prospect.

TRADE BOMBSHELL: Geelong gets massive return from West Coast for Tim Kelly

HUGE MOVE: Bomber Joe Daniher officially requests trade to Swans

For those who are unaware, the ‘trolley problem’ presents the problem of a runaway tram and two tracks - one with five people on it, another with just one person. The subject is asked to explain which track they would send the runaway tram down, questioning the ethics of sacrificing one person to save five more.

Anderson, a teenager, also told SEN the same recruiters threw a wrinkle into the problem. The young gun was asked whether he would push an overweight person in front of both tracks, thereby saving all involved.

While some of the other questions weren’t as morbid, Anderson revealed they were equally baffling.

The Gold Coast Suns presented Anderson with a picture of a bike race, allowed him to study it for 10 seconds, then asked him to come up with a story about the image.

"I've just had a meeting with Gold Coast, they asked me some really weird questions,” Anderson told AFL Trade Radio in a separate interview.

“They showed me a photo of a bike race, I was able to look at it for 10 seconds and then I had to tell them a story about the race. I was all over the shop.”

Anderson wasn’t the only player to cop a baffling line of questioning, with fellow prospect Brodie Kemp revealing Sydney had asked him to select from five children’s toys, before explaining the reasoning behind his choice.

Massive haul for Geelong in Tim Kelly trade

Geelong have accepted a swag of draft picks from West Coast in return for star midfielder Tim Kelly in a blockbuster AFL trade finalised on Wednesday.
